TKZ15 8 mm Tape Drive for OpenVMS and DEC OSF/1 Systems

HIGHLIGHTS

o  5 Gbyte (native), 10 Gbyte (compressed) 8 mm tape drive for users who
   have standardized on 8 mm backup technology

o  StorageWorks and tabletop configurations for direct SCSI attachment

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The TKZ15 is an industry standard, 8 mm, half-height (5.25 inch) tape drive
with a 112 meter cartridge and capacities of 5 Gbytes in native mode and 10
Gbytes in compressed mode. It can be used in both StorageWorks and tabletop
configurations for direct SCSI attachment and is backward compatible with
such previous 8 mm drives as the TKZ08, TLZ08, and TKZ09 drives.

The TKZ15 offers a lower price, greater capacity (as a result of its 2:1
compression capability), and improved reliability when compared with the
previous 8 mm drives. It also extends the range of StorageWorks options
available to users who have chosen to standardize on the widely used 8 mm
format or who require data interchange with systems that utilize 8 mm
drives.

The TKZ15 tape drive differs from competitors' offerings in its optional
StorageWorks packaging and its system testing. Users can call on the power
and packaging convenience of StorageWorks enclosures to ensure that their
backup options are easily located in the same cabinet as their disks.
