80 GB VXA-2 Tape Device Technology
The VXA technology tape device offerings can store 80 GB of data on a 230
meter cartridge at 6 MB per second data transfer rate (160 GB capacity and 12
MB per second data rate with software data compression). These tape devices
can provide an unattended backup solution for a large number of low-end iSeries
servers.
The 80 GB VXA-2 Tape Devices (#1889, #4585, #4685, #9285, #9689) are
integrated features. The IBM 7206-VX2 Tape Device is a stand-alone external
device.
The VXA-2 devices use a new media format that is not compatible with any of the
tape devices that are currently offered on the iSeries server.
