Dell upgrades tape-backup products
Dell Computer has released a new tape-backup system, the PowerVault 122T, a 3.5-inch thick automated tape library that can use up to eight cartridges for a maximum capacity of 320GB of uncompressed data. A low-end version of the product costs $4,150, Dell said Tuesday. Tape libraries, while increasingly being augmented by faster disk-based storage, are still popular because of their large capacity.
