ProStor begins shipping ProStor InfiniVault Model 35
ProStor Systems Inc. began shipping its ProStor InfiniVault Model 35, which offers an automated data verification capability and more online disk than previous InfiniVault systems supporting RDX removable disk storage.
Automated data verification checks the data stored on the InfiniVault RDX cartridges, and then repairs lost data by reconstructing the cartridge. Data verification can be manual or scheduled, and the administrator is notified of cartridge failure. By ensuring the integrity of data stored on the RDX cartridge, this feature offers users a reason to move long-term data retention off tape.
