RDX + WORM

Tandberg Data has announced the worldwide availability of RDX media with WORM (Write Once Read Many) functionality. Combined with RDX WORM media, RDX removable disk systems, including RDX QuikStor and RDX QuikStation, now meet an expanded set of regulatory compliance requirements and are ideal for use with a large number of archiving applications.

Files stored on RDX WORM media cannot be modified or deleted and can be accessed and read without limitation. Data can be added to RDX WORM and existing files cannot be overwritten. With this new enhancement, RDX becomes the single best technology to replace magneto-optical drives, CDs and DVDs.

“Since 2005, RDX technology has been promoted by major system OEMs and trusted by professional IT departments for reliable and affordable backup and disaster recovery,” said Hugo Bergmann, product manager at Tandberg Data. “With the new WORM functionality, RDX now integrates extremely well into a broad range of archiving solutions. In addition, prosumer users can take full advantage of this technology by archiving their music, movies and photos in a safe and undeletable manner.”

RDX WORM is particularly well suited for the following applications:
• Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
• Document Management Systems (DMS)
• Finance Data
• Data Logging
• Patient Files like PACS
• Video and Voice recording
• Documentation

Compared to currently available optical media like CDs, DVDs or BluRay, RDX removable disk technology provides significantly greater storage capacity. Tandberg Data offers RDX media with integrated WORM functionality in capacities of 320GB, 500GB and 1TB. All generations of RDX media and drives are compatible with each other.
