Products & Solutions

Tape Libraries
Avax offers a complete range of 8mm and DLT tape libraries. Once you set up the tape library and install the tape-inventory software, the network administrator sets a backup schedule and simply changes the magazine once per week or month.

Avax Tape Subsystems
Avax's tape subsystems cover a wide range of capacities - 2 GByte to 960 GByte, a range of transfer rates - 256 KBytes/sec to more than 20 MBytes/sec, and a very wide range of platforms.

TA40 Tape Array
Dual drives providing data striping, mirror and off-line copy modes. Capacity to 140 GBytes. SUSTAINED data transfer rates to 20MB/sec

Mirror mode produces two identical backup tapes simultaneously, with no additional system overhead. Using this method increases backup security by a factor of 1000! For additional security, the second drive can be remotely located via a fibre link

Paranoia2 In-line tape encryption unit The Paranoia2 data encryption unit builds on the technology of the original Paranoia unit to provide even more secure encryption, combined with the much higher throughput that is required by today's higher speed tape drives.

TE40 ultra-SCSI tape interface/emulator

Connect almost any 4mm, 8mm or DLT tape drive (including Sony AIT) to practically any system. Complete emulation of standard manufacturer supplied drives for "plug and play" operation.

Data Interchange Solutions

From 1/2" 1600/6250 BPI reel-to-reel drives to 3480/3490/3490E compatible drives and stackers, or any of the newer format SCSI tape drives (4mm, 8mm, DLT), with data interchange software to handle mainframe and unix formats on practically any platform or operating system - Avax is the single source for all your data interchange requirements.

SCSI Switches
Used to share devices or to switch all the peripherals between a live and back-up system in a failback situation; making more use of existing peripherals by allowing them to be shared across multiple platforms.

Extenders
A hardware device which allows a SCSI bus to operate over a distance of up to 40 kilometres using fibre optic cables; a major step forwards for high availability distributed processing, delivering the advantage of both speed and distance for open SCSI working.
