Tape backup and data interchange solutions for the video / pre-press industry

If you prefer to browse our product list according to platform, please proceed to the Products By Platform Directory ; our main Product Directory is also an excellent starting point for identifying solutions to your back-up related problems.

The DS1000 is a direct replacement for the magnetic tape drive that typically provides data to a high-speed press. Print files can be sent to the press via the DS1000 directly from a local network or even via the internet.

Avax also offers FlashTape units that "look" to be tape drives to the host system, but write the data to readily available Flash cards.

Avax offers a complete range of 8mm and LTO tape libraries. Everything from the local department to the entire enterprise - GigaBytes to PetaBytes.

Avax's tape subsystems cover a wide range of capacities and a very wide range of platforms in all popular formats. We can still source tape drives and libraries in formats that are no longer being manufactured.

Connect almost any tape drive to practically any system. Complete emulation of standard manufacturer supplied drives for "plug and play" operation.

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.

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.

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.

iSCSI to SCSI bridges, SCSI to iSCSI and bi-directional Fiber-SCSI bridges allow you the flexibility to connect your hardware in whatever way you need.
