VXA Packet Technology - the new standard in tape backup and restore

Introducing the safest, most efficient way to backup and restore your data -- VXA Packet Technology.

In 1999 the world of tape storage changed forever. In a small technology lab in Boulder, Colorado, engineers were putting the final touches on what is today known as VXA Packet Technology. Back then it was a totally new and revolutionary way to backup and restore data on tape. Today it is the new standard for SMB/Departmental tape backup.

Exabyte's award-winning Packet Technology enables VXA Packet drives, autoloaders and tapes to read and write data in packets just like the Internet, providing far superior restore integrity, exceptional transfer speeds and scalable tape capacities. VXA products are up to 180x more likely to restore your data than DDS-4 and other competitors -- even from a damaged tape. With superior reviews by analysts and media, and adoption by major OEMs like IBM and Fujitsu Siemens Corporation, VXA Packet Technology is the new standard in tape backup.
