- Value for Money.
- Lower cost of ownership for small and medium sized organizations compared with AIT and DLT VS with a superior cost per GB. New wide format (DAT 160 and DAT 320) provides a longer tape with greater capacity. Few tape swaps and higher capacity cartridges mean a smaller footprint for backup and archiving and less downtime and operator invention. Backwards compatibility and a confirmed development roadmap offer sustained ROI and migration to higher capacities to meet growing storage demands.
