is a strong indication of its market dominance” he added.

users to keep a backup of 20TB of raw data on a single pocket-size
cartridge,” said Marije Stijnen, VP, Marketing, Tandberg Data. “At
that capacity point, RDX technology beats all other backup methods in
its class as a safe and economical data protection solution for users
who want to secure their important files.”
