The HP C7974A is a unique piece of data storing equipment. It is capable of storing up to 1.6TB of information. To put this in perspective, each terabyte contains 1,000GB or gigabytes, each gigabyte is made up of 1,000MB, or megabytes and each of these megabytes contain 1,000KB or kilobytes. Regardless of the type of personal computer you have, all of the information it stores can be placed on such a device and there is enough room for a few dozen more. You can completely wipe your system before placing it up for sale. If you are having trouble selling it, you might want to consider a Computer Reseller Dubai company that will help you deal with this problem faster than you imagined!

Today there are many competing technologies that are designed to be used for Data backup. The front runners in data backup technology are hard drive based NAS boxes and Tape Media based devices and both can be found at Data care Dubai. However what many people fail to understand it that these two are not competing, they complement each other.

Imagine a scenario where your hard drive fails. How much data would you need to restore to be able to start working? Probably just 25% of your data would be good enough for you to get back on your feet immediately. The rest of the information can wait to be recovered as it was never accessed frequently! This is where HP C7974A comes into play. Individuals who want to ensure that their precious information is safe in case of a computer malfunction should become familiar with HP C7974A and the advantages it provides! Data care Dubai provides relevant information about its products and the advantages they bring!

Moving on, your 25% of crucial data should be stored on both a NAS box and tapes. The other 75% should be stored only on tapes. In case of a malfunction you can quickly get your crucial data back from NAS box as it’s faster to restore, while the rest of the 75% can be restored from HP C7974A which can be purchased from Data care dubai, which is a large computer reseller in Dubai.

If you are wondering why you shouldn’t use NAS box for all the data stored on your computer, here is the answer: hard drives are expensive and they don’t enable you to store multiple data sets and the hard drive based solution is not physically isolated, being prone to the same dangers the rest of your data is. A Tape media like HP C7974A will be stored offsite, minimizing danger.
We are not wrong to say that tapes provide far more advantages than hard drives and they are definitely worth the investment. These tapes are cost-effective and they have grown to huge capacities over the past few years. Today we have LTO-5 that can store 3 TB of compressed data on a single tape. LTO-6 which is to be launched soon will have 6 TB compresses capacity.

Transfer rate wise, tape drives are very fast. Today LTO-5 has a transfer rate of 140MB per second, which is very fast. Most companies make use of both hard drive based backup and tape based long-term storage and at Datacare Dubai you will find all the storage devices you can possibly need!
