The RAID eXchangeable TeraPack (RXT) Sabre family of products combines the best of disk and tape, with the performance of disk, the mobility of tape, and the reliability of RAID. RXT Sabre architecture, at the heart of the family of RXT Sabre products, requires a SabreDrive that writes to portable SabreMedia using RAID. You can then move the data stored on SabreMedia off-site—your data is protected by RAID and stored on disk for rapid data backup and recovery.

RXT Sabre can be easily added to any backup environment. You don’t need to change existing backup strategies and policies, and you don’t need to add servers, software licenses, or applications. RXT Sabre always scales like tape, rather than requiring the large scaling increments of standard disk. And because it’s mobile and protected by RAID, you can store it off-line and off-site. This opens up a huge range of reliable, high-performance data protection options that were not possible—until now.

More About RXT Sabre
The RXT Sabre product family is based on an RXT SabreDrive, which matches the size of a standard tape drive that handles LTO or other half-inch tape. An RXT SabreDrive writes to portable media—SabreMedia —composed of multiple Serial ATA (SATA) disks sealed in an enclosure that tolerates rugged handling. RXT SabreMedia media is further protected by additional shock dampening technology incorporated into the media’s sealed enclosure.

Unlike tape, however, RXT SabreMedia is not limited to one media capacity per drive generation, as tape technologies are. RXT Sabre can accommodate multiple SabreMedia types (Gold, Silver, and Green), with differing capacities and RAID. Depending on the pack you are using, you may also use it across multiple RXT Sabre devices—from RXT SabreDrive D150 to RXT SabreDrive D350 to RXT SabreDrive D150 for the Spectra T950 library.

The innovative RXT Sabre family of mobile disk products has a low total cost of ownership because the mobile disk solution is:

  • Highly reliable, writing to disk using RAID, and protected by a shock-dampening enclosure—reducing risk.
  • Easy to use, manage, and maintain-lowering management costs.
  • A technology that is the future of storage, and with a roadmap that ensures that RXT Sabre and SabreMedia will grow to keep up with your data—protecting your investment.
