Tandberg Storage Passes LTO Ultrium Format Generation 2 Mechanism Compliance

 

SILICON VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 6, 2005--Certance, HP, and IBM Corporation, the Technology Provider Companies (TPCs) for the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Program, today announced that Tandberg Storage has passed compliance test requirements for its tape drives based on the LTO Ultrium format generation 2, making Tandberg the fourth manufacturer of LTO Ultrium tape drives.

 

"A key premise for the creation of the LTO Program was to provide an open forum in which any company could license and manufacture tape products based on the LTO Ultrium specification, and Tandberg Storage is another crowning example of the customer benefits provided by open-standards -- multiple suppliers, unique feature sets, and interchangeability among competing LTO manufacturers," said Barry Rudolph, Vice President, Tape Storage Systems, IBM.

 

"Since LTO technology continues to increase its share of tape sales, the timing was right for Tandberg Storage to offer an LTO Ultrium format generation 2 tape drive to the small and medium size business segment," said Erik Solhjell, CEO of Tandberg Storage. "After an arduous and thorough testing process, it is a momentous occasion to pass compliance verification by the LTO Program."

 

In adherence to its compliance testing, the LTO Program requires that all licensees pass a series of compliance verification tests, which include rigorous data interchangeability testing before being issued a license to sell and the right to display the trusted LTO Ultrium trademark. Compliance testing of all Ultrium tape products must be completed annually to ensure that each manufacturer adheres to the LTO Ultrium format specifications. Buyers seeking true Ultrium format-compliant products should look for the LTO Ultrium format compliance verification trademarks on both tape drives and data cartridges.

 

The LTO Program has issued its specification for the LTO Ultrium format generation 3, LTO WORM, and recently announced an extended roadmap to the sixth generation.

 

LTO Ultrium format generation 3

 

The LTO Ultrium format generation 3 doubles physical storage capacity over generation 2, increasing to 800 GB from 400 GB (assuming a 2:1 compression). Transfer rates in generation 3 improve to up to 160 MB per second (MB/s) from 80 MB/s in generation 2 (assuming a 2:1 compression) allowing for up to 576 TB of backup performance per hour. The LTO Ultrium format generation 3 drives also offer backwards-compatible read-and-write capability with the Ultrium format generation 2 cartridges and backward read capability with generation 1 cartridges, helping to protect the investment customers have made in LTO technology.

 

LTO WORM

 

The LTO Program WORM implementation is designed to provide users with a very cost effective means of storing data in a non-rewriteable format to help address compliance regulations.

 

Robust algorithms using the Cartridge Memory (CM), in conjunction with low level encoding that is mastered on the tape media at the time of manufacture, are designed to prevent tampering. The LTO Ultrium format generation 3 specification includes the ability for WORM enabled and non-WORM enabled drives to co-exist. In addition, appending data at the end of a WORM cartridge which was previously written to is supported, thus allowing customers to take full advantage of the high capacity tape media.

 

Updated LTO Ultrium Roadmap

 

LTO Ultrium Generation 5

 

The LTO Ultrium format generation 5 is planned to double physical storage capacity over generation 4, increasing to 3.2 TB compressed (assuming a 2:1 compression). Transfer rates in generation 5 are planned to improve to up to 360 MB per second (MB/s) (assuming a 2:1 compression).

 

LTO Ultrium Generation 6

 

The LTO Ultrium format generation 6 is planned to double physical storage capacity over generation 5, increasing to 6.4 TB (assuming a 2:1 compression). Transfer rates in generation 6 are planned to improve to up to 540 MB/s (assuming a 2:1 compression).

 

The complete roadmap can be found at http://www.ultrium.com/newsite/html/format_roadmap.html.

 

How to License LTO Ultrium Technology

 

The LTO program offers several different license packages - from enhanced packages that provide the specifications and licenses to manufacture Ultrium products, to basic packages, providing Ultrium format specifications and guidelines for interchangeability.

 

Buyers seeking Ultrium format-compliant products should look for the Ultrium format compliance verification trademarks on both tape drives and data cartridges. Storage and media manufacturers interested in licensing LTO technology may obtain information by contacting the Law Offices of Ladas & Parry at (323) 934-2300, or by e-mail at LTO_INFO@ladasparry.com.

Kom over en liten notis i nyeste nummer av Teknisk Ukeblad (09/05, side 17)....

Her er en kort presentasjon av den nye halvhøyde LTO båndstasjonen, men det er forsåvidt ikke så interessant.

Det interessante er denne kommentaren:

Den nye 1U båndkassettroboten vi lanserte i høst, klarer vi ikke levere nok av. Det er som å selge sukkertøy til barn, sier en begeistret Aasene.

 

Hvis jeg tolker dette riktig er det Tandberg DLTVS160 1U StorageLoader det snakkes om. Og i løpet av april har vel TAD sagt at de skal lansere en tilsvarende modell med LTO teknologi. Det burde ikke bli mindre populært.

[tandy]

Helt korrekt Thatra!

 

Refererer fra 23.3.05 (lenger ned på tråden)

 

"Tandberg Data is also integrating the 420LTO into its 1U StorageLoader ™

offering up to 3.2 terabyte compressed capacity. The 1U LTO2 StorageLoader

is the industry's first 1U high LTO autoloader offering the most compact

LTO autoloader on the market and will be available throughout Tandberg

global distribution channels in April."

 

Det som står i TU er skikkelig Bullish !

 

Når markedet tar av for disse er det bye bye til 10 kroners TAD,n :lol:

[tandy]

CA selger en del idag...

Kan se ut som TAD vipper under 10 før dagen er omme .

Fin inngang for de som ønsker det ....

Tandberg Data’s Partners wooed with cash rebates

 

Kate Palmer, Auckland

 

 

Resellers who sign up to Tandberg Data’s revamped partner programme are being promised increased support and cash benefits.

 

The storage tape specialist wants to increase sales in the APAC region by 25% through the new-look Tandberg Special Storage Partner programme.

 

Marketing and communication executive Venus Ang says the idea is to create a unique programme with attractive benefits to members.

 

Ang says feedback from existing partners has led to changes to better address partner needs.

 

Georg Schlueter, business development manager ANZ, says the original programme — established in 1998 — never ran well in the region.

 

“Now customers can join the programme for twelve months with no sales commitment. Tandberg is trying to help them push the brand,” he says.

 

Schlueter was recently appointed to the Sydney-based position in a bid to grow sales in the ANZ market.

 

The programme offers three classes of partner: ordinary, gold and platinum.

 

Depending on the category resellers receive priority status for qualified leads, marketing development funds and rebates.

 

Tandberg says it is also looking to recruit resellers to increase sales in the SME market and to that effect Schleuter is working with New Zealand distributors T Data and Ingram Micro.

 

Membership will be reviewed annually and automatically renewed or promoted to the next category of partner.

 

“We will sit down with our partners and discuss how we can help them achieve their goals,” says Schleuter.

Analytiker sier kjøp

 

– Vi er nå sikre på at det vil komme en reaksjon opp, sier analytiker om Tandberg Data-aksjen.

 

Artikkel av: Stian Jacobsen (13.4.05 13:09)

 

I dagens morgenrapport fra Corporate Advice & Research anbefales kjøp av aksjer i Tandberg Data. Vurderingen er basert på teknisk aksjeanalyse.

 

– Aksjen har falt tilbake fra toppen på 11,5 og ned til gårsdagens 10 kroner på avtagende volum. Samtidig har aksjen også blitt kraftig oversolgt både på kort og mellomlang sikt. Aksjen har et kraftig støttenivå på mellom 9,90 og 10,25, skriver analytikeren.

 

– Disse faktorer tatt i betraktning gjør at vi nå er sikre på at det vil komme en reaksjon opp. Vi anbefaler kjøp med kortsiktig potensial til 11,50 og ved brudd på dette nivået er neste nivå 12,50, avslutter analytikeren.

Tandberg Unveils Compact Half-Height LTO-2 Drive

 

By Ankita Pandey, Rachita Vaid

Mumbai, Apr 15, 2005

 

Tandberg Data, manufacturer of tape information storage products, has launched its half-height LTO Ultrium 2 tape drive in the Indian market.

 

Gudmundur Einarsson, CEO, Tandberg Data ASA, said, "The recent industry trend highlights that the mid-range and mid-performance segments are the major growth areas in the storage space. There is a fast-growing demand for disk-based storage solutions for protection of data. Our products have been globally recognized for high performance, and we expect the same response for our new product."

 

The Tandberg 420LTO has a capacity of up to 400GB and a transfer rate of up to 48MB/s inside a space-saving 5 " inch half-height design. According to the company, it also features the best cost per gigabyte ratio and lowest power consumption as compared to any LTO Ultrium format drive in the market.

 

Ashok Kumar, sales director, South and West Asia, Tandberg Data, said, "In India we have been very successful with our SLR range of products. Our USP in the Indian market is our product s low power consumption of 18 watts. In addition, the important thing is that we have a broad product portfolio and make products for every segment in the market. The 420LTO is fully compliant to the LTO industry standard."

 

Tandberg has a two-tier channel network in India. It has three national distributors in Ingram Micro, SES Technologies and Select Technologies.

 

On the company s channel strategies, Kumar said, "We have appointed Ingram Micro for the broadband space, SES Technologies looks after the B and C class cities, while Select Technologies focuses on solutions. We have 600 qualified, storage-focused channel partners in the country. The channel is our limbs and one of the most important parts of our business strategies.

 

We are revitalizing the channel in the B and C class cities and have ongoing training programs and other pre-sales activities to build a strong network. Recently, we conducted a four-city roadshow in Kolkata, New Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai. The roadshows, which were targeted at the resellers, concluded today in Mumbai. The second leg of the event would begin in June, covering cities like Pune, Ahmedabad, etc.

Tandberg expands storage channel in more aggressive North American push

21 April, 2005

by Mark Cox

 

Tandberg Data, through its InoStor Corp. wholly-owned subsidiary, is beefing up its presence in North America though the expansion of its existing partnership with distributor Condre Storage Inc. to include LTO tape drives and tape automation product lines.

Tandberg has historically used InoStor, of which it owned 55 per cent, for its North American distribution. Two months ago, however, Tandberg bought the rest of InoStor, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary, and since then has embarked on an aggressive campaign to broaden and deepen its channel. It signed a distribution agreement with TigerDirect. Now it is extending its relationship with Condre. Condre previously distributed Tandberg's NAS solutions. Now LTO tape drives and tape automation product lines have been added to the available offerings. And looking forward, Tandberg/InoStor will announce other significant distribution deals.

 

"This agreement enables Condre Storage to broaden our reach into the midrange reseller and systems integrator communities in North America as mainstream LTO tape technology moves from the enterprise into the SMB," said Dennis Maetzold, president of Condre Storage Inc. "Since Tandberg's tape automation and NAS product lines complement each other, it positions us to immediately benefit our VAR and system builder partners. In addition, our flexible business terms and sales and support expertise provides a vendor resource for resellers not currently offered by other distributors in the storage arena."

 

This extended relationship positions Condre to take advantage of Tandberg's extensive experience in the storage industry, offering midrange and enterprise solutions, for the immediate benefit of their VAR and System Builder partners," said Ken Cruden, InoStor's COO. "We are very excited about combining our strong product offerings with Condre's comprehensive channel programs."

 

Tandberg's recently added LTO-based tape drive solutions to its offerings, and features the 420LTO, which it bills as the most compact and fastest LTO-2 half-height drive in the industry.

29.04.05 10:36 TAD FUJITSU SIEMENS COMPUTERS - OEM AGREEMENT avtaler

 

Fujitsu Siemens Computers has decided for Tandberg Data as

supplier for LTO Ultrium 2 Half Height tape drives, which

Tandberg Data launched earlier this year.

 

The product will be available to Fujitsu Siemens customers

in PRIMERGY Tower- and Rack- Servers.

 

Tandberg Data estimates the annual revenue to USD 4-6

million. Volume shipments are expected in the second half

this year.

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The product has been through an extensive testing and

qualification at Fujitsu Siemens, who has approved the

product.

 

The new agreement represents a continuation of our long

relationship with Fujitsu Siemens which started in 1985.

This is an important milestone and confirms the strong

position Tandberg Data still has within tape based

solutions, as a strategic partner to the large

international players.

[tandy]

Foreløpige tall fra 1ste kvartal 2005:

 

Selskapet fikk en omsetning på 23,62 millioner dollar i første kvartal mens driftsresultatet ble på minus 1,2 millioner kroner. Resultat før skatt endte på minus 1,1 millioner kroner. Det var særlig finansposter som altså dro opp resultatet.

:(

[Pantera]

Tandberg Data(TAD) KURS 8.47

 

 

Tandberg Data ligger i en fallende trend og videre nedgang innenfor denne indikeres. Aksjen har brutt ned gjennom støtten ved ca 8.63 kr og videre nedgang er dermed signalisert. RSI er oversolgt, noe som indikerer at en kortsiktig reaksjon opp snart bør komme. RSI-kurven viser en fallende trend, noe som understøtter det negative trendbildet. Aksjen anses samlet sett teknisk negativ på kort sikt.

TAD FUJITSU SIEMENS - SHIPMENTS OF LTO 2 STARTED !

 

Fujitsu Siemens Computers have started to deliver LTO

Ultrium 2 Half Height tape drives. The product is available

to Fujitsu Siemens customers in PRIMERGY Tower- and Rack-

Servers.

 

Thus Tandberg Data`s long term OEM Partner in Europe begins

customer shipments only a few weeks after the successful

qualification of the tape drive. This is another important

step for Tandberg Data towards gaining a significant share

of the LTO market.

TAD skuffer !

 

Omsetningen faller og pengene renner ut av Tandberg Data.

 

 

Artikkel av: Stian Jacobsen (31.5.05 08:39)

 

 

 

I første kvartal 2005 omsatte Tandberg Data for 23,6 millioner dollar, mot 28,6 millioner dollar for et år siden. Selskapet fikk et negativt driftsresultat på 1,2 millioner dollar, mot et positivt driftsresultat på 1,9 millioner dollar året før. Selskapet fikk et resultat før skatt på minus 1,1 millioner dollar, mot et positivt resultat på 2,0 millioner dollar i første kvartal 2004.

– Omsetningen var noe svakere enn ventet, og skyldes forsinkelsen i lanseringen av LTO 2-produktet som ble lansert i slutten av kvartalet. Nedgangen er hovedsakelig i Europa. Det tyske markedet, som i 2004 stod for 32 prosent av konsernets omsetning, viser en svak økonomisk utvikling, skriver selskapet i en melding.

Omstillingen tregere enn ventet

 

Datalagringsselskapet Tandberg Data og Gudmundur Einarsson er inne i en omstillingsperiode. Denne har gått tregere enn ventet, viser siste kvartalsrapport.

 

Tandberg Data har tidligere vært ute med et resultatvarsel for første kvartal. I en rapport tirsdag bekreftes den svake utviklingen selskapet er inne i.

 

Resultat før skatt falt til minus 1,1 millioner dollar av en omsetning på 23,6 millioner dollar i første kvartal. I samme kvartal i fjor var resultat før skatt på 2 millioner dollar av en omsetning på 28,6 millioner dollar.

 

- Omsetningen var noe svakere enn ventet , og skyldes forsinkelsen i lanseringen av LTO 2 produktet som ble lansert i slutten av kvartalet, skriver Tandberg Data i en melding.

 

Tandberg Data har i lengre tid jobbet med en omstilling av sine lagringsprodukter til nye standarder. Tidligere satset selskapet kun på sin egenutviklede SLR-standard. Denne strategien var imidlertid ikke overlevbar.

 

- Nedgangen er hovedsakelig i Europa og utgjør 2,4 millioner dollar som hovedsakelig skyldes et lavere salg av båndstasjoner. Det tyske markedet , som i 2004 stod for 32 prosent av konsernets omsetning, viser en svak økonomisk utvikling. Salget av PC servere har falt og dette har en negativ påvirkning på salget av båndstasjoner. I tillegg er markedet i Europa preget av sterkere konkurranse fra andre leverandører av DLT produkter. Salget i USA viser en nedgang på 0,5 millioner som skyldes et lavere salg av båndstasjoner. Japan og Asia er på samme nivå som forrige kvartal, heter det i meldingen fra Tandberg Data.

 

Kontantstrømmen fra operasjonelle aktiviteter var negat iv med 1,3 millioner dollar som i hovedsak skyldes det negative resultatet og en økning i varelager.

 

- Tandberg Data er, som t idligere nevnt , inne i en omst illingsperiode med reposisjonering av teknologiplattformer og produktportefølje. Denne prosessen vil fortsette for fullt i andre kvartal. Opptrappingen av produksjonsvolumene har gått noe tregere enn planlagt og har dermed forsinket veksten for de nye produktene, heter det i meldingen fra selskapet.

 

Tandberg Data-styret venter at veksten igjen forbedrer seg i andre halvår.

Sun Micro to buy StorageTek for $4.1B

By Rex Crum, MarketWatch

Last Update: 1:13 PM ET June 2, 2005

....

Bachman added that he expects StorageTek's current partners who compete with Sun will likely end their distribution deals with the company. Just last month, Hewlett-Packard expanded its distribution agreement to sell more of StorageTek's tape products, which are among its fastest-selling products.

.....

On a conference call, Sun Chief Executive Officer Scott McNealy said the deal "takes us to a whole new level" of storage technology, with more than 1,000 data-storage salespeople joining Sun. McNealy added that the move puts Sun in a position to take on more of an estimated $65 billion worldwide market for storage technology.

Fortsatt tøft for Tandberg Data

Tandberg Data fortsetter å oppleve sterk konkurranse, viser gjennomgangen av kvartalstallene fra Gudmundur Einarsson & Co.

 

 

Tandberg Data var ute med en foreløpig resultatrapport for andre kvartal fredag. Den endelige rapporten er ute senere.

 

Omsetningen til Tandberg Data fortsetter å rammes av sterk konkurranse og teknologiskifte. I kvartalsmeldingen heter det at særlig det tyske markedet er hardt rammet.

 

Omsetningen til Tandberg Data i andre kvartal var på 23,9 millioner dollar med en bruttomargin på 26,4 prosent.

 

Teknologiskiftet innebærer at LTO-teknologien fortsetter å vinne markedsandeler, innenfor båndstasjonsmarkedet. Tandberg Datas egenutviklede SLR-teknologi taper andeler raskt, med en andel av omsetningen nå på 35 prosent.

 

Det heter videre i meldingen at det ventes leveringer til IBM og Dell av den nye teknologi i løpet av neste kvartal.

Har lastet opp så det holder i TAD nå.

Etter Q2 presentasjon samt annen tilgjengelig info deler jeg Fleicher's og andres

syn på at denne har mye å gå på fremover.

Noen snakker om 3 dobling, men for min del holder det lenge med en dobling, dvs. til kr. 17 innen utgangen av Q4.

Dere som følger TAD har allerede innsett at potensialet er enormt dersom de store

IT leverandørene satser på TAD sin teknologi i sine systemer. ;)

[nazze]

Håper folk kjenner sin 'besøkelsestid', og har benyttet dagen til å få TAD inn i portefølgen. Det virker som det er en del folk her på forumet har lagt sin 'elsk' på enkelte selskaper uten evne til å ta et steg tilbake for å vudere alternativene.

Slik tankegang gir ikke høy nok fortjeneste til å leve godt av akjehandel.

 

Ellers virker det som mange av de ivrigste her på forumet har stor glede av å kopiere 'gamle' nyheter istedenfor å komme med egne tanker og anbefalinger.

 

La aktørene på HO holde på med synsingen sin, vi som tjener penger i markedet har lært oss å sile informasjonen for lenge siden.

[Ariez]

Tok TAD inn tidlig i denne uken og er storfornøyd! Skulle ta litt gevinstsikring i dag, men rakk ikke toppen så da ventet jeg heller.

Må innrømme at jeg har noen selskaper jeg har lagt litt elsk på, men det har som regel vert det rette akkurat da. Nedoverbakke i usa for øyeblikket da. Så ser ikke helt bra ut kortsiktig. Så da blir jeg vel sittende over helga i alle fall :)

Tandberg Data Half-Height LTO-2 Tape Drive Selected by Systemax for Server Solutions

POWAY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 11, 2005--Tandberg Data Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Tandberg Data ASA (OSE:TAD), and Systemax Inc. (NYSE:SYX), a direct marketer of brand-name and private-label products, announced today that Systemax is integrating the Tandberg 420LTO half-height LTO-2 tape drives into its Entry Level System (ELS), Small Office (SO) and AMD Opteron series of servers.

 

 

Systemax targets mid-range and major corporate accounts as well as small office/home office (SOHO) markets for its server products. The company determined it would offer tape backup as a standard option because many of their customers were looking for complete server/backup solutions to protect mission-critical data and to meet state and federal regulations regarding data protection and retention.

 

"We evaluated several companies and selected Tandberg Data as our tape partner," stated Skip Murray, OEM server marketing manager of Systemax. "We wanted LTO tape technology because of its flexibility, performance and reliability, and Tandberg Data is one of the few companies licensed to sell the technology. They became very involved during the qualification process and offered the product we wanted at a good price. Tandberg's excellent service and support and their over 25 years designing and manufacturing tape-based backup solutions influenced our final decision to choose their product."

 

According to Murray, another factor in choosing Tandberg Data was the location of the drive's mounting holes. "The 420LTO had holes in the right locations to fit our servers, which made them easy to mount. Competitive units required extra work and the fit wasn't as good. As is so often the case, it's all in the details," he noted.

 

"Systemax has a strong presence in North America and Europe," said Ken Cruden, Tandberg Data COO. "Their excellent line of products, combined with a growing distribution network, will help us reach new users. I'm especially proud they selected Tandberg Data as their tape drive partner for their server division."

 

The Tandberg 420LTO is the industry's most compact half-height LTO Ultrium 2 tape drive. It backs up 200GB (native capacity) at an extremely fast 24MB/s (native) inside a space-saving 5.25-inch half-height design. It also features the best cost-per-gigabyte ratio and lowest power consumption of any LTO Ultrium format drive on the market.

 

Tandberg's half-height LTO-2 drive is the first generation of Tandberg Data's planned five-generation roadmap of low-cost half-height LTO technology offering users backward compatibility and scalability to the Tandberg StorageLoader LTO2 autoloader that features 3.2 terabytes compressed capacity in a sleek 1U form factor. It is targeted at the SMB market segment where data protection requirements continue to grow exponentially.
