The host and tape interface speed has increased on both--320 Mb/second on SCSI and 4 Gbit/second on Fibre channel. Encrypted throughput has also increased to 300 MB/second.

Providing complete security for backup tapes, the Q3e appliance is designed to be easy to use and non-intrusive. Installation takes only minutes, and key management is strong yet simple.
