“The 1TB RDX cartridge, used in conjunction with Tandberg Data’s powerful backup and deduplication software, AccuGuard, with a typical 20:1 deduplication ratio, allows users to back up 20TB of raw data on a single pocket-size cartridge,” said Marije Stijnen, vice president of marketing for Tandberg Data.

The 1TB RDX QuikStor cartridge will be available in August 2010 through Tandberg Data’s established channel of distributor and reseller partners.
