Tandberg Data Extends DLTtape Manufacturing
Tandberg Data ASA’s production facilities in Oslo, Norway have begun manufacturing Super DLTtape drives. Under license from Quantum Corp., Tandberg Data will act as a supplier of Quantum DLT tape drives and SuperDLT tape drives. Tandberg Data has manufactured branded DLTtape tape drives since September of 1999.
"Through our relationship with Quantum and our expertise in manufacturing earlier-generation DLT tape drives, we have been able to quickly establish and fully qualify our manufacturing facility and meet the strict requirements for manufacturing highly reliable, high-capacity Super DLTtape products," said Gudmundur Einarsson, CEO at Tandberg Data. "DLTtape is the leading tape technology in the mid-range market segment, and our customers have indicated a strong demand for this product."
