DC Analyser:
Data Cartridge Diagnostic Tool
The Fujifilm DC Analyser, with its RF and bar code reader, unlocks key information hidden inside every LTO cartridge memory chip. Information includes error codes, remaining capacity, total cartridge writes, reads, loads, and age. The custom software package developed by Fujifilm provides access to this diagnostic information, with easy-to-read graphs that allow data managers to measure cartridge and drive health. The software will even recommend solutions to problems and allow users to create a custom policy that grades every cartridge. The DC Analyser removes the guesswork and quickly locates the source of issues without the need to access a drive, call in outside technicians, or send sensitive data out to a third party for evaluation.

Tape Environment Analysis
The Tape Environmental Analysis is a detailed assessment of your current data tape backup environment. This comprehensive report includes recommendations to maximize existing resources, avoid unnecessary expenditures, and ensure compliance requirements are met by reducing potential for data loss.

Data Tape Carousel
Make the most of your data center space with this innovative rack, built exclusively for Fujifilm by Russ Bassett. The carousel rack rotates 360 degrees and can be configured to hold a maximum of 768 cartridges in a compact 28-by-28-inch footprint. With its recessed wheels and small footprint, this rack can fit and be moved practically anywhere. It is available in LTO, DLT®, SDLT® and 1/2-inch as well as enterprise cartridge configurations.

Data Cartridge Destruction
Say good-bye to old data. The PD-8700F data cartridge destruction device is the only all-in-one degausser and destruction device available. This unit is built exclusively for Fujifilm by Garner Products and can handle both data tapes and hard disks. In just 2.5 minutes the device degausses the media twice and punches four holes that ensure permanent erasure and destruction of media.
