About Ulysses Technology:
When initially announced in October 2005, Imation's Ulysses technology became the world's first disk-enhanced removable media cartridge. Developed with the data storage needs of enterprise users in mind, Imation's Ulysses technology is a SATA 2.5-inch disk drive in an industry-standard tape cartridge. Used with a tape drive emulator, this disk-enhanced removable media accelerates backup and restore performance and resides within a tape library. The disk-to-disk solution fits in any standard tape drive bay and is recognized by the host, backup software and storage management software as a standard tape drive.
Imation's Ulysses technology provides the benefits of both tape and disk, delivering the performance of hard disk while allowing the enterprise user to leverage their investment in their existing tape library infrastructure. A high-capacity product, the Ulysses technology is removable and portable, and offers a data storage solution that users can afford - addressing the needs of users looking for a disk-to-disk-to-tape solution to improve restore time without having to adopt a complex new system or invest in hardware or software modifications. Imation's Ulysses technology recently passed stringent environmental tests by Sercel, a major seismic acquisition company, and is now generally available.
