Sun StorageTek T10000B provides superior levels of enterprise tape
storage performance with 120 MB/sec native transfer rate.
"Being able to bring continued advances to our high capacity,
reliable enterprise-class storage solutions is critically important
to our customers who are managing exploding volumes of increasingly
valuable data," said Jon Benson, Senior Vice President, Storage,
Sun Microsystems, Inc. "By working closely with other world-class
technology providers such as the tape engineers at Fujifilm, our
new one terabyte drive is bringing the next generation to market
today."

thin-film coating expertise, building on the advances of Fujifilm
NANOCUBIC technology. Fujifilm is the only company to deliver
NANOCUBIC-based storage media for data centers demanding a reliable

these mission-critical data center back up solutions based on our
NANOCUBIC technology," noted Peter Faulhaber, Senior Vice
President, Sales and Marketing, Fujifilm Recording Media U.S.A.,
