The use of tape drives as died down a bit in recent years and this is because of the shift of most industries to the area of CDs and DVDs as a form of archiving their collected data. But some of these tape drives do not solely focus on data backups but data gathering as well. We see the new use of scanning devices to serve as verifiable forms of interface, something that aids database administrators and developers as well.

With that in mind, Imation unveils a new secure scan, a first tape scanning product that cannot be read or written to by any LTO drive. This helps a lot in making sure that the data and information stored are secure. As we all know, data collected from such means help in providing reports and graphs critical towards the evaluation of product performance.

Using Imation’s proven patent-pending algorithm based on years of scanning experience, customers can now pinpoint real problems with very high accuracy, reducing the risk of false positives or negatives. Included in the Imation Secure Scan product package are:

• Carrying case
• USB cable
• Software-install CD
• Perpetual software license for scan feature
• One year license for lock/unlock and “phone-home” feature

The Imation Secure Scan product is now available at all Imation distributors and retailers for $3,999.99.
