| Ultera announces Mirage Data Recorder  Ultera Systems announced new Mirage Data Recorder for the oil and gas industry. The MDR is designed for real-time data acquisition in mission critical operations such as seismic where repeating the test is either impossible or cost prohibitive. With traditional tape solutions, dirt and grime in the field can disrupt tape drives, and environmental conditions can corrupt the tape medium. As a result, the data itself may be corrupted or not even recorded. Ultera's Mirage Data Recorder eliminates these problems by replacing tape drives and cartridges with two high performance disk drives in removable canisters.The RAID 1 configuration provides built-in redundancy to ensure recording continues if one of the drives fails. And, once data is acquired, automatic write protection prevents accidental data erasure. For extra protection, the identical tape volumes stored on transportable hard drives allow one to be taken to the base camp for processing or archiving to conventional tape cartridges and the other to be kept as a backup. The high-volume disks also permit companies to store more data on a single volume: a single MDR disk is equivalent to up to 70 tape cartridges. Each drive can be configured to accept 10 to 70 IBM 3590 tapes, or up to 7 LTO-format tape cartridges. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
