(OEMs), value-added resellers (VARs), tape library makers, and
independent software vendors (ISVs) achieve connectivity and
compatibility with DLTtape systems and DLTtape libraries.
Our connectivity and compatibility support generally falls into the
following categories:
•
Platform Qualification Program and Web-based Platform
Connectivity Matrix.
•
Software Compatibility Program and Web-based Software
Compatibility Matrix.
•
Web-based Platform Solutions Guide and Application Notes.
•
Web-based Matrix Of Software Compatible with DLTtape
Libraries.
Our web-based Platform Connectivity Matrix, Software
Compatibility Matrix, application notes, and Platform Solutions
Guide are available at www.quantum.com or www.DLTtape.com.
The Platform Connectivity Matrix contains information on plat-
form type (which operating system is used), hardware used to test
connectivity, operating system revision, which DLTtape drives are
supported, and comments about the level of support provided.
Our Software Compatibility Matrix lists backup/archive, hierarchi-
cal storage management (HSM), and data interchange products
which currently support or claim support for DLTtape drives. The
listing is organized by company, product type, product name, cur-
rent revision, platform, and current level of support.
The Platform Solutions Guide is a comprehensive collection of infor-
mation on servers and desktop systems, and includes descriptions of
native and ISV backup software applications that have been qualified
and found to support DLTtape drives on each specific hardware plat-
