The modules include the best features of current DLTtape tech-
nology design and the breakthrough technologies that allow the
Super DLTtape system to achieve its exceptional performance. Each
module is optimized to perform a specific set of functions and is
designed to interface with the other modules in a prescribed man-
ner. (See Figure 17-8.) Customers reap important economic bene-
fits from the Super DLTtape system's modular design, such as
decreased time-to-market and manufacture, and improved support
and services.
Managing Technology Risk
We are introducing the new Super DLTtape technologies within a
proven technology framework, minimizing technology risk. Within
that framework, we have developed a clean, no-compromise archi-
tecture that provides enormous technology headroom across multi-
ple product generations. Thus, Super DLTtape technology provides
the basis for both dramatic short-term increases in speed and
capacity, and for long-term advances that enable the continued
