Sun StorageTek VolSafe Secure Media Technology

Features and Benefits

VolSafe helps to dramatically lower IT total storage cost and reduces the storage management burden – all while delivering 24 x 7 secure data storage. Now that’s innovation that equals value.


Key Benefits

  • Assists with regulatory compliance and helps to reduce the risk of serious financial ramifications
  • Delivers unprecedented ability to write WORM data without the requirement to purchase additional equipment
  • Designed to deliver constant secure data storage and access

Permanently write-protect data easily

No changes allowed

Once data is written to tape, it can be read as often as necessary but it cannot be changed, modified or deleted.

Media Management

For current Sun StorageTek enterprise tape library customers, VolSafe requires no additional hardware, staff or special operating procedures. Since all the Sun StorageTek T-Series™ tape drives are VolSafe technology capable, only VolSafe media cartridges need to be purchased and additional media is not required. This reduces total cost of ownership.

User access

The automated VolSafe solution provides easy and fast data access.

Asset utilization

VolSafe media can be managed in a library concurrently with non-VolSafe media and even non-T10000, 9840 or 9940 media.
