''This is the first of many announcements in which Seagate Software and StorageTek plan to collaborate to deliver powerful storage solutions for the dynamic needs of the enterprise.''
After passing rigorous tests and demonstrating superior/unparalleled performance, the StorageTek 9840 and Seagate Backup Exec have been certified by Seagate Software.

StorageTek 9840
StorageTek's 9840 tape drive spans the enterprise from MVS to UNIX to Windows NT. The 9840 was engineered to provide a never-before-achieved combination of high performance, fast data access, high capacity and reliability with widely scalable automation. Businesses benefit from quick access to stored information, completing back-up and restore operations in a shorter timeframe, and improved use of access-intensive applications, such as data warehousing, medical imaging, digital media management and scientific computing. Also, customers' storage investments are protected with support of mixed media libraries through concurrent integration of the 9840 with one or more drive types (including DLT and possible future technologies) provided by StorageTek. The average random search completes in 8 seconds. The native 20GB cartridge capacity can be significantly extended by StorageTek's enhanced LZ-1 compression technology (4:1 compression is typical).
Seagate Backup Exec for Windows NT
Seagate Software has further enhanced the reliability, performance and ease-of-use of Seagate Backup Exec for Windows NT with a range of integrated new features, including Working Set Backup, virus protection, centralized monitoring and extended language support. Working Set Backup protects and backs up just the ''working set'' of data, to reduce downtime and quickly restore files. Built-in virus protection detects and cleans infected files prior to backup, ensuring only clean data is written to media. The monitoring console offers centralized backup monitoring, allowing administrators to monitor their complete enterprise from anywhere on the network. Based on Microsoft's COM architecture, Seagate Backup Exec for Windows NT also offers other market-leading features including Advanced Device and Media Management (ADAMM), wizards, performance enhancements and Intelligent Disaster Recovery.
