RDXbased

RDXbased is a term that refers to a system, process, or product that utilizes or is fundamentally structured around RDX technology. RDX, which stands for Removable Disk Exchange, is a cartridge-based magnetic tape backup technology developed by Tandberg Data, now part of ExaGrid. RDX technology combines the reliability and affordability of tape with the speed and ease of use of disk.

Systems or solutions described as RDXbased typically employ RDX cartridges for data storage, archiving, or backup. These cartridges are designed to be removable, allowing users to easily swap them out for offsite storage, disaster recovery purposes, or to create multiple backup copies. The RDX technology itself is known for its robustness, with cartridges designed to withstand drops and environmental conditions, making them suitable for rugged environments.

The primary advantage of RDXbased solutions lies in their cost-effectiveness and reliability for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprise environments. They offer a predictable cost of ownership, as the hardware is a one-time purchase and the RDX cartridges are consumable but relatively inexpensive. The technology provides a straightforward method for data protection, allowing for quick restores and easy management of backup media. Therefore, RDXbased can describe anything from backup appliances that use RDX drives to software that is specifically designed to work with RDX cartridges for backup and archival.
