ROSLYN, NEW YORK, April 8, 1992 - - - Cheyenne Software, Inc. (AMEX:CYE) announced today that optional Changer and Stacker software modules, for ARCserve v4.0. a fully automated data management solution, will be available in April 1992 at a retail cost of $1,195.00 and $695.00, respectively. ARCserve's optional changer and stacker tape driver modules will support many of the industry's leading changer and stacker devices, and coupled with these devices, will provide fully automated, high capacity NetWare data storage management. CHANGER TECHNOLOGY A tape changer is a device containing multiple tape cassettes (media), a tape drive and a mechanism for automatically loading or unloading any tape in the drive. The random nature of the device makes any tape accessible at any time through software alone. The benefits associated with ARCserve's ability to support a changer includes an increase in tape data storage capacity, as well as a substantial reduction in tape handling for the operator. For example, when restoring, ARCserve will select the proper tape in the magazine, put it into the tape drive and start the operation automatically. STACKER TECHNOLOGY A tape stacker is a device capable of housing multiple tape cassettes. It can access them sequentially, allowing automatic spanning from one tap to the next without operator intervention. When the first tap is full, the next in line can be loaded continuing the tap operation. Used in conjunction with Cheyenne's optional stacker tap drive module for ARCserve v4.0, a stacker device minimizes tap handling. It is no longer necessary for an operator to be present if a backup operation requires a second tape to complete a job. The stacker will automatically remove the tape currently in the drive and insert the next sequentially available tap in the magazine. ARCserve's backup and restore operations are seamless to the user when using a changer or stacker device. Given the proper taps in the magazine, ARCserve will locate the next available tap for backup operations or the appropriate tape for file restoration.
