3K Peripherals Africa (Pty) Ltd is a provider of DLT, SDLT, DAT, AIT, S-AIT and LTO repair and sales, of all the brands found in SA today, also degaussing of tape media.
There is considerable demand for third-party support for tape drive repairs in SA.
Having a fully equipped repair, maintenance and support centre in SA means users save on shipping cost, rental of loan units and downtime - factors most companies can ill afford.
We are proud of the world-class facility we have locally, and we take pride in the fact that our engineers are certified and recognised by industry leaders such as HP/Compaq, IBM, Quantum, Dell and Tandberg Data, etc. Having been based in Johannesburg and now in KwaZulu-Natal, we are able to have a turnaround time of 24 hours.
Degaussing of media will be done at a reduced rate as well.
Degaussing, also known as bulk tape erasing, removes all magnetic patterns leaving media in optimum condition for recording.
The degaussing process ensures the user that their next recording will be at its best.
An alternating current (AC) bulk eraser (degausser) is used for complete erasure of data and other signals on magnetic media. Degaussing is a process where magnetic media is exposed to a powerful, alternating magnetic field. Degaussing removes any previously written data, leaving the media in a magnetically randomised (blank) state.
Degaussing tapes:
* Increases data security.
* Achieves better recordings.
* Eliminates computer viruses.
* Saves money by recycling or reusing media.
* Prevents previous recordings from being seen or heard.
"Most of our customers are fast-tracking their technology and being able to erase cartridges back to a virtually brand new status which saves money for other media investments," says Kevin Pather, Director at 3K Peripherals.
