NEW DELHI, INDIA: Imation India, a wholly owned subsidiary of Imation Corp, a global developer and marketer of branded offerings, has been offering a 'terabyte-class' transport and storage case designed specifically to protect a company's high-capacity data storage tapes during transportation.

According to Sandeep Popli, head – Sales and Marketing, Imation, "As data storage tape cartridges move to capacities that will soon reach a full terabyte-and beyond-of corporate data on a single tape cartridge, the potential impact of a lost, stolen or damaged cartridge is magnified."
