Perm-A-Store Announces Terabyte Level Protection with new TERA Turtle

Golden Valley, Minnesota – September 1, 2007

The world leader in cases for the transport and storage of data media, Perm-A-Store, is proud to announce the development of an enhanced impact protection Turtle case.  The TERA Turtle, so named for its advanced design, will deliver added protection for today’s very high capacity tape cartridges.  The TERA Turtle offers the following advantages: 

• Superior impact protection for the highest density tape cartridges.
• Debris free design which protects media from contaminants.
• Versatility for secure storage of multiple formats (LTO, SuperDLT, T10000, 3592, 9840/9940) in a single case.
• Insulation against temperature and humidity extremes.
• Waterproof design, especially important for geo-seismic applications.
• Pad Lockable for security.
• RFID compatible.
• As with all Turtle cases, made in the U.S.A.

“We’ve worked with the world’s foremost data experts in achieving a design that previously was unattainable” stated Ken Schneider, CEO of Perm-A-Store. “In particular, the challenge has been to incorporate the impact protection of foam without the risk of introducing contaminants associated with foam.  Until now this had been unachievable.  With the TERA Turtle design we’re able to provide the very highest level of protection available against the key threats to data: damage from impact, debris and temperature and humidity extremes.”

Alan O’Regan, V.P. of Sales and Marketing at Perm-A-Store noted “While we’re proud of our position as the number one brand of protective containers for the transport and storage of data products, we’re continually working to improve our products.  We are confident that customers will recognize the increased level of protection and versatility that TERA Turtle will provide.”

The TERA Turtle from Perm-A-Store will be available for commercial use in early 2008.
