Case Study: Data Protection Solutions Arco


Data Protection Solutions Arco

DPS-Arco is a leader in the development and manufacture of affordable and easy to use disk mirroring, drive copier and drive to drive backup solutions. With hard drive capacity growing into the hundreds of gigabytes, traditional backup media, such as Zip, CD and DVD disks and even tape can no longer offer a convenient or efficient method for protecting large data files.

Increasingly, computer users are turning to a second hard drive to provide the backup storage space they need. Data Protection Solutions by Arco (DPS) has over fifteen years of product development experience and has matured from delivering "one-off products" to the current line of products. These products have unique patents and patent pending applications, such as Duplidisk3 (dd3) and Duplidisk4 (dd4) technology, which is the foundation for all of our disk mirroring and disk-to-disk data protection solutions. The DD3 and DD4 patents bear witness to the inventive thinking that has brought our company to new heights.

The principals of Data Protection Solutions by Arco (DPS) are the backbone of our success. Collectively, representing over 40 years of experience in the technology industry. DPS-Arco products are all hardware RAID based. This means there is no impact on system performance. Unlike software RAID which uses the host processor for RAID functions--and slows overall performance considerably, our hardware RAID devices plug directly into the ATA bus of the host computer. The advantages include: requires no drivers, IRQ's, TSRs or SysTray resources; hardware and OS independent, DupliDisk technology is completely transparent to the host system, provides a constant mirror of all data and provide automatic fail-over, and Constant Disk Mirroring.
