Virtual Tape Data Recorder

Revolutionary Data Recorder Device Delivers Unrivaled Reliability for Seismic and Other Real-Time Applications - Solutions for Oil and Gas Industry
The ultra-reliable Mirage Data Recorder (MDR) is designed for real-time data acquisition in mission critical operations such as seismic where repeating the test is either impossible or cost prohibitive. The device was field tested by a major oilfield service company before being released for general industry use.

Traditional tape solutions are subject to dirt and grime in the field that can disrupt tape drives, and environmental conditions can corrupt the tape medium. As a result, the data itself may be corrupted or not even recorded. The Mirage Data Recorder eliminates these problems by replacing tape drives and cartridges with two high performance disk drives in removable canisters.

The built-in RAID 1 configuration provides redundancy to ensure recording continues if one of the drives fails. And, once data is acquired, automatic write protection prevents accidental data erasure. For extra protection, the identical tape volumes stored on transportable hard drives allow one to be taken to the base camp for processing or archiving to conventional tape cartridges and the other to be kept as a backup.
