Introduction  

The Imation DataGuard rf™ Scan Station uses the latest RFID technology to track the 
movement of cartridges in and out of a data center, off-site facility, or DR location.  The 
Scan Station reads RFID-enabled cartridges, either individually or within a transport case, 
as they arrive and exit a location.  The DataGuard rf™ Tape Tracking System automatically 
logs each cartridge transaction into a tracking database that is linked to the customer’s tape 
management system.  This solution efficiently accounts for the location of all data cartridges 
and provides both reporting and audit capabilities.
