Features
Store lots of data for the long haul
Simplify data backup and archive by easily integrating the LTO
family of tape drives into your data center. With up to 12TB of
native capacity on a single cartridge, LTO drives provide decades
of shelf life for industries and tasks that need reliable,
long-term, large-capacity data retention, such as:
Healthcare imaging
Media and entertainment
Video surveillance
Geophysical (oil and gas) data
Computational analysis, such as genome mapping and event simulations
Lower your long-term storage TCO and environmental impact
In addition to a lower acquisition cost per gigabyte, LTO tape
drives lower your energy consumption and costs because power is
used only when data is written to or read from the tape media. For
infrequently accessed data, tape remains one of the most economical
and environmentally friendly storage technologies available.
Tape storage also gives you room to grow. Its lower power
consumption makes it an ideal part of a cloud physical
infrastructure build-out. Linear Tape File System (LTFS) support
removes software incompatibilities, creating portability between
different vendors and operating systems to extend the life of your
infrastructure investments.
Safeguard your data and meet regulatory compliance
LTO tape drives deliver peace of mind that your data is securely
stored and in regulatory compliance against problems like hardware
failure, natural disasters, theft or cyber threats.
AES 256-bit hardware encryption helps prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data, reducing the risk of data loss or corruption due to virus or sabotage and protecting data privacy during media transport.
An LED encryption indicator visually confirms when data is being encrypted or when an encrypted cartridge is mounted.
Write-once, read-many (WORM) media ensures that once data has been written, it cannot be altered.
Key benefits include:
Up to 12TB native capacity per cartridge
Up to 300MB/s native transfer rate per half-height drive (1080GB/hr); Up to 360MB/s native transfer rate per full-height drive (1296GB/hr)
Device-level AES-256 hardware encryption
LTFS-capable
