IBM LTO-5 Tape Storage
Save Space. Store more in less space by consolidating nearly four LTO 3 cartridges in one LTO 5 cartridge and address cost control objectives
Save Time. Higher operation efficiency by enhancing data management and access while reducing backup and restore times up to 55% when compared to generation 3.
Save Energy. Save up to 48% on power consumption
Convert to the 5th Generation of LTO technology
2010 is a year of new challenges to the storage industry: from new legislations and regulatory requirements for stored data required to be lasting, affordable and reliable solutions; to large file data exchange needs where solutions must be easy to use, be durable, have an open standard, set up for long term and be a green solution.
The IBM 5th generation of Linear Tape-Open™ technology is designed to provide higher capacity with new capabilities.
So, why convert to the 5th Generation of LTO?
- Consolidation: Reduce the number of cartridges and save space for your back ups with the new LTO 5 cartridges that offer 88% greater capacity than the previous generation.
- Energy Efficient: The IBM LTO 5 drive will have the most dramatic power savings than any other previous generation.
- Improved Performance: Faster throughput drives, expanded speed matching, and increased data buffer size are some of the features that provide a more powerful, capable, back up solution. IBM LTO technology is designed to improve overall performance and extends cartridge life.
- Security: The IBM LTO 5 drive helps address compliance requirements with its continued WORM and Encryption capability.
- Media partitioning capability: Two media partitions on LTO 5 cartridge to allow faster data access.
- Outstanding investment protection: LTO standards-compatibility helps offer long-term tape infrastructure investment protection. Provides the capability to Read/Write Ultrium 4 and read Ultrium 3 cartridges.
IBM LTO 5th Generation offerings include:
