Data protection has become a hot topic for the past decade. The companies are adopting new economical storage solutions for the preservation of the data. The companies not only have to secure their valuable data, but they also have to make this data available to the customers, government agencies, litigators etc.

There are various storage technologies that deliver excellent performance, but the enterprises' prime choice has been the linear tape open (LTO) storage medium. The latest version of this format is LTO 5 tape. LTO5 tape reliably handles the pressure of higher data volumes at a faster speed and superior accuracy. LTO 5 tape storage devices are best suited for busy data centers, small and medium businesses, networks servers, departmental and remote office backups.

IBM, a leading developer of efficient data storage devices, has developed new generation TS2350 LTO-5 drive. This newly designed IBM LTO-5 tape drive delivers unmatched data throughput at an affordable price. IBM has included innovative features to the TS2350 LTO-5 drive that has enhanced its cost effectiveness. These new innovative features ...
