Massive growth in data volume has triggered the need for more efficient and higher capacity backup mediums. Data retention laws and industry regulations also have become more strict and rigorous.

HP LTO tape products are intelligently engineered to serve the demands of improved reliability and long term protection at lowest cost per GB. Open standard of LTO format widens the users’ choice in terms of capacity, reliability, scalability and form factor.

HP 1840 full height drive records up to 800 GB, while offering the AES 256-bit encryption functionality to assure robust data security and unmatched compatibility that is required by the corporate customers. HP 1840 drive represents the 4th generation of LTO ultrium.

LTO-4 tape format is the first LTO generation that offers both encryption and WORM technologies. Rigorous media qualification process allows the HP LTO-4 tape cartridges to perform brilliantly with all the non-HP and HP tape libraries and drives. HP LTO-4 tape cartridge features the capacity to record 1.6 TB data in compressed mode. HP LTO-4 products are indeed the ultimate backup solution ...
... for public organizations, remote offices, video archiving, government agencies, departmental servers and workstations.

HP 1840 drive enables the customers to carry out read & write operations on LTO4 and LTO3 cartridges. You can only read the information from LTO 2 tapes and cannot record data on them. Therefore with one tape drive, you have the luxury to operate with three versions of LTO backup tapes.

AES encryption feature assures reliable protection to your most sensitive information and prohibit all unauthorized and malicious data access. This data encryption process is completed without degrading the overall efficiency and performance of backup system. HP 1840 ultrium have the capability to reliably transfer the information at a blistering rate of 120 Mbps (native). Addition of WORM functionality assists the business enterprises to satisfy the toughest compliance regulations at a reasonable price. HP 1840 drive assures superior integrity at 2:1 compression ratio.

Data rate matching (DRM) is a new intelligent technology designed by HP that assures increased efficiency by matching the tape speed and host’s data rate to keep the drive streaming. This smart feature enables the HP 1840 ultrium drive to deliver unprecedented performance in all data rich environments. Data rate matching system allows the drive to vary its speed from 40 Mbps to 120 Mbps.

Massive 800 GB capacity will allow the users to accommodate huge volumes of mission critical data on fewer LTO-4 tapes, thus increasing the company’s ROI and reducing the costs of backup system.
