Backup storage and data protection challenges have become intensified over the past decade. The rapid increase in data retention regulations, need for fast access to the mission-critical data, rush to E-business and greater risk of data loss have forced all types of companies to integrate a reliable ongoing backup system into their data centers. IT managers can address all of these with LTO (Linear tape open) format that provides efficient and economical disaster-recovery solutions to a variety of organizations. LTO ultrium technology’s five generations offer a smart solution for every small to large enterprise.

LTO format’s open standard has resulted in multiple suppliers of LTO products, thus providing customers a wider range of low-priced, superior quality and robust LTO devices. HP Hewlett-Packard manufactures its backup devices to the highest level of durability, while ensuring compliance with the industry specifications & standards.

HP LTO5 brings in new advanced features, while providing the intelligent technologies of previous LTO ultrium tape versions. Capacity of LTO ultrium5 extends to 3 terabytes ...
... with compressed data, and in native mode it can accommodate 1.5 TB data. The capacity of HP LTO5 ultrium cartridge is 88% higher; therefore you will need significantly lesser tapes as compared to the LTO4 media tape for your back needs.

LTO ultrium technology provides you an open platform, where LTO tapes can be used with all other compliant LTO hardware. That means the customers won’t have to purchase the same brand of LTO drive to operate the LTO ultrium tape. That is why the LTO ultrium technology has established itself as the best economical solution for today’s budget-constrained and demanding organizations.

LTO5 media technology has been specified to support the tape cartridges of previous two generations. Read and write operations can be performed on LTO4 tapes, whereas recorded data can be reliably extracted from LTO ultrium3 media tapes as well. As a result, a smooth path is provided to the LTO4 and LTO3 customers. So the organizations can confidently upgrade their LTO system and address the ever-increasing backup demands.

The data throughput speed has been increased from 120 Mbps to 140 Mbps (native), thus making LTO ultrium5 the ideal tape media solution for media-rich applications, medium sized organizations, management information systems, high end workstations, mission critical IT environments and enterprise class applications. In addition to the rapid increase in recording capacity and data throughput rate, new breakthrough media partitioning system has been introduced to help ease data storage/retrieval tasks and boost the backup performance. This intelligent feature helps cut the operational costs, save more time, while improving the data management. HP LTO ultrium5 solution also offers the previous LTO4 media generation’s encryption and WORM technology. This powerful blend of robust data protection technologies ensures satisfaction of strict data legislations, while protecting against unauthorized data access, accidental over-writes and malicious data corruption.

HP LTO ultrium5 technology provides I.T managers greater flexibility in implementing a highly reliable and efficient backup system for your data-rich organizations.
