Today’s data centers have become multi-functional. They face a series of new challenges like fast data growth, intense competition, time-critical applications and of course, the data retention laws (SEC, HIPAA etc.). Creating data backups provides you complete peace of mind and ensures business continuity. Therefore, data corruption or even complete loss of business-critical information won’t cause any interruptions, as you can utilize the backup data. Organizations that need to store, manage and share large volumes of data turn to the firmly-established LTO (Linear Tape Open) technology’s newest generation, known as LTO ultrium 5. Multi-vendor compatibility is the most compelling feature of LTO solution that makes it more cost-efficient and also the frontline technology in tape industry.

HP Hewlett-Packards has decades of experience in backup storage industry and is also co-inventor of this intelligent LTO format. HP LTO5 system satisfies the backup requirements for large-scale data centers, mid-sized companies, video applications, complex workgroups, large databases and advanced E-business applications. LTO5 tape, ...
... featuring the same physical size of LTO4 backup tape, can squeeze almost double the data volume. LTO5 ultrium tape stores 1500GB data, which is equivalent to 1.50 terabytes. Data compression will further provide a 100% increment, thus enhancing it to 3.0 terabytes. So, lesser quantity of these high-capacity LTO5 tapes will backup your enormous databases, and will save you more shelf space.

LTO5 ultrium solution supports the demanding needs of busy IT environments, and offers new breakthrough LTFS (Linear Tape File System) that makes data management more efficient, flexible and easy like using a USB flash drive. I.T staff can copy/paste data from the host system or just drag-drop them. Never before, the backup operations with tape-based systems were so flexible and easy. LTFS innovation enables LTO-5 customers to manage the media-rich applications including CAD/CAM, video surveillance and Health industry. This exclusive feature has made LTO-5 an industry-favorite tape solution for data intensive organizations.

HP’s new super-fast internal & external LTO5 drives allow fast connectivity to the advanced systems. Users can be assured of greater compatibility, because HP has also introduced the industry-leading SAS and SCSI connectivity options. Maximum backup speed achieved by HP LTO5 drives is 140/280 Mbps, which is simply unrivaled.

To help overcome the common issue of fluctuating in-coming data rate, which can degrade performance and increase error rate, HP has introduced a smart “data rate matching” feature in its high-performance LTO 5 drives. The speed of drive automatically alters with the in-coming data rate to provide a perfect match. This innovative functionality elevates the performance and completes data backups with superior reliability. HP LTO 5 system brings to you a wide range of advantageous features and the ability to pack mountains of data in a small footprint.
