With growing number of competitors in internet-driven market, the I.T managers are facing tough challenges. It’s important that they develop smart strategy to improve productivity, minimize operating expenses, accelerate data flow and ensure long term security of company data. Backup storage is the best way to secure your business continuity.

LTO (Linear Tape Open) technology has been enjoying its market dominance for more than a decade. The scalable LTO generations continue to deliver a cost-effective backup solution for a wider spectrum of organizations (small to large). LTO 5 generation is a direct response to the medium and large companies’ demand for compact, ultra-high capacity and fast backup system. It has introduced new concept of tape partitioning along with the convenience of USB connectivity. As compared to LTO 4 cartridge, LTO5 tape’s physical size has not been increased, but preserves approx. 88 percent higher data volume. It accommodates 1500GB data. This new generation also improves on data processing speed, now featuring a blistering 140 Mbps (native).

Good news is that the LTO ultrium-5 ...
... customers can further elevate their performance. This can be achieved by integrating the breakthrough “Backup Virtualization” technology. This intelligent mechanism brings cost efficiency and significant enhancement to the data management. It provides a solid platform to the multiple backup devices, and intelligently controls all operations. The data administrators can easily monitor, control and attach all backup hardware to this common platform. This smart approach offers more flexibility and the luxury to scale your performance without any hassle.

LTO5 offers exceptional vendor choice. The tape media specialists TDK, Dell, Quantum, IBM, Dell, Fuji, HP, Sony and many others are competing in this LTO industry. The result is low prices for the high quality LTO devices. The fast data streaming speed of LTO ultrium5 system enables the multi-functional IT centers to meet the tightest backup windows at a low cost. The rivals tape systems are unable to match LTO5 solution that has strengthened data security through built-in encryption and reliable WORM (write once, read many) LTO 5 media. Moreover, it extends the LTO4 customers’ investments. They can write data to their existing tapes and also reliably retrieve the recorded information. LTO technology meets your future requirements, and ensures that the operating expenses do not spiral out of control.

Media partitioning has created great attraction, whereas the innovative “Linear Tape File System” simplifies data management. The LTO5 solution provides customers a user-friendly environment where they can copy/paste data or protect their critical information through drag-drop functionality. The overall backup/retrieval process is really simple just like working with USB storage device. So as the data protection needs increase, the IT staff can easily manage their diverse digital content with fewer LTO5 tapes.

With the luxury of media interoperability, the LTO customers feel confident that their organization can seamlessly get connected to various other data centers. In this way, the organizations become agile and can tolerate heavy workloads. The smart combination of Backup virtualization and LTO5 technology ensures dramatic cost savings, reduced infrastructure complexity and flexible platform for fast data processing.
