In today’s evolving world of E-commerce, organizations share, analyze, compile and create massive volumes of data. Your business enterprise depends on this data to generate revenue and perform its daily routine operations. Therefore, you must ensure security of these data assets and plan a smart strategy to handle the disastrous situation of data loss. Having copy of mission-critical data will keep your business on track, and information disaster won’t cause you any financial loss.

When the question is about protecting your most valuable data assets, business enterprises should install the market-leading backup system that has solid history and best satisfies the security, operational efficiency and cost requirements. No other tape-based backup technology can beat Linear Tape Open (LTO) format that is enjoying high market share since late 1990s. HP Hewlett-Packard is the technical expert in tape solutions and also the co-developer of this highly successful LTO ultrium format. Its high-class LTO devices support the specific data protection needs of small to large companies.

HP LTO3 tape is an intelligent and ...
... economical midrange system that delivers exceptional security and performance in the broadest array of business enterprises and workstations. You can enjoy high-speed backups and massive recording capacity with this HP-branded LTO ultrium 3 solution. The LTO3 half-height tape drives improve compatibility with their robust internal & external models. HP’s LTO-3 half height drive portfolio is ultrium-920. Full height drives are also available, which belong to the HP ultrium-960 family. So, the users can integrate more LTO3 drives within their multifunctional I.T centers and be assured of simplified data management.

In comparison to the HP LTO2 tape, the LTO-3 cartridge can hold twice the data amount. On the other hand, LTO3 tape drives are 2.5 times faster than previous drives. Data streaming rate accelerates to a staggering 80/160 MB per second. Therefore, it can efficiently meet the demands for reduced backup time and superior reliability with modern business applications.

Thanks to ongoing LTO roadmap and the cost-saving backward compatibility of drives, systems can be upgraded with minimal investment. LTO 3 drives retrieve and backup files on LTO3 & LTO2 tapes. Good news for LTO1 customers is that their LTO 1 tapes are read compatible. Small form factor of HP LTO3 drives and compact tape cartridge provides valuable space savings. Moreover, WORM functionality is available that only allows data recording, while preventing deletions and alterations. This smart technology prohibits unauthorized personnel from tampering the stored data files.

Tapes are carried within the data center and also to remote sites for data sharing and offsite storage. There is a high of risk of damage as tapes might accidentally fall or if the staff members roughly handle them. HP has ensured long term durability of its LTO ultrium tapes by introducing a tough cartridge shell. The tape reel’s exceptional smoothness enables fast data tracking, whereas the reduced tape friction lowers media deterioration. So the midsized companies struggling to reduce their operating expenses, infrastructure complexity and maximize their storage performance can confidently install this HP LTO3 system.
