Many businesses face a number of risks and threats from different sources. Since the corporate world is a cut-throat one where competitors would do anything to stop their rivals it is best for businesses to be prepared before such danger strikes them or else they would have to spend huge sums of money in order to obtain the same data again. Businesses that do not have the funds in order to restart are closed down and cannot get back to where they were prior to their loss of information because their databases are affected and attacked by external and internal threats. External threats are inclusive of hackers- many businesses employ the expertise of hackers in order to obtain information regarding their competitors so that they can retrieve important information from their databases and use this information to their advantage. Internal threats are inclusive of the possibility of disruptions on networks because of which certain information that may have to be sent to a client or customer is no longer available. Though it is not possible for one to eradicate these threats, it is possible for businesses to safeguard themselves ...
... so that any risk or loss of information does not affect too much. In other words, it is better to minimize the potential losses than to get affected by such threats when you can save your business by using reliable and cost-effective backup technology.

Backup technology, as the name suggests, is technology which allows businesses to save information on to certain devices so that these can be used later on, if they are affected or if their databases are attacked by threats such as those mentioned above. One such technology is the Linear Tape Open technology and HP is one of the manufacturers of such technology. The HP LTO2 tape would be very beneficial for businesses in the world of today. This technology can be used by businesses in order to make duplicate copies of any information which may be important to them for future purpose or for comparison (as is the case with businesses relying heavily on R&D).

The HP LTO 2 tape is compatible with other generations of these tapes, LTO-3 and 4, and the backward compatibility allows these generations to read data on older generations of the LTO tape. Since the tape has a storage capacity of 400 GB (200 GB compressed data) your business can save plenty data on these tapes. The tape drives have storage capacity (of 400 GB per cartridge) too which means that you have additional backup technology and so, your business is very well-prepared and can bounce back should your database or systems get attacked by external or internal threats. The HP LTO 2 tape is to be put inside the tape drive in order to be read and if the tapes are damaged or broken, you can always rely on the tape drives in order to retrieve some of the important data which you would have lost otherwise.
