Each and every business shares a single ultimate purpose, which is, to make profit and to become successful. The impact of globalization has been positive as well as negative on the business world. For instance some businesses were able to gain a wider customer range of customers due to international trade while others failed to cope up with a dramatic increase in the scale of operations. The major problem encountered by the businesses who couldn’t cope up with increased international trade and wider customer base was too much information. Businesses were able to secure, monitor and access the massive information that came with the increased level of businesses activity. This situation posed a dilemma to the business world, should they engage in international trade and benefit from greater profits or should they limit the scope of their business to domestic regions to keep the management efficient.

The credit to the solution of this problem greatly goes to Linear Tape Open Technology. Three biggest names (Hewlett-Packard, Seagate and IBM) in the information technology world gathered to create the most efficient and ...
... reliable form of backup technology, which is Linear Tape Open technology. The fifth and the most recent generation of Linear Tape Open technology was launched in the year 2010 and has been a wide success ever since. Businesses are super impressed by this HP LTO5 technology because it provides them with unmatchable levels of reliability and efficiency. The most impressive feature of this tape is its storage capacity and processing speed. The storage capacity is 1.5 Terabytes for raw data and double the amount for compressed data. The processing speed goes as high as 140 Megabytes’ per second. These characteristics of the tape allowed business to secure immense amount of information in one single tape, premising them to access the information when required conveniently.

The HP ultrium5 cartridge part number C7975A also created a lot of buzz in the business community because it was the first medium of backup technology that allowed partition. For instance businesses could divide the tape in two separate parts, this feature was quite beneficial in storing information of two sources. The tape also introduced the encryption feature; the founders of the fifth generation of Tape Open technology were able to understand that for the 21st century businesses security is of utmost importance. It is for this reason the tape allowed businesses to encrypt data as it was keyed into the tape. The encryption feature hedged the business from any act that violated the authenticity of the data.

Last but not the least in order to take full advantage of HP LTO5 tape it is advised that businesses simultaneously install the LTO5 tape drive as well. The tape itself allows encryption of data but it is the tape drive that performs the task of encryption. Most mediums of backup technology that offer features such as this LTO5 tape charge a very high price but this HP tape goes against the trend of the market and charges a very fair and reasonable price.
