The needs of a business solely depend on its size. The size of the business indicates how large are its operations, how big is the customer base, and how data intensive it is. So, if you are a large scale business your operational needs will be much different from that of a small scale business. Large scale business usually operate not only in national regions but also in international regions, which means they have a lot more data to process than a small scale business. The problem faced by large scale businesses is not only to process immense amounts of data but to also store and then back it up.

Finding an ideal candidate for backup is extremely difficult for large scale businesses, particularly because most of the products offered have very limited storage capacity. When the storage capacity is low businesses have to spend large amounts of money in repeatedly purchasing the backup tapes and then to create some space where all these tapes would be stored. This process can prove to be very troublesome and annoying. This problem can be solved very easily just by the installation of HP LTO5 tape.

It is the fifth ...
... generation of Linear Tape Open technology that was created by HP, IBM and Seagate. The purpose of this technology was to provide businesses with such a medium of backup that would not only efficiently duplicate important data but would also keep it securely. This Linear Tape Open technology has been accredited to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of businesses all over the world.

The tape is an ideal candidate for large scale businesses that are data intensive in nature because it can store 1.5 Terabytes of raw data and 3 Terabytes of compressed data. This means that the compression rate is 2:1. The processing speed of the tape is 140 Megabytes per second. These characteristics of the tape satisfy the need of the business to efficiently duplicate data.

Going on to the security needs of the business the ultrium5 format comes with two features, encryption and WORM. Discussing the WORM feature first, which stands for, Write Once Read Many, allows businesses to ensure hundred percent authenticity of data. This is made possible because the tape does not allow any editing, amendment or changing in data once it has been entered. The second feature of encryption allows the business to encode the data once it is entered into the tape cartridge. Once the data is encoded it cannot be viewed or read by unauthorized officials and only authorized officials can decode it.

An additional feature of the tape includes the partition feature. This feature allows businesses to divide their particular tape cartridge in two halves. The option of division comes very handy because it can allow businesses to store data of two related departments in once single tape cartridge and when the need requires this data can easily be retrieved and cross compared. HP LTO 5 is clearly the best in the market and once you install it you will realize it instantly.
