In the past many companies have lost a lot of information because of viruses and hackers entering and hacking their software. The worst part about viruses is that they can attack a computer’s database via online and offline networks so no one would know whether or not their laptop/computer systems are affected by viruses until the system is damaged till the point of no return. Anti-virus software is useless if the virus is new and often many people do not even know when a virus has attacked their software. Also, anti-virus software can only protect a computer from viruses that already known of and that, too, to an extent. There is no guarantee it would work and even if the manufacturer provides a purchaser with a warranty, that would be pointless because once your software is affected, you would have lost all the information anyway.

Companies often lose a lot of information because of these viruses and they have to start from scratch and research for material related to products, goods and services all over again. Some information may not even be recoverable such as those related to taxes, balance sheets, products ...
... that are yet to be made, formulae which would be needed to make certain medicines (where pharmaceutical companies are concerned) and other such information. That is why it is always better to protect such information on a separate source which viruses cannot attack and which hackers cannot gain access too. This way you can delete the same information from the software of your computers, save storage space on your laptop/computer and you can store the information in a place that nobody knows or which no one has access to except for you. This is where backup technology would be of great use to you.

Dell has the ideal device for you: The third generation LTO (Linear Tape Open) would allow the users to store 400 GB of native data on to it. It comes with a 2:1 ratio of native to compressed data. It comes with a 2:1 ratio of native to compressed data. Best thing about this backup system is the ability to overwrite and save data stored on previous generations of the Dell LTO tapes (LTO ultrium 2). This would also reduce the need for additional tape cartridges and you could save up money and allocate this to other aspects of your business instead.

The Dell LTO3 tape can be used to retrieve quite a lot of information if a virus or hacker attacks your computer. Why? Since the device is not part of your computer, any information stored on it would be safe from viruses and hackers and all you would need to retrieve information is the tape drive based on LTO 3 technology.

So the Dell LTO3 tape would enable you to protect yourself from data loss. You can save data of utmost importance on these tapes and store them away since they are so compact and light. If you want to bounce back and be ready in the face of threats, this tape is just the thing you need.
