In the modern age, if any business wishes to expand it must departmentalize its operations. The idea of departmentalization is inspired by the famous Economics theory of division of labor. The theory suggests that if efficiency is to be increased then a business must engage in dividing its activities. If one person is performing all the jobs himself then it will first take long for the whole task to finish and it would also make the activity hectic and stressful for that employee. So, if two people are asked to finish a task they will naturally finish it sooner than one person. Therefore, the more the people performing a task the quicker it would finish. Of course this analogy on the business world is a lot more complex. The very first question that businesses ask is how many to people to hire?

This question can be answered using the theory of diminishing marginal returns, which suggests, a business should hire employees till they add to the overall output, if the rate of output increase declines with the hiring of an additional employee then the decision should not be taken.

The second aspect of division of ...
... labor is forming departments in a business. It is for this reason most businesses now have marketing, finance, human resource and Information Technology department. The jobs are of the IT department are further divided into operations and data backup. Operations are concerned with technology that makes easy the day to day functions of a business. Data backup on the other hand is responsible for duplication of important business data for storage and safety. Businesses that do not have separate departments for IT tend to make decisions like, which medium of backup technology to employee casually, as a result, they suffer from system failures or disasters.

One of the best and most reliable mediums of backup technology is HP LTO6 tape. This is the sixth generation of the most famous Linear Tape Open technology and it was released in the December of 2012. The basic features of the tape include a storage capacity of 2.5 Terabytes for native data and a processing speed of 160 Megabytes per second. The unique feature of this lto6 solution by HP is its compression rate; it is one of a kind that can compress data at a rate or 2.5:1, so a business can store up to 6.25 terabytes of data.

One feature that led to the ultimate success of HP LTO6 tape is the partition rate. The feature allows businesses divide their single tape cartridge in two different parts and use it independently. Other than this the tape also supports the Write Once read Many feature; the purpose of this feature is to keep data safe and secure by eliminating editing on data. Once the data is entered onto the tape it cannot be changed. HP ultrium 6 format also comes with the encryption feature which allows businesses to encode their important data and only allow authorized personnel to decode and then review it.
