It is the need of modern day businesses that they install an effective and efficient medium of backup technology. This need became more evident in the operations of the businesses when majority of them went global. Being a global business meant that businesses are interacting with customers beyond their geographic boundary through a business website. When a significant amount of business is being done on the internet it also means that there is a larger quantity of data that needs to be processed. The direct consequence of a large quantity of data processing is backing up of that data. Since most large scale businesses are data intensive they require a product that can store more data but also process it efficiently. Most products in the industry make the business compromise between data storage needs and data processing needs. If a product is providing a large storage capacity, it would not be able to offer fast processing of data and vice versa. However HP LTO5 tape is one medium of backup technology that allows businesses to enjoy both the features.

The basic features of the tape include a storage capacity of 1.5 terabytes ...
... for raw data and 3 terabytes for compressed data. The processing speed is 140 Megabytes per second. The most intriguing fact about this lto ultrium 5 is that it has many unique features that are not offered by any other product in the industry. One of these unique features is partition. The basic function of the tape is to allow businesses to divide one single tape cartridge in two equal parts. The greatest advantage of this partition feature is that the information of two related departments such as Marketing and Sales, or Accounts and finance can be stored in one single cartridge. It depends on the needs of the business; some may even use the partition feature to store data of any two years or any two unrelated departments.

Another additional benefit of installing HP LTO5 tape is high security level. As more and more businesses conducted their business online they became victims of problems like data theft, data corruption and destruction of data. In order to overcome these problems businesses were investing in additional software’s and hardware’s to protect their data but this also resulted in higher costs for the businesses. HP LTO5 tape provides data protection through the encryption feature and the WORM feature. It stands for write once and read many; this feature ensures the authenticity of the data that is backed up by not allowing any editing or amendment of data that is keyed onto the tape. The encryption feature on the other hand encodes the data, this encoding is done by the trusted officials of the business can only be decoded by them. So even if someone steals the important business data they will not be able to decode and understand it. Lastly, the price of HP LTO5 tape for the features it provides is extremely very reasonable, allowing more and more businesses to obtain it.
