Benefits Of HP LTO Tapes
LTO tape technology is collaboration between IBM, Certance and Hewlett-Packard. Cooperation and openness of LTO media has assured backing of a broad range of media, automation licensees and tape drive that provided unparalleled performance and durability. HP provides innovative, reliable and efficient LTO tape products at best prices. “>HP LTO tape technology has been specifically designed and manufactured with in-depth knowledge and requirement analysis of every component in restore/backup storage operation, media, hardware, host, interface and specific data types. Powerful technologies of existing tape formats have been enhanced and employed in the HP LTO backup tape format. HP LTO is very cost efficient, intelligent and reliable storage media. LTO tape media offers high data integrity even after 1-million passes. The usage information and media profile are recorded in the LTO cartridge memory that can be read with in fraction of time away from the tape drive. The media loading time is very fast in HP LTO tape format.
LTO cartridge memory records positioning information that helps to accelerate the file access. Other information stored in LTO cartridge memory includes error logs and media loads. HP LTO ultrium ensures maximum system throughput as it has the new advantageous technique which helps it to match with the host speed. HP ultrium tape drives provide high level of robustness and reliability and are very user friendly which makes it ideal for library environment. According to the LTO CVE (Compliance Verification Entity), the LTO tape media can be interchanged across generations and vendors.
LTO tape products are compatible with Computer Associates ARCserveIT, Veritas, Legato and other backup softwares. HP test programs ensure LTO tape products’ compatibility with the leading NT & UNIX servers. Capacity and performance will be doubled in every new LTO version to achieve 1.6TB capacity is a single LTO cartridge with 1 TB/h transfer speed. HP LTO tape format is set to outlive other tape technologies because of its credible improvements in performance & capacity. HP LTO tape technology is more advantageous, user friendly and economical. LTO tape format is very robust, reliable and cost efficient.
HP LTO is very cost efficient, intelligent and reliable storage media. HP LTO ultrium ensures maximum system throughput as it has the new advantageous technique which helps it to match with the host speed. LTO format supports Ultra-2 SCSI and fiber channel. A single HP LTO-4 C7974A tape cartridge can accommodate 1.6 terabytes of information in compressed mode. The defected areas of the LTO tape media can be identified by the LTO tape drive, which improves reliability.
The LTO tape drive reads and verifies the data during data recording. In this way it rewrites information to the effected areas of LTO tape media. LTO tape format can still recover data if one full track (12.5% of recorded bits) is un-readable or lost. The mechanism of HP LTO tape format has been deigned for hundred percent duty cycle in both automated and standalone. The LTO tape drives issue automatic warning incase the tape media needs to be replaced. The need for manual cleaning is also reduced in the LTO ultrium tape format as it has an internal head cleaning system.
HP LTO tape technology is more advantageous and economical. LTO tape format is very robust, reliable and cost efficient. Highly durable HP LTO tape cartridges and tape drives are available at tape4backup.
