Protection and backup of data in a huge online business today is driven by multi-dimensional challenge. Keep up with rapidly growing amounts of data, and applications of new time-critical and satisfaction of the strict regulations and prompted government officials to the data to its borders. To help in the data-rich companies to overcome these challenges, harsh way of cost-effective, and worked three media of all tape leaders HP, Seagate and IBM together introduced a new intelligent, high-performance and robust LTO technology (linear tape open). It provides multi-vendor interoperability and allows organizations to increase the capacity and performance of their own data center with minimal investment.
At this time when the majority of businesses are growing quickly and struggling to achieve their backup storage goal, Quantum has released the fifth generation Quantum LTO - 5 tape devices, also known as the ultrium LTO 5 backup. Quantum has developed a complete set of 5 products LTO ultrium tape drives including the high-speed, automated libraries, effective and durable tape LTO5, part number MR - L5MQN - 01.
Quantum increased the quantum tracks data cartridge media LTO5 to 1280, compared with 896 of LTO4 tape. This has provided a big boost to the ability to record without increasing the size of the cartridge. Compressed and the ability of the original quantum ultrium5 cartridge is the LTO 1.5TB and 3TB, respectively. Therefore, it will reduce the number of backup tapes for the data by about 50%, resulting in a media management effective and fast backup performance.
Cleverly designed family of quantum engine LTO5, on the basis of full height and half-height drives, to allow easy installation and to address a broader range of backup and restore customer specific demands. The faster the data transfer rate of the engines LTO5 quantity by 15% compared with the previous LTO4 technology. LTO5 engine improves the performance of quantum data storage and tables at high speed of 280MB/sec (compressed). Good news for organizations with limited space, which can also be quantum LTO5 engines are installed with the U - 1 and 3 - U rack mount configurations.
Interest in fueling LTO5 quantum solution is to divide the functions of the media, which simplifies data management and improve staff productivity. Can be a security and compliance demands satisfied as easily as WORM (write once, read many), and hardware-based encryption system features LTO5 in the coordination of the quantum. Encrypt the data stored to prevent malicious use of vital corporate information, and will be more than a nuisance for your company in a simple case of theft or misplacement of tape. On the other hand, WORM is a very useful tool to overcome the common errors of human (on the writings of an unintentional, accidental erasure, etc.).
In addition to the strong data security and the ability to record the massive quantity LTO5 system provides a connection to the previous generation tapes as well. Are read and LTO4 LTO3 ultrium tapes compatible, when it can also be data written on the LTO tape backup 4. This allows customers ultrium LTO-based systems for cost-efficient to increase the capacity and performance of their data center.
