HPE Ultrium tape technology has been designed to deliver exceptional reliability & performance at the lowest cost per GB. The Ultrium format builds on the best of existing technologies; open standards increase innovation & widen customer choice in terms of performance, capacity, & form factor. Backed by HPE's exhaustive media qualification process, HPE Ultrium data cartridges support all HPE Storage & non HPE Ultrium tape devices. Assuming 2:1 compression, the latest fifth Generation products minimize interruption to network & SAN backup by being capable of protecting 1TB/hour of data & storing up to 3.0 TB on one piece of media (almost double the capacity of HPE LTO-4 Ultrium tapes). HPE's Bar Code & RFID Labeled Data Cartridges: HPE sells both Labeled & Unlabeled LTO Ultrium data cartridges for automation customers requiring bar code & RFID labeled storage media. HPE's Custom Bar Code & RFID Labeled Data Cartridges allow customers to place a custom order with HPE & specifically define the exact barcode sequence printed on each label. Customers should expect a longer lead time for custom order processing. HPE Custom Labeled Data Cartridges are sold in 20 packs in the USA & Europe. HPE's Non-Custom Bar Code & RFID Labeled Data Cartridges allow customers to receive labeled data cartridges fast because no customization process is required. These products are perfect for customers that require labeled media but do not need to define the exact sequence printed on each label. Each HP Non-Custom Labeled Data Cartridge will have a unique, pre-defined barcode sequence printed on each label (no duplicate codes). HP's Non-Custom Labeled Data Cartridges are sold in 20 packs & are available worldwide.
