Highest capacity LTO cartridge helps optimize your storage requirements With explosive growth in data, many organizations are struggling to manage, protect, mitigate risk, & maintain rapidly growing information assets while ensuring compliance with industry regulations. IBM invented the concept of magnetic tape computer storage back in 1952 & continues to lead the industry in tape innovation today. & our latest generation & largest capacity LTO media is designed to help control your massive storage growth & demanding costs requirements associated with backup & archiving. IBM LTO Ultrium Generation 5 media has been designed to deliver exceptional capacity & reliability at a lower cost per GB than other types of storage medium. Cartridge capacity of up to 3 TB (at 2:1 compression) helps reduce the number of cartridges & the amount of equipment, space & labor associated with tape-based storage. In addition, it helps reduce the time associated with backup & restore operations by reducing the amount of cartridge handling, further lowering operational costs. Features, quality & innovation you demand from IBM IBM’s continuous development of innovative features & reliability assures that IBM LTO cartridges provide not only the highest reliability & data integrity that your business demands, but also support for other critical requirements like data encryption & fast access to data for time-critical applications. The fifth generation of LTO tape media, IBM draws on over 60 years of experience as the inventor & supplier to the world of tape media for computer data storage. The latest generation adds advanced partitioning for specific applications & is the foundation for future innovative tape media capability. Cartridges have been optimized & tested extensively in IBM LTO tape drives & tape libraries to help maximize performance, data integrity & data longevity. They are designed to withstand the rigors of normal use in both st&-alone & automated environments. in addition, each cartridge is embedded with an LTO cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip, which enables fast, simultaneous transfer of cartridge-dependent data with IBM tape drives during loading & unloading to help further increase reliability. The burgundy cartridge color distinguishes it from previous generations of IBM LTO Ultrium Media in your data center. IBM LTO Ultrium 5 data cartridges are compatible with LTO Generation 5 tape drives & tape libraries utilizing LTO generation 5 drives from IBM and other LTO generation 5 compliant suppliers.
