How to get a huge archive with a small upgrade
LTO Single Tape Drive secures workstations
Keen data savers: LTO Single Tape Drive
A small drive opens up large magnetic tape capacities. With these removable media your archive can grow well secured.
Removable media – especially high-capacity LTO tapes – make it possible to quickly store and back up data offline. This means that the administrator has a 100 percent clean data stock in his back pocket. A single LTO drive is the simplest way to gain access to established LTO technology.
With LTO, however, not only a secure long-term archive can be built up, but also backups that can be quickly restored are possible. Via the integrated LTFS file system, the controlling software finds searched data blocks in no time at all and plays them back at up to 300 megabytes per second. With compressible data such as text, this can even be done at up to 750 MB/s. The WORM technology (Write Once Read Many) even offers additional security when saving, since data once written cannot be changed afterwards.
