Posted On : May-19-2011 | seen (360) times | Article Word Count : 478 |

LTO backup tape devices manufactured by Hewlett-Packard are specifically engineered to provide unmatched capacity/performance ratio, with terabyte-class data recording capability. With HP LTO devices, the businesses can be assured of highly robust data protection techniques, improved scalability and unmatched output frequency.
Now your entire backup needs will be fulfilled at lowest cost with the intelligent HP LTO-5 format. LTO-5 is the latest version of linear tape open technology whose capacity and data throughput performance have been raised by 100% over the LTO4 media technology. The powerful and cost saving features of the prior LTO versions are inherited by the new LTO-5 tape format. HP has raised the quantity of data tracks in LTO5 tape to 1280, which enables the media to hold uncompressed 1.5 terabytes of information. All the versions of LTO format use 2:1 compression ratio.

You can economically handle the increasing storage needs with the help of scalable backup and storage capability of intelligent HP LTO5 tape. The Ultrium-5 data cartridge introduced by HP has a tough base film that provides incredible tracking stability at an increased read/write speed of 1 TB per hour. HP LTO-5 storage format performs cost effective and seamless backup operations in data centers, small to high-end network servers, departmental backups and large-scale business enterprises.

I have listed below the part numbers of the previous four versions of HP LTO backup tapes:

HP C7975A, HP C7974A, HP C7973A, HP C7972A, HP C7971A

Those mission critical business environments that require 24x7 on-line support should adopt the high speed LTO-5 format. HP C7975A backup tape offers enormous capacity and unparalleled media security that is required by such demanding I.T environments. HP C7975A tape cartridge is more durable than other data tapes because its tape reel has a smoother and uniform surface with increased bit density. These high performance features of HP C7975A tape’s medium will result in reduced media wear and high speed backups, thus providing greater protection to your investment.

Hewlett Packard has redesigned architecture of C7975A tape cartridge with the addition of a high-speed cartridge memory chip. Memory chip is available in all the versions of LTO cartridges. Memory chip assists the data administrators to efficiently monitor the media and get faster access to the stored data files. Debris can slow down and affect the performance of tape drive that is why HP has applied a tough and reliable magnetic layer over the LTO-5 cartridge’s tape reel to significantly reduce the media wear.

Best optimal solution to avoid data theft or misusage of critical data is to store the information onto the tape in encrypted form. The good news is that the HP LTO-5 now offers a very reliable encryption function. Encryption mechanism supported by HP LTO5 is “256 bit AES encryption”. LTO-5 tapes have been introduced in two different classes, which are RW (rewritable) and WORM tape cartridges. Most compelling feature of LTO-5 tape technology is that all brands of LTO-5 tape drive allow you to use and interchange the WORM and rewritable LTO5 data tapes without any resource.
