Leading performance and capacity

Future Proof

The 4th generation Tandberg LTO drives are designed to meet the Storage challenges faced by organisations today. Exponential data growth, coupled with business continuity requirements, regulatory compliance and resource contraints make the need for reliable, cost effective data protection solutions more necessary than ever before. The Tandberg LTO drives address these requirements by offering capacities up to 1.6 TB*, high through-put and enterprise class features.

Enhanced performance and capacity

The Tandberg LTO-4 drive doubles the capacity over LTO-3 increasing to 1.6 TB compressed from 800 GB*, and offers transfer rates up to 240 MB per second. The LTO-4 drives offer full backward compatibility with LTO-3 cartridges and backward read compatibilities with LTO-2 cartridges, helping to protect the investment customers have made in LTO technology.

Data encryption** for enhanced security

Increasing attention is being paid to the need to protect company data against theft or accidental loss, particularly data that contain personal or sensitive information of a company’s customers. The Tandberg LTO-4 FH includes data encryption capabilities within the drive, helping to avoid the need for host-based encryption of data or the use of specialized encryption appliances. This will provide customers with greater ability to protect information if cartridges are lost or stolen.

High reliability with Adaptive Tape Threading

The Tandberg Data LTO drives features Adaptive Tape Threading which helps to protect against load failures with 8 independent sensor readings, which provide input to enhanced firmware. By verifying tape speed and tape spinning wheel, modulating the thread profile to help provide tension control, using thread algorithm to help detect damaged cartridges and including a unique design that prevents accidental pulling of the leader pin, the Tandberg Data LTO drives offer high reliability, required in medium and large enterprises.

Why standardize on LTO?

LTO Ultrium is the only industry standard tape drive technology on the market today. The Ultrium LTO format has quickly become the market leader overtaking other proprietary technologies such as DLT and AIT. The availability of 4 generations of LTO tape drives simplifies the decision. It is the only option available for low cost requirements where capacity growth potential matches the escalating data growth rates that businesses are facing today.
