Product Overview
IBM 02XW568 LTO Ultrium 9 Data Tape Cartridge is the most appropriate technology in the field of data storage because it has the largest capacity and can store the largest amount of data in an enterprise-level compared with any other storage device. Being a high efficiency, safe and long-term data retention cartridge, it can be configured with up to 18 TB of native storage and an increase of up to 45 TB when compressed to 2.5:1. It is an ideal data center, IT professional, and business partner solution that desires to safeguard critical information at the lowest overhead cost since it is built well and has innovative capabilities.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Massive Storage: Support 18 TB and 45 TB raw and compressed storage, respectively, on a cartridge, which is a large amount of data that would otherwise have taken a lot of tapes to be stored.
-
Quick Data Moving: The very fastest data transfer systems with 400 MB/s data transfer rates at a compression rate of 1,000 MB/s, such that data backup and data retrieval are fast.
-
Advanced Tape Technology: This is the use of Barium Ferrite (BaFe) technology, which is more resilient and dependable than the older metal particle tape.
-
Data Security Features: Hardware encryption of sensitive data, and Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) are features to ensure that sensitive data is not manipulated unauthorised.
-
LTFS Compatibility: Linear Tape File System (LTFS): Can be easily accessed and used with a file-based system, which is more easily managed.
-
Long-Term Archival life: offers an archival life of up to 30 years, ensuring that the data integrity and data are made available for long periods.
