Modern businesses generally have large quantities of electronic data stored on their business's servers and other machines. The problem is that this data is at risk. Sudden power failures, corrupted data archives, malicious network attacks, all these and more can result in the loss of some or all of this data, potentially causing great loss in time, money and productivity to your business. Protecting this data is therefore essential, by ensuring you have backup copies of data stored separately. For this purpose tape based storage devices remain the most cost effective method of storing and retrieving huge quantities of data, providing unmatched capacities and long term survivability.
Quantum's LTO tapes provide full-height performance in only a half-height form factor. The LTO format is an industry standard and widely used format meaning these drives can be used with tapes from many manufacturers. This model uses the LTO-3 format and so is read/write compatible with LTO-2 and read compatible with LTO-1. The drive has a native transfer rate of 68 MB/sec thanks to its SCSI interface, and native capacity of up to 400GB. It also includes security for your stored data such as through 256 bit encryption.
Quantum's tape drives also include their SmartVerify and FastSense technology. SmartVerify reduces the need for a verify pass in a backup while FastSense monitors and matches data speeds to the available hardware. With these solutions, reliable SCSI performance and smaller form factor these tape drives are an excellent value for money purchase for any business.
