High-Performance LTO-7 Archiving, Now on Your Network
Transform your data protection strategy with the SymplyPRO XTH Ethernet LTO appliance. This innovative system breaks the mold of traditional server-attached storage by providing direct, high-speed access to LTO-7 tape technology over your existing 10Gb Ethernet network. Designed for demanding environments in media & entertainment, enterprise IT, and data centers, the SymplyPRO XTH eliminates the need for dedicated servers, simplifying your infrastructure and reducing costs.
At its core, a powerful ARM processor works in tandem with integrated data acceleration technology to deliver exceptional performance. This unique architecture ensures a dedicated path for data, boosting transfer speeds by up to 20% compared to conventional SAS-connected drives without burdening your host systems. With dual 10GbE SFP+ ports, client systems can achieve an aggregated throughput of up to 2,000MB/sec, making large-scale backup and archive operations faster than ever.
The SymplyPRO XTH embraces flexibility and ease of use. Full support for the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) allows you to drag and drop files to and from an LTO tape as if it were a standard hard drive, minimizing reliance on complex backup software. The revolutionary Symply CableLess™ design features hot-swappable drive carriers, enabling you to add a second drive or service a unit in under a minute without powering down. Whether deployed as a compact desktop unit or mounted in a 1RU rack space, the SymplyPRO XTH provides a secure, scalable, and efficient solution for modern network-based workflows.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country.

Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
