SymplyPRO XTH Ethernet LTO-8: High-Performance Networked Tape Archiving
Revolutionize your data protection strategy with the SymplyPRO XTH Ethernet LTO-8. This high-performance appliance is engineered for modern, network-centric workflows in media, enterprise, and data center environments. By integrating directly into your existing network via dual 10Gb Ethernet SFP+ ports, the SymplyPRO XTH eliminates the need for a dedicated server, streamlining your infrastructure and reducing costs. It provides secure, shared, high-speed access to the robust and reliable LTO-8 tape format for your entire team.
At its core, a powerful ARM processor and integrated data acceleration technology work in tandem to deliver exceptional performance. This intelligent design offloads processing from host systems and optimizes data transfer, resulting in performance up to 20% faster than traditional SAS-connected drives and aggregated speeds of up to 2,000MB/sec across the network. The inclusion of Linear Tape File System (LTFS) support transforms the user experience, allowing for simple drag-and-drop file operations just like a standard hard drive. This simplifies data interchange and can reduce reliance on complex backup software.
The SymplyPRO XTH is built for flexibility and longevity. While this model features a single half-height LTO-8 drive, the system is designed for growth. The innovative Symply CableLess™ technology allows for the effortless, hot-swappable addition of a second drive or easy servicing without powering down the unit. This unique, tool-less design future-proofs your investment and minimizes downtime. Paired with AES 256-bit encryption, support for leading backup applications, and a comprehensive 3-year warranty, the SymplyPRO XTH Ethernet LTO-8 is the definitive solution for secure, efficient, and scalable network-attached tape archiving.
