SymplyPRO 1RU Ethernet LTO-8: High-Performance Network Tape Archiving
Elevate your data protection strategy with the SymplyPRO 1RU Ethernet LTO appliance, a revolutionary tape archiving solution designed for modern, high-speed network environments. This appliance eliminates the need for dedicated servers and costly SAS infrastructure by providing direct, shared access to LTO tape technology over your existing 10Gb Ethernet network. It’s the perfect, streamlined solution for media & entertainment, enterprise, and data center workflows that demand secure, long-term data retention without sacrificing performance or accessibility.
At the core of the SymplyPRO is a powerful ARM processor and integrated data acceleration technology, engineered to deliver maximum throughput. This advanced architecture ensures lightning-fast command processing, resulting in a remarkable performance increase of up to 20% compared to conventional SAS-connected LTO drives. With dual 10GbE SFP+ ports, client systems can achieve aggregated speeds up to 2,000MB/sec, ensuring that your backup and archive windows are shorter than ever, all without burdening host system resources.
Integration and usability are seamless. Full support for the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) allows you to use the LTO drive just like a standard hard drive—simply drag and drop files for effortless archiving. This simplifies data interchange and can reduce reliance on complex backup software. For Mac-based environments, two iSCSI initiator licenses are included to get you connected right away. Security is paramount, with support for robust AES 256-bit encryption to keep your critical data safe.
This SymplyPRO model also features the innovative Symply CableLess™ design, allowing for the hot-swappable, tool-less removal and addition of LTO drives. You can easily service a drive or upgrade your configuration in under a minute without powering down the system, ensuring maximum uptime and unparalleled flexibility.
