High-Performance Network-Attached LTO-7 Archiving
Unlock seamless, high-speed data protection with the SymplyPRO 1RU Ethernet LTO appliance. Designed for modern, hyper-converged environments, this revolutionary system eliminates the need for dedicated servers by integrating directly into your existing 10Gb Ethernet network. It empowers organizations in media, enterprise, and data centers with secure, shared access to robust LTO-7 tape technology, making long-term archiving simpler and more efficient than ever before.
At its core, the SymplyPRO Ethernet LTO features a powerful ARM processor and integrated data acceleration, delivering a remarkable 20% performance increase over conventional SAS-connected drives without burdening host system resources. With dual 10GbE SFP+ ports, client systems can achieve aggregated speeds of up to 2,000MB/sec, ensuring that your data backup and archival processes are fast and non-disruptive. The inclusion of Linear Tape File System (LTFS) support transforms the experience, allowing you to drag and drop files to and from a tape cartridge just like a standard hard drive, minimizing the need for complex backup software.
Engineered for maximum flexibility and reliability, the SymplyPRO is built with our innovative Symply CableLess™ technology. This unique design allows for the effortless, hot-swappable removal and addition of LTO drives for service or upgrades—all in under a minute without powering down the system. Whether you start with a single drive or expand to a multi-drive configuration, the SymplyPRO Ethernet LTO provides a scalable, future-proof solution for protecting your most valuable digital assets. It comes complete with two macOS iSCSI initiator licenses, a data cartridge, and a cleaning cartridge, so you have everything you need to get started right out of the box.
