High-Performance Ethernet LTO for Modern Data Protection
Unlock the power of LTO-9 tape archiving directly on your network with the SymplyPRO XTH Ethernet Appliance. Designed for today’s demanding data-driven environments, this system eliminates the need for dedicated servers and complex SAS infrastructure. Simply connect the appliance to your existing 10Gb Ethernet network and gain shared, high-speed access to secure, long-term data storage. It’s the perfect solution for media and entertainment, enterprise data centers, and any organization needing to manage and protect growing data volumes efficiently.
At its core, the SymplyPRO XTH features a powerful ARM processor and integrated data acceleration technology, delivering a performance boost of up to 20% over traditional SAS-connected LTO drives. With dual 10GbE SFP+ ports, client systems can achieve an aggregated throughput of up to 2,000MB/sec, making large data transfers and backups faster than ever. The inclusion of Linear Tape File System (LTFS) support transforms the user experience, allowing you to drag and drop files to and from the LTO tape just like a standard hard drive, all while maintaining enterprise-grade security with AES 256-bit encryption.
Flexibility is built-in. The revolutionary Symply CableLess™ design allows you to add a second drive or service an existing one in under a minute without powering down the system. The desktop appliance can also be rack-mounted and expanded to support up to four LTO drives or connect to a larger tape library, ensuring it can scale with your future needs. This configuration comes complete with an LTO-9 data cartridge, a cleaning cartridge, and two macOS iSCSI initiator licenses, giving you everything you need to start protecting your data right out of the box.
