Tandberg LTO-9 Ultrium Drive: Secure, High-Capacity Data Archiving
In today's data-driven world, securing your organization's most valuable asset—its information—is non-negotiable. The relentless growth of data requires a storage solution that is not only vast but also reliable, secure, and cost-effective for long-term retention. The Tandberg LTO-9 Ultrium Tape Drive is engineered to meet these demands, establishing itself as the premier choice for protecting, backing up, and archiving your business-critical data.
Leveraging the power of the latest LTO-9 Ultrium technology, this drive delivers an exceptional combination of performance and capacity. With up to 18TB of native storage (a staggering 45TB compressed), a single tape cartridge can house massive datasets, from extensive video archives and scientific research to complete system backups. This immense capacity significantly reduces the physical footprint of your archive, lowers media costs, and simplifies media management. The drive's impressive data transfer rates of up to 1,000 MB/s (compressed) ensure that your backup and recovery windows are shorter than ever, minimizing downtime and keeping your operations running smoothly.
Security is at the core of the Tandberg LTO-9 drive. It features hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption, the gold standard for data protection. This ensures that your sensitive information is completely secure, whether it's stored on-site or transported for off-site disaster recovery, helping you meet stringent compliance requirements with confidence. Furthermore, the drive simplifies data interaction through the Linear Tape File System (LTFS). This revolutionary feature allows you to mount a tape as if it were a standard disk drive, enabling intuitive drag-and-drop file management across Windows, Linux, and Mac OS environments. LTFS removes the complexity of traditional backup software for simple file archiving and makes data exchange between systems effortless. Built by Overland-Tandberg, a trusted name in data protection, the LTO-9 drive is your go-to source for a versatile, reliable, and high-performance data archiving solution.
