Features and Benefits

Today's 24 x 7 x 365 business environment requires more data to be backed up in less time. High performing LTO tape drives do just that, economically, for midrange tape automation environments. Choose from a variety of LTO formats to meet your price, performance and capacity needs.

Key Benefits

  • With the ability to store up to 800 gigabytes of native data on a single cartridge, media and tape counts are reduced while accommodating data growth.
  • Backups are accelerated by processing more information within limited backup windows.
  • Tape drive performance and product life are extended through dynamic rate matching and dual mode compression capabilities.

Cost-effective capacity and performance

Huge capacities to handle more data in less time

With the ability to store up to 800 gigabytes of uncompressed data on a single cartridge with the LTO 4 drive, more data can be stored in nearline automation and support consolidation and footprint reduction initiatives.

Reduced backup windows

The capacity and throughput performance of LTO technology enables you to accelerate backups by processing more information within limited windows. The LTO 4 drive moves data at rates as high as 120 megabytes per second uncompressed.

Exceptional performance

Capabilities such as dynamic rate matching and dual mode compression enhance tape drive performance and product life.

Enhanced data protection and compliance

Stay up and running

Sun’s StorageTek LTO drives have a mean time between failure (MTBF) rating of 250,000 hours at 100 percent duty cycle. This high level of reliability provides dependable data protection solutions.

WORM-compliant

The WORM capability of the LTO 3 and LTO 4 tape drive is designed to help address compliance with government regulations and internal data retention policies. The LTO 3 and LTO 4 drives provide an affordable, scalable solution that allows use of the same tape drive for both WORM and regular data, along with a distinctive WORM cartridge that provides added security.
