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.
Tailor a perfect fit
Connectivity choices
LTO drives are available with SCSI or native
Fibre Channel interfaces.
Technical compatibility
LTO drives are available in both desktop and
rackmount standalone configurations, as well as in Sun StorageTek tape
automation platforms. They are compatible with leading backup and management
software.
SAN-readiness
With native four-gigabit Fibre Channel
interfaces, the LTO tape drives are ready for direct connection to
high-performance SANs.
Key Specifications
- Store up to 800 gigabytes of native data and
move data at rates as high as 120 megabytes per second.
- Fibre Channel interface connecting directly to
new or existing SANs for easy integration.
- Enhanced data protection with ratings at more
than 100,000 loads and unloads and one million tape passes before failure.
