Exclusive IBM tape media technologies have elevated the data density, capacity, durability and transfer speed of LTO2 tape format. IBM LTO-2 tapes provide exceptional reliability, flexibility and scalability in mid-range and automated network storage systems. IBM 08L9870 represents LTO-2 tape cartridge with 400GB capacity (compressed). IBM has employed new advantageous technique to its LTO-2 ultrium which has upgraded the data reliability and output frequency. Specific information of the IBM LTO-2 cartridge is held by a special memory chip called LTO cartridge memory or simply LTO-CM. During media loading/unloading, the information retained in LTO-CM is communicated with the ultrium drive by using radio frequency component. The IBM LTO-2 tape adheres to the highly durable design specifications of LTO ultrium-2. Increased track density and enhanced tape technologies enable the IBM 08L9870 ultrium cartridge to retain information for longer time span.
IBM LTO-2 backup tape products are providing reliability and economical backup solutions to the enterprises around the globe. IBM LTO-2 serves the clients through its increased storage capacity and breakthrough performance. Lesser floor space will be needed because the IBM 08L9870 ultrium tape offers increased capacity. This means that it will also help to decrease the human interventions and media loading time. Therefore this will ultimately lower the operational costs. IBM LTO-2 tape drives along with the IBM LTO-2 data tapes support the LTO-CM chip. The tape drive writes & reads the recorded information from the IBM LTO-2 tape through radio frequency transmission. LTO-CM speeds up searching and is very useful in transferring of data during the drive’s loading & unloading cycles. The simultaneous transfer of information accelerates the data searching speed because it removes the need of cartridge-dependent read/write data from the backup tape, before it’s unloading or after media loading.
