Over the past decade, the demand for long term data preservation and high-speed backup storage systems has increased astonishingly. European Union Data Retention Directive, Sarbanes Oxley and many other government legislations dictate the organizations to reliably preserve their financial data, tax documents and other critical organizational data for longer time periods.
The data-rich organizations turn to LTO media tape technology, as other tape-based solutions are unable to deliver fast data access, ample recording capacity and a trouble-free scalable path needed to do business today. Value-conscious IT managers prefer LTO ultrium format, because it is an open tape standard and provides them interoperability across all brands of LTO products. This unique feature secures your LTO tape investments and enables exchange of data in a heterogeneous LTO backup environment.
