HPE StoreEver LTO Ultrium External Tape Drive
Tape Drives-Ultrium

Overview:

HPE StoreEver LTO Ultrium Tape Drives represent eight-generations of LTO technology capable of storing up to 30TB per cartridge, with hardware data encryption, HPE StoreOpen with LTFS for ease of use at an unprecedented performance. Data hardware encryption using AES 256-bit provides easy-to-enable security to protect the most sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access of tape cartridges. Linear Tape File System (LTFS) is an open format for storing data on tape that makes LTO generation 5 and later tapes self-describing and file-based. Capable of data transfer rates up to 300 MB/s native, the Data Rate Matching further optimizes performance by matching host system speed to keep drives streaming, thus enabling a faster tape performance.

The family of HPE LTO Ultrium tape drives is the Hewlett Packard Enterprise premier line of backup and archive devices. Based on the LTO Ultrium format, an open standard with a well-defined twelve-generation roadmap, HPE LTO Ultrium tape drives offer customers the best choice for investment protection. With ultimate reliability and ease of use in mind, even at 100% duty cycles, the HPE rugged design builds on superior LTO technology and adds advanced features like hardware data encryption to create a new level of data protection. The tape drives employ dynamic data rate matching to adjust to the speed of the host, reducing wear and tear on both drive and media and increasing performance, even on slower hosts. The family of tape drives also features support for HPE Library and Tape Tools which provides diagnostics, and performance optimization. If data is critical to your business, protect it with an HPE LTO Ultrium tape drive.
