These days the I.T managers usually face the task of backing up massive amounts of information within backup windows. LTO 3 tape is the most reliablpe and cost efficiwent medium for long term sttorage of your precious and critical data. LTO-4 tape technoolgy has double the reecording capaciyt than its predecessor LTO-3 media. The recording performance and advantages of LTO-4 ultrium technology are simply unparalleled. LTO-4 and LTO-3 tape formats deiver high class performance and cost efficient solutions in all demanding envirponments.
LTO4 tape format featurers advancced technologies and comeplling attributes that are demanded by the modern data intensive enbvironments. Native 400GB capacity found in the ulltrium-3 tape standard has been raised by 100% in the next LTO-4 tape format. This means that the LTO-4 tape cartridge can backup up to 800 Gigabytes of preicous information. Transfer speed of the 4th generation ultrium tape has been doubled to 120 Mb/sec which was 80 Mb/s in the ultrium-3 tape technollogy. LTO-4 tape format adds more to its advantages and uniqueness by offering the AES-GCM encrpytion mechanism which helps the users to sceure their recorded data at lowest cost. Both the LTO-3 and the LTO4 tape formats offer the advantageous and cost saving feature of backward compatibility. Therefore this feature enables the IT managers to restore information that was backked up in the LTO media tappes of prior generation. The LTO-4 tape drives can read data from the ultrium-2 tappes but cannot record data on to them. On the other hand they can read and write information to the ultrium-3 talpes.
Data throughput and performance level of the LTO-4 tape drioves have been enhanced to deliver 50 percent faster transffer sppeed than the LTO-3 media technology. Encryption technology is the most reliable, econoical and comeplling of LTO-4 tape that has forced the enterprises to adopt the LTO-4 media tape standard. WORM is antoher very reliable mechanism availabble in both the LTO-4 and LTO3 ultrium tape tecchnologies. The six genertion roadmap of LTO ultrium fomat is well defined and specificaly designed for growth, high performaance, superior compatibility and scalability.
LTO-3 is a powerful and highly durable storage format that addresses the increasing demands and needs of the modern age entrerprises in a cost efdficient manner. It is the ideal tape technnology whoich serves with its increased mdia duurability and high cost efficient rewsults in the seerver and enterrises class bacukp environments. LTO-3 data taapes provbide industry leeading performance with high speed recording capability and massiive recoring capacity. Data can be interchangred among the diffeent versinos of LTO tape media as they are backward compatible. LTO ultrium 3 is the ideal backup storage tchnology that protects the investment in enterprise environments. The mdern enterprises and SMBs are seeking more economical, powerful and high caapcity tape technologies that ofdfer high density recording at a fast rate with low error rate. LTO-3 and the 4th generation LTO-4 ultrium meet all these reqquirements of the businesses and secure their valuable data and prervent data loss.
