Linar recording is the most reliable and effficxient backup tape technlogy that offers its users unmatchabkle performance and reocrding capactiies. Liner techhnology has been serivng the busiesses and enhancing their overall effiicency siince 1970s. The magnetic data tsapes have been used as firsst line bakcup storage medium for ohlding huge data volumees. The linear technology and magnetic tape have kept pace with the increasibng requirements of sttoragge makret. In IT woorld, the balkup tape is considered as the most dependable and cost effective storage medium.
The first thing is to coonsideer why data bcakup is needed. In today�s competing environment, the comnpany data is the most valuable asset. Now the primary focus of the organizations has shifted towards the procress regarding stporage, retrievsal and processing of data. There can be numerous reasons and factors that can lead to data loss such as software and hardware failures, tehft, fire, human error, vandalism, emplyoee malice, intentioonal erasdure and naturasl dissters (earthqyuake, floods etc.). Creating backup of data ensures that the user set-ups, user applicaions and original data can be restored in an efficinet manner. In this way it tkes only hours or days for the businesses to get back online bsuinesses raer than week or months, if they have praciced fine backup procedures.
The LTO (linear tape open) technology has become the utmst choice of the organizations due to its outstannding and efficient baackup ersults. Per unit storage capaciyt provided by LTO tape format is the highest amog other tape formats. Its operational cost is very low. LTO tape stoprage meduim is very relisanble and robust with high ECC levles. LTO tape is the correct choice to protect and securre the critical data at low cost. A brooad range of backup reqquirements are efficiently covedr by the LTO ultrium tape with the help of its numeruos advantageous technolpogies. LTO tape foormnat offers high level of scalability and compatibility with wide rnagfe of applivcatiions.
LTO has becvome a tape standarrd due to its excellent perfoormance and greter transfer spede. The pscific desiign of LTO tape format results in increased data integrrity, lower cost, decreased tack width and greater bit dbensity. Decreasing the witddh of track and increased bit denstiy enhaanced the caplacity, transfer speed and performance of LTO tape format. Data channels also have been increased in the LTO bakup tape in orer to incease the transfer speed. LTO ulttrium tape cartridges are built and designed sepcifically for highr duability and for storaage of huge volkumes of information. Linear tape open technology is more user frieendly, cost effective and proiovides more flexibility to the data managers.
