Utilizing Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology, the leading open
system tape created by a consortium of leading storage producers
including IBM, the Imation L1400 LTO 4U Tape Library gives
SMBs the flexibility they need to simultaneously manage rapid,
unpredictable growth in digital content while still meeting strict
industry regulations for retention, retrieval and recovery, and
relaying of data.

When equipped with LTO-5 tape drives, the Imation L1400 LTO 4U
Tape Library delivers the highest LTO storage capacity (up to 1.5 TB
native on each Imation LTO-5 tape cartridge, or up to 3.0 TB with 2:1
software compression) and data transfer rates (up to 140 MB/sec)
to date; this gives a total capacity of up to 72 TB native (144 TB with
2:1 compression). This combination of performance and capacity
enables SMBs to handle ever-increasing demands for data storage
while ensuring shorter, more efficient backup windows.

The Imation L1400 LTO 4U Tape Library contains four removable
cartridge magazines (two on either side of the unit), each offering
12 data cartridge slots for a total of 48 slots. In addition, the lower
left magazine includes a three-slot I/O station to help support
continuous library operation while importing and exporting media.
A bar-code reader is also standard, supporting the
library’s operation in
sequential or random
access mode.
