Optimal data security
To comply with regulatory requirements and preserve  
stakeholder trust, organizations must protect data from  
unauthorized access and unintentional loss. Tape cartridge  
portability facilitates remote, offline data storage for superior 
protection from natural or manmade threats that can impact 
online or onsite data storage. IBM LTO Ultrium 6 data car-
tridges are compatible with LTO Ultrium 6 tape drives, which 
offer device-level data encryption to ensure data privacy and 
reduce the risk of data corruption due to virus or sabotage.  
The WORM cartridge model stores data in a non-erasable,  
non-rewritable format to prevent overwriting of stored  
data and reduce the risk of data loss due to human error.
Linear Tape File System support
LTO Ultrium 6 supports tape partitioning and Linear Tape File 
System (LTFS), making tape storage an even more compelling 
solution for data protection and preservation. With LTFS, the 
data files are indexed to facilitate search and retrieval using  
disk-like directory tree structures and drag-and-drop tech-
niques. LTFS allows users and applications to directly retrieve 
files from tape rather than rely on proprietary, third-party 
applications, thereby significantly enhancing data access and 
potentially reducing software licensing costs and dependencies.
