Although disk-based backup is
becoming a key element of any
storage network, don’t assume that
tape innovation is stagnating.
The reality is quite the opposite. HP has never stopped
developing innovative new tape technologies with
faster backup speeds, larger capacities and exciting
new features. That means the total cost of ownership
of tape solutions is decreasing, while at the same time,
tape is reducing costs and improving efficiencies in
other areas, like regulatory compliance. Together,
this gives you greater choice in designing and
implementing the most successful backup plans for
your business’ unique needs.

HP LTO-4 Ultrium— faster, bigger and safer than ever
Three generations of LTO Ultrium technology have
made it the format of choice for organizations with
vast automated tape libraries and billions of files
to store and protect.

LTO-4 Ultrium offers 1.6 TB on a single cartridge
1.6 TB is equivalent to 80,000 trees made into paper
and printed. New media and drive technology have
created a solution that is double the capacity and 25%
faster than LTO-3, with built-in encryption capability
and a Write Once Read Many (WORM) option.

LTO-4 Ultrium—compact and fast
The HP StorageWorks LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 Tape Drive
can write or read data at a blistering 240 MB/sec,
equivalent to over 860 GB per hour, making it ideal
for large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments.
Put another way, it only takes 4.2 seconds to back
up 1 GB of data. Such is the increase in capacity that
the amount of storage media required to backup a
dataset is cut by 75% compared to LTO-2.

Encryption enabled
With HP LTO-4 Ultrium, AES-256 bit key encryption
becomes a straightforward part of everyday backup
and archiving, rather than some specialized function
requiring extra devices, resource and cost.

As a co-inventor of the LTO Ultrium format, we not
only offer HP StorageWorks hardware solutions, we
design and test our media to be one of the most reliable
data backup products available. This combination of hard-
ware manufacturing and extreme media testing helps us
create one of the most reliable storage solutions offered.

We believe that the future of tape
and tape automation is secure
for off-site, backup copies and to
meet legal requirements.
