HP C7973W Dépliant
Dual formats
Like generation 3, HP LTO-4 Ultrium not only comes in
a read, write (RW) format but also write once, read
many (WORM). This allows customers to create secure
copies of all their data for legislative compliance—
e.g., the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC Rule 17a for
companies operating in U.S. financial markets and
services, along with other compliance regulations
around the globe.

100% compatibility
When the LTO Ultrium technology was developed, it
was created as an open platform. This means that
HP LTO-4 Ultrium will work in approved LTO-4
hardware. With this technology, businesses have the
opportunity to standardize all of their storage tape
on HP regardless of the hardware.

When it comes to archiving and compliance—
nothing beats tape.
Increasing awareness of the sensitive nature of business
data has forced many companies to go to greater
lengths to protect their data more stringently.

lengths to protect their data more stringently.
In the wake of scandals and data security scares,
government and industry regulators have pursued an
aggressive strategy that compels organisations to file
almost everything, in perfect order, forever. Compliance
and archival data demand is estimated to grow
between 20-70% a year and is now the fastest growing
segment of the storage industry. Analyst IDC estimates
the costs of compliance with data privacy laws will
skyrocket to approximately $21 billion by 2011.

In most cases, data protection can be far less costly than
data breaches. A company with 10,000 accounts to
protect can spend as little as €5 per customer account
for data encryption (source: Gartner Inc). But the cost
per lost record ranges from €20 to €115 to fund
activities like customer notification, credit protection
and account number changes (source: ESG). And this
doesn’t take into account the potentially fatal damage
to a brand or organization’s reputation.
