provide greater security. HP’s implementation meets the 
current draft of IEEE 1619.1 tape encryption standard 
giving you peace of mind that if a tape goes missing, 
the data it contains cannot fall into the wrong hands. 
LTO-3 and LTO-4 WORM tape technology wins over 
other storage options because it offers the lowest price 
per gigabyte and a durable archival medium. Future 
tape roadmaps will ensure that this advantage continues 
for the foreseeable future. 
Green cartridge, green technology
LTO Ultrium is not only the fastest growing and most 
reliable tape technology for enterprise level data 
centers; It may also be environmentally friendly 
compared to other alternatives like disk. 
A recent report from the Clipper Group found that if 
electrical rates remain the same, the cost to acquire,
power and cool disk systems for five years is almost 
eight times that of automated tape systems. And if 
electrical rates continue to rise, the potential savings 
will be even greater. With lower heat output, tape drives 
can be packed more closely together. That saves space 
without causing cooling costs to go through the roof. 
Factors like this may make tape especially attractive 
for businesses looking for more ways to “go green,” 
often in response to governmental or company 
leadership mandates.
