LTO8 Media Now Available
Published 15th November 2019 by Fiona Wilby
Tape is still a popular choice for archiving and storage. This is due to its high capacity, durability, transportability and low costs. Using LTO8 media can help with the retention of data sets subject to continuous long-term growth.
New technology means tape media has improved enormously. LTO-8 cartridges now offer 30 terabytes (TB) of compressed storage capacity and 12 TB of uncompressed capacity, with sustained data transfer rates of 750 megabytes per second (MBps) for compressed data and 360 MBps for uncompressed data.
Tape media is a safe option. It is impossible for a hacker to access tape drives that have archived and stored in a vault, making tape still one of the key ways to protect against the manipulation and theft of important media and data.
In the event a primary data centre goes down because of a natural disaster or human error, tape stored off site is a good option for the recovery of data.
Industries that we work with to supply tape media include sciences, media and film, entertainment and larger data centres who require secure storage and reliable back up of data.
We can also provide hassle free pre-labelled media, saving you time.
For reliable and secure storage and archiving of larger data sets, consider tape media. Contact us today on 0113 8800858 for pricing for all your tape array, drive and media needs.
