As database- and Internet-related applications require greater data storage, and critical operations demand minimized downtime due to backup operations, new cost-effective solutions are needed. LTO Ultrium ultra-high-capacity cartridge is such a solution. With storage capacity of up to 1.6TB (2:1 compressed; 800GB native) and data-transfer rates of 240MB/s (2:1 compressed; 120MB/s native), LTO Ultrium data cartridges serve the needs of network servers, enterprise computers, and other demanding environments. And Fujifilm's advanced tape technologies, including its innovative servo-writing and NANOCUBIC technologies, translate into solid reliability as well as high performance.
FUJIFILM's NANOCUBIC technology realized LTO G4 data cartridge to have the capacity of 1.6TB (at 2:1 compression; 800GB native) by recording 896 tracks within 12.65mm tape width. Also with the utilization of multi-channel recording technology, LTO G4 data cartridge featured transfer rates of up to 240MB/sec. (at 2:1 compression; 120MB/sec. native).
LTO Ultrium technology relies heavily on timing-based, high-precision servo control to achieve its remarkable performance levels. LTO Ultrium data cartridge uses dual servo tracks that have been precisely written along the entire length of each of its four data bands, for extremely fine placement control and redundancy in the event of tape damages.
NANOCUBIC technology improves the smoothness of tape-surface, which helps extend the head-lifetime and outputs high durability by the decrease of error even in rigorous use.
LTO Gen 4 systems will introduce for the first time to midrange tape storage the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption algorithms to keep data secure. The hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption capability of the new Gen 4 format offers higher level of security during storage and transporting of sensitive information.
WORM (Write Once Read Many) functionality provides a cost-effective means for storing data in non-rewriteable format to help address compliance requirements.
Library pack is also available.
The library pack protects the cartridges against impact if dropped and provides also added protection against dust and humidity. It's a good and safe storage and archival solution offering easy and quick unpacking, carrying and piling.
