Quantum Announces LTO-5 Tape Solutions
An economical medium for long-term data retention, archiving and disaster recovery, LTO-5 technology is now available in Quantum tape autoloaders and standalone drives and with limited availability in Quantum's Scalar® tape libraries. Compared to the previous LTO generation, the new LTO-5 tape drives nearly double the capacity and increase transfer rates by up to 15 percent, providing a much lower cost per gigabyte of data storage. LTO-5 also features greater energy-efficiency savings since it requires less power consumption and delivers lower cooling costs.
These innovations, along with native encryption, enhance tape's role in providing long-term data retention, archiving and disaster recovery as an integral component of a broader tiered storage strategy.
