Marketing description

HPE Ultrium tape technology has been designed to deliver exceptional reliability and performance at the lowest cost per GB. The Ultrium format builds on the best of existing technologies; open standards increase innovation and widen customer choice in terms of performance, capacity, and form factor. Backed by HPE's exhaustive media qualification process, HPE Ultrium data cartridges support all HPE StorageWorks and non HPE Ultrium tape devices. Assuming 2:1 compression, the latest fourth Generation products minimize interruption to network and SAN backup by being capable of protecting 1TB/hour of data and storing up to 3.0 TB on one piece of media (almost double the capacity of HPE LTO-4 Ultrium tapes).

Key selling points

• High capacity and performance
• Ultra-reliability

Product features

• High capacity and performance
  HPE LTO-1 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering speed, storing, encrypting and protecting up to 200 GB on a single cartridge, making it the big hitter in large-scale, mission-critical IT environments. Smoother base film and smaller magnetic particles increase the bit density, allowing more data to be recorded in the same amount of tape.
• Ultra-reliability
  Superior "smart grabber" mechanism and mechanical interlock to prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing. Sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape.
