Overview

HPE StoreEver LTO Ultrium Tape Drives

The HPE LTO Ultrium family of tape drives is Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s premier line of backup and archiving equipment. Based on the LTO Ultrium format, an open standard with a clear twelve-generation roadmap, HPE LTO Ultrium tape drives offer customers the best investment protection option. Considered the ultimate in reliability and ease of use, even at 100 per cent duty cycle, HPE’s rugged design is based on superior LTO technology and adds advanced features such as hardware data encryption to create a new level of data protection. Tape drives use dynamic data rate matching to adapt to the speed of the host, reducing wear and tear on the drive and media and improving performance, even on slower hosts. The tape drive family also supports HPE Library and Tape Tools, which provide diagnostics and performance optimisation. If data is critical to your business, protect it with HPE LTO Ultrium tape drives.

HPE StoreEver LTO-9 Ultrium 45000 Tape Drive

The HPE LTO-9 Ultrium 45000 tape drive represents Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s ninth generation of LTO tape drive technology, with up to 45TB of storage per cartridge (at a 2.5:1 compression ratio), as well as easy-to-use support for LTFS and AES 256-bit hardware data encryption, and easy-to-enable security to protect the most sensitive data and prevent unauthorised access to cartridges. data and prevents unauthorised access to cartridges. With data transfer rates up to 300 MB/sec (native), its Speed Matching feature further optimises performance by matching host speed to keep drives running smoothly and increase drive and media reliability. HPE LTO Ultrium half-height drives are designed for server customers in direct attached storage (DAS) environments. Ultrium 45000 tape drives provide investment protection with full read and write support for LTO-8 media. By increasing the capacity of previous-generation Ultrium drives by 50 per cent, Hewlett Packard enterprise customers now require fewer data tapes to meet their storage needs, dramatically reducing IT costs and increasing ROI.
