Features
Highest Capacity and Performance of any Comparable Tape Technology

• HP LTO-6 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering 1.4 TB/hour storing encrypting and protecting up to 3 TB on a single cartridge making it the big hitter in large-scale 24x7 mission-critical IT environments.


Ultra-reliable

• 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.


Secure

• Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) version provides tamperproof compliant data storage.


Value for money

• Standardizing on HP LTO-5 or LTO-6 Ultrium delivers the capacity to meet shrinking backup windows industry-standard AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1) and interchangeable RW or WORM media; without extra space or IT resource overhead.


• HP warrants Ultrium 1.6 TB RW cartridges for up to 30 years archival life and/or 260 full back ups. This ensures businesses can meet the ever increasing demands of regulation for data retention and archiving.
