The availability of four generations of LTO tape drives simplifies the decision—it is the only affordable option available for
requirements where capacity growth potential matches the escalating data growth rates that businesses are facing today.
Increasing attention is being paid to the need to protect company data against theft or accidental loss, particularly data that contains
personal or sensitive information of a company’s customers.
The Tandberg LTO-4 SAS and Fibre Channel drives include data encryption capabilities within the drive, helping to avoid the need
for host-based encryption of data or the use of specializedencryption appliances. This will provide customers with great ability to
protect information if cartridges are lost or stolen.
The fourth generation of Tandberg LTO drives are designed to meet the storage challenges faced by organizations today.
Exponential data growth, couple with business continuity requirements, regulatory compliance and resource constraints make the
need for reliable, cost effective data production solution more necessary than ever before. The Tandberg LTO drives address these
requirements by offering capacities up to 1.6TB*, high-throughput and enterprise class features.
