We have detailed in our previous news article, innovations in tape media storage. A key breakthrough in this technological field is HP StoreOpen software and LTFS (Linear Tape File System), and the introduction of Fuji LTO7 tapes and other high technology brands. This incredible software now makes LTO tape media file-based and self-describing, meaning a data tape can now be accessed and managed as easily as a hard disk or flash memory drive. The result of this is a high capacity, robust data management system which is easy to access and control. Long term back-up and archive data becomes easy...

PMD Data Solutions have expanded its range of innovative data management and archive technology solutions to include mLogic’s mTape LTO7 Thunderbolt external tape drive. The mLogic mTape is the world's first Thunderbolt enabled desktop external LTO7 tape drive. The drive has a compact form factor which sits neatly on your desktop and plugs directly into your MAC or PC via the high speed Thunderbolt2 interface, allowing data transfer speeds of up to 20gb/sec, using reliable and robust LTO7 data tape media. The mLogic mTape has dual Thunderbolt ports to enable daisy-chaining and is plug-and-play so takes very little time to...

TV Broadcast, educational and government departments understand that storing, securing, and repurposing data assets are fundamental to their success. The position of Data Tape as the ideal low-cost data archiving solution is being further strengthened, like never before. The business world is all a buzz! HPE LTO7 data cartridges take that evolution one stage further, offering outstanding capacity (15 TB per tape), performance (1.1 TB/hr native transfer speed) and the same innovation (LTFS, encryption) durability and scalability customers have enjoyed with earlier generations of LTO data cartridges. The HPE StoreEver MSL6480 with HPE LTO7 drives makes tape media the ideal...

LTFS (Linear Tape File System) has made a a huge contribution to the use of LTO Ultrium tape in the data storage industry. As storage capacity and data transfer speeds have increased, LTFS has enabled new uses of LTO Ultrium tape to manage and archive file content. The recent introduction of HPE LTO7 tape, with 15TB storage capacity and 750mb/sec transfer rates, makes LTFS even more useful in the management of files. LTFS allows an LTO tape to appear as a storage device, with a straight forward graphical interface. Users can drag and drop files, in the same way as...

Fuji LTO 7 Ultrium Data Tape with 15TB of data storage capacity per tape is now available. With speeds of up to 750MB/second, the transfer rates on LTO 7 are impressively fast - more than double that of previous generations of LTO tapes. Fuji LTO 7 tape media features Fujifilm’s proprietary Barium Ferrite (BaFe) tape coating technology, developed specifically for long-term archival storage. BaFe tape coating also enables massive enterprise-class storage capacities of up to 15TB per tape. This equates to 2.4 times the capacity of LTO 6 and 4 times the capacity of LTO-5. LTO 7 Ultrium technology also...
