IBM LTO-5 Ultrium Data Cartridge 1.5 TB / 3.0 TB LTO Ultrium-5 Tape Part # 46X1290

IBM LTO Ultrium 5 1.5TB Data Cartridge Part # 46X1290 –
High capacity tape media designed for high reliability and
long life. Highlights Highest capacity tape cartridge built and tested to
stringent LTO Ultrium Generation 5 specifications Provides up to 3 TB (with 2:1 compression) of capacity in
a single cartridge Available in rewritable and write once, read many
cartridge (WORM) models Custom as well as blank and RFID-imbedded cartridge
labels available All models support I/T data encryption standards New dual-partition capability designed to enhance the
performance of time-encoding applications and support future tape
innovations from IBM The ideal green storage for data centers, designed for
long data retention and archiving with no power required at rest Designed to help improve read/write reliability by
storing IBMs statistical media read/write analysis on every use of the
cartridge when used with IBM LTO tape drives Designed to adhere to widely supported Linear Tape-Open
(LTO) Ultrium design specifications Highest capacity LTO cartridge helps optimize your
storage requirements With explosive growth in data, many organizations are
struggling to manage, protect, mitigate risk, and maintain rapidly growing
information assets while ensuring compliance with industry regulations. IBM
invented the concept of magnetic tape computer storage back in 1952 and
continues to lead the industry in tape innovation today. And our latest
generation and largest capacity LTO media is designed to help control your
massive storage growth and demanding costs requirements associated with backup
and archiving. IBM LTO Ultrium Generation 5 media has been designed to
deliver exceptional capacity and reliability at a lower cost per GB than other
types of storage medium. Cartridge capacity of up to 3 TB (at 2:1 compression) helps
reduce the number of cartridges and the amount of equipment, space and labor
associated with tape-based storage. In addition, it helps reduce the time
associated with backup and restore operations by reducing the amount of
cartridge handling, further lowering operational costs. Features, quality and innovation you demand from IBM IBMs continuous development of innovative features and
reliability assures that IBM LTO cartridges provide not only the highest
reliability and data integrity that your business demands, but also support for
other critical requirements like data encryption and fast access to data for
time-critical applications. The fifth generation of LTO tape media, IBM draws on over 60
years of experience as the inventor and supplier to the world of tape media for
computer data storage. The latest generation adds advanced partitioning for
specific applications and is the foundation for future innovative tape media
capability. Cartridges have been optimized and tested extensively in
IBM LTO tape drives and tape libraries to help maximize performance, data
integrity and data longevity. They are designed to withstand the rigors of
normal use in both stand-alone and automated environments. Additionally, each
cartridge is embedded with an LTO cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip, which enables
fast, simultaneous transfer of cartridge-dependent data with IBM tape drives
during loading and unloading to help further increase reliability. The burgundy
cartridge color distinguishes it from previous generations of IBM LTO Ultrium
Media in your data center. IBM LTO Ultrium 5 data cartridges are compatible with LTO
Generation 5 tape drives and tape libraries utilizing LTO generation 5 drives
from IBM and other LTO generation 5 compliant suppliers. Features and Benefits 1.5 TB (3.0 TB with 2:1 compression) tape capacity Reduces manual intervention for tape operations, saving
you valuable IT staff time Reduces the physical storage space needed for backup
cartridges Rigorous testing and optimization Designed to withstand the demands of every day use Maximized performance and reliability in IBM LTO tape
drives Write once, read many (WORM) capability Safe long-term retention of reference data Assists in compliance with data retention regulations LTO hardware encryption compliments WORM media to
maintain data integrity IBMs statistical media read/write analysis stored on the
cartridge Improved read/write reliability to help assure your data
is protected LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip Fast sharing of cartridge-dependent data with tape drives Speeds up load and unload cycles Burgundy standard cartridge color Distinguishes the cartridges from previous generations of
IBM LTO Ultrium cartridges Two-tone WORM cartridge color Distinguishes WORM cartridges from standard cartridges Adheres to the Linear Tape-Open standard Cartridge can be used in products featuring LTO Gen 5
tape technology Cartridge continues to provide value as your storage
needs and infrastructure grow Tape is Green Environmentally friendly. Requires no power at rest Lower media costs per GB Media partitioning capability Enhances file control and space management DATA
