LTO Ultrium Technology

Linear Tape-Open technology was developed by three leaders in the storage industry - HP, IBM, and
Quantum - who brought together their combined expertise in tape technology to develop an entirely new
format based on the best of existing technologies. Because LTO Ultrium technology was a new format, it
required no cumbersome support of legacy formats, so it could be designed without compromising on
reliability or performance. The LTO Program, a consortium of the three technology provider companies,
has developed a well-defined six-generation roadmap.

Ultrium LTO-2 tape drive technologies from HP use a linear format of 384 tracks and 512 tracks
(respectively), writing eight tracks simultaneously. Ultrium LTO-3, LTO-4, LTO-5 and the new LTO-6 tape
drive features a breakthrough in recording technology by writing sixteen tracks simultaneously on a linear
format of 704 tracks, 896 tracks 1280 tracks and 2176 tracks (respectively). The data is written in a
serpentine pattern; the tape reverses direction after each set of tracks is written. This provides higher
density recording, enabling customers to lower costs and increase efficiency by storing more data on a
single tape in an industry standard format.

The LTO standard for backward compatibility is to write back one generation and read back two
generations; therefore:

First-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 230, HP Ultrium 232) read and write LTO 1 media
Second-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 460, HP Ultrium 448) read and write LTO 1 and
LTO 2 media.
Third-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 920, Ultrium 960) read and write LTO 2 and LTO 3
media and also read LTO 1 media.
Fourth-generation LTO Ultrium drives (Ultrium 1840, Ultrium 1760) read and write LTO 3 and LTO 4
media and also read LTO 2 media.
Fifth-generation LTO Ultrium drives (Ultrium 3280, Ultrium 3000) read and write LTO 4 and LTO 5
media and also read LTO 3 media.
Sixth-generation LTO Ultrium drives (Ultrium 6650, Ultrium 6250) read and write LTO 5 and LTO 6
media and also read LTO 4 media.

As part of the LTO open standard, all HP tape drives and media offer the same standards of compatibility
with tape drives and media manufactured by other LTO vendors.

LTO data compression (LTO-DC) is an enhanced version of Advanced Lossless Data Compression (ALDC)
hardware compression. Compression is automatically turned off if the compressed data would cause an
overall expansion in data size, hence optimizing the available capacity on the media. Data compression is
also turned off if data is found to be uncompressible; thus, allowing for better data scans. The system is
used in all LTO Ultrium tape drives.

The decision about which tape technology you should buy next should be based on your future, not your
past, investment. Choose the LTO Ultrium format when you need the following advantages:

Maximum reliability, capacity and performance
Compatibility with a broad range of operating systems and servers (e.g., a mixed system
environment)
A legacy-free technology that uses the best attributes from a wide range of tape technologies
without any compromises for backward compatibility requirements
A solid roadmap for future generations of the technology
An open format available from multiple vendors
Lowest media cost of any 'superdrive' tape technology

TapeAssure

HP TapeAssure makes managing, optimizing and archiving on the HP LTO Ultrium tape drives easier. This
tool provides additional management and monitoring capabilities including:

Life and health information for media and drives
Information on media and drive utilization and operational performance
Notifications of drive and media characteristics that fall below HP recommended standards

TapeAssure health reports and alerts give you peace of mind knowing the condition of the drives, the
tapes and the data on each tape. TapeAssure monitors every backup to ensure the highest standards of
reliability, sends alerts when these standards are not met, and ensures that you can maintain the drives
and tapes used in an archive environment to have the highest integrity.

HP TapeAssure is included as part of HP Library and TapeTools for Windows users from LTT 5.0 onwards.
Instructions and downloads of HP Library and Tape Tools are available at:

http://www.hp.com/suppport/tapetools

Linear Tape File System
(LTFS)

LTFS makes tape self-describing, file-based, and easy-to-use, it also provides users with the ability to use
standard file operations on tape media for accessing, managing and sharing files with an interface that
behaves just like a hard disk. In addition, LTFS provides the ability to share data across platforms, as you
would with a USB drive or memory stick. Simply load a tape into the drive, mount it into the file system,
and it becomes visible as a disk.

Data Rate Matching

Data Rate Matching combines sophisticated buffer management with HP's exclusive Variable Adaptive
Tape Speed technology to allow the tape drive to match its transfer rate to the host speed dynamically
and continuously across the wide range of transfer rates. This feature ensures that the tape drive
continues to stream data regardless of the environment, and brings two big advantages:

It optimizes backup performance, regardless of the speed of the host or the network
It minimizes rewinding and repositioning of the tape, reducing wear and increasing reliability

WORM (Write-Once, Read­Many) Drive and Media
Support

Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store and
manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies such
as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies that can verify the
integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years.

LTO-3, 4 and 5 tape drives feature the ability to archive and store data in a non-rewriteable format that
meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a combination of integrated fail-safe features in the
drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape formatting, LTO Ultrium drives can archive large amounts of
data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure, untampered state. Since all LTO-3, 4 and 5 tape drives
include support for both rewritable and WORM media, IT organizations can now easily integrate a secure,
long-term archiving solution into their current data protection strategy. As compared to other
technologies that feature support for WORM storage, LTO-3, 4 and 5 offers the advantages of:

A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs
Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM data
cartridges
A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to prevent
accidental or intentional overwriting of data
High-capacity, low-cost HP WORM media that can store 800GB (LTO-3), 1.6TB (LTO-4) or 3TB (LTO-

5) of data on a single data cartridge
Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most comprehensive and
mainstream support in the industry
The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all third-generation
Ultrium products

NOTE:

While all HP LTO-3, 4 and 5 tape drives support LTO Ultrium WORM media, some third-generation
LTO Ultrium tape drives from other manufacturers may not include read and write support for LTO Ultrium
WORM media. For non-HP LTO-3 and LTO-4 tape drives, please check the manufacturers' specifications to
ensure this support is provided if you are using your WORM media. If WORM support is not provided, the
drive will eject the WORM tape cartridge immediately upon insertion into to the tape drive.
