TapeAssure health reports and alerts give you peace of mind knowing the condition of the drives, the

TapeAssure builds a database of drive and tape history information that you can export as .CSV

into the file system, and it becomes visible as a disk.

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.

SB1760c and SB920c can archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure,

• A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs
• Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM

• A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to
prevent accidental or intentional overwriting of data
• High-capacity, low-cost HPE WORM media that can store up to 3 TB (SB3000c) or1.6 TB
