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:

Hardware Based Encryption
HPE LTO-4, 5, 6 and 7 LTO Ultrium tape drives support hardware-based encryption to enable greater levels of security:
AES 256-bit Encryption
- Easy-to-enable encryption for a secure backup
- Helps prevent unauthorized accessed of tape media if cartridges are lost or stolen
- Eliminates the need to purchase and manage additional h/w
No loss in performance of backup
The Yosemite Server Backup Basic backup and recovery software supports LTO-4, LTO-5,
LTO-6 and LTO-7 encryption and makes writing encrypted backups simple. A passphrase is entered and Yosemite Server Backup Basic creates and manages the encryption key.
TapeAssure HPE TapeAssure makes managing, optimizing and archiving on the HPE 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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise
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.
HPE TapeAssure is included as part of HPE Library and TapeTools for Windows users from LTT 5.0 onwards. Instructions and downloads of HPE Library and Tape Tools are available at:

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.

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, Read-Many) 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 generation 3 and higher tape drives feature the ability to archive and store data in a non­rewriteable 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 generation 3 and higher 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 tape drives 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 HPE WORM media that can store up to 15TB (LTO-7) 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 HPE LTO generation 3 and higher some third-generation LTO Ultrium tape drives from other manufacturers may not include read and write support for LTO Ultrium WORM media. For non-HPE 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.
