Quantum LTO Tape Drive:
Now with DATASTOR Shield Deduplication Software
Quantum’s LTO stand-alone drives deliver a simple, affordable, all-in-one
data protection solution that customers can depend on. Many companies
can store all their data on a single cartridge, thanks to the tremendous
capacity LTO technology provides. In addition, companies can keep this
data secure using AES 256-bit encryption as tapes are transported offsite for disaster recovery or long-term archiving. Quantum’s LTO tape
drives are WORM capable, allowing companies from healthcare, financial,
and other related industries to meet tough regulatory requirements. LTO
technology offers backward read and write capability, providing an archive
tape recovery solution with newer-generation drives.
Linear Tape File System (LTFS) software allows customers to simply drag
and drop files to Quantum LTO tape drives as they would to a hard drive.
This eliminates the need for backup software and allows the information
written on tape to be exchanged easily between different users, operating
systems, and software. This is highly beneficial for many applications—
including media and entertainment, video and imaging, long-term archiving,
among others—where removing the dependence on a proprietary format
is important. LTFS is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Apple Mac
operating systems.
Quantum tape drives now include DATASTOR Shield™ backup software
with deduplication to supercharge your backup. Quantum and DATASTOR
have teamed up to provide the first backup with deduplication straight to
tape. This technology, which reduces backups significantly (up to 20x),
allows you to store more data per tape than competitive models.
