DLT Tapes

As backup and archive environments become more complex, the need for capacity and manageability continues to grow. That’s why the DLTtape S4 cartridge offers massive capacity and fully leverages the DLTSage Management Suite, giving IT professionals the tools they need to protect, secure and manage their data. DLTSage includes DLTSage Tape Security, which prevents unauthorized access to data on tape cartridges, including those that must be transported offsite. In addition to providing data security, DLTSage offers DLTSage WORM (Write Once Read Many) capability to address regulatory requirements and DLTSage management and monitoring tools to help assess the health of your DLT system.

Sony’s new LTO-5 cartridge further builds on the strong performance and reliability improvements achieved in previous Sony LTO generations. Two technologies were developed to achieve these new storage requirements. The first was a newly enhanced super-fine metal particle, which leads to more stable write/read characteristics in a variety of usage environments. The other was a strong binder system with high cross-linking and abrasion-resistance, which increases the durability of the magnetic layer – helping Sony LTO5 cartridges withstand tens of thousands of passes between the head and the tape.
