LTO 3 Tape Media By IBM Offers Affordable Backup Solutions

LTO ultrium format is no doubt the most dependable and efficient data storage technology that is serving the customers with its unprecedented performance and long durable life. IBM LTO-3 data format features high performance technologies so that it can cope with the modern era’s high demanding storage needs. IBM LTO-3 tape format offers an innovative technique called RWW (read-while write) which verifies the information being written in real time, thus ensuring decreased error rate. IBM LTO-3 tape is very durable and offers highly reliable protection features for archive applications that enable it to retrieve lost information with increased data integrity. The increasing needs of the E-businesses are high capacity, automation, fast access time, durability, data integrity and improved scalability. IBM has employed special features to the ultrium-3 media technology to fulfill all these above stated requirements of the enterprises.

The smaller size of IBM 24R1922 LTO-3 cartridge saves shelf space while its greater storage capacity decreases the quantity of cartridges required to backup voluminous data. Lesser energy is required by the IBM LTO-3 technology to carryout its data storage operations. Therefore, all these advantageous techniques & attributes of high capacity IBM ultrium3 enable it to deliver cost effective solutions. IBM LTO-3 tape offers all the necessary characteristics of a highly economical and efficient backup storage media such as low cost per GB, scalability, reliability and increased output frequency. Highly efficient IBM LTO3 allows for 400GB capacity in a single ultrium cartridge. With 2:1 compression, it can accommodate 800 GB information. The size of these IBM LTO3 tapes is very much smaller when compared to the other single reel data cartridges.

Media format for LTO-3 backup tape is intelligently developed by IBM to offer more storage capacity, fast and efficient data transfer with improved data throughput.  IBM LTO3 tapes are compatible with a vast range of applications and are very efficient and robust. Exceptional mechanical stability of ultrium-3 contributes to the improved data integrity and tape longevity. IBM LTO-3 tape is an efficient choice for high demanding applications. Data compression mechanism in IBM ultrium-3 is very reliable and enhances the process of data storage. The data compression system is very useful when utilizing a vast variety of backup applications.

IBM LTO3 is the ideal media format that delivers high streaming performance, open system server solutions, increased mechanical stability, stable data transfer speed, and enhanced open system reliability, unmatched performance, exceptional data reliability, large archive capacity and tape automation. A chip is included in all of the IBM LTO tapes which has memory capacity of 4-KB. The main idea is to records essential data related to index, usage history so that the tape drive can retrieve and use this data to make its backup tasks more efficient. The cartridge memory used in highly efficient IBM LTO-3 tape is an interface module which is specifically designed to record & retrieve the ultrium tape’s historical usage and other critical information.
