IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 100 GB
Data Cartridge
High capacity, performance and
reliability in a tape storage solution for open server environments
Highlights
- Provides the capacity, performance and
reliability for midrange and network tape storage environments
- Contains half-inch metal particle tape
that features a native data capacity of 100GB and a compressed data capacity
of 200GB
- Includes a Linear Tape-Open Cartridge
Memory (LTO - CM) chip that contains cartridge specific information to
communicate with Ultrium tape drives during loading/unloading via a radio
frequency component
- Adheres to widely supported Linear
Tape-Open (LTO) design
High capacity
By combining high storage capacity (100 GB native, 200 GB with 2:1 compression),
performance, and reliability, IBM LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges continue the IBM
commitment to enhancing tape technology. IBM LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges are
part of a long line of IBM data cartridges that help provide superior media
quality and reliability for organizations around the world.
Cost-effective design
Increasing cartridge capacity and performance can help reduce the amount of
equipment, space and human intervention required for daily tape operations. In
addition, reducing the number of cartridges needed for backup and restore
operations can help lower operational costs throughout the enterprise.
Advanced LTO-CM chip
IBM LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges, along with IBM Ultrium drives, support the
Linear Tape-Open Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip, which enables the IBM Ultrium
drive to read and write to the data cartridge by using a radio frequency
transmission. The LTO-CM enables fast, simultaneous transfer of
cartridge-dependent data with IBM Ultrium drives during media load and unload
cycles. This simultaneous exchange is designed to improve data access speeds by
eliminating the need to read/write cartridge-dependent data from the media after
it is loaded or before it is unloaded.
