Description
Quantum 1U Rackmount Kit including 1-LTO-8 Half-Height Tape Drive (optional second drive)
Quantum’s LTO 8 tape drives deliver a simple, affordable, 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 off-site 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.
LTO 8 tapes can store 12TB native, up to 30TB compressed and up to 240 TB using DataStor Shield backup software with deduplication. (Assumes 2.5:1 compression for LTO-8; 20:1 deduplication for DATASTOR Shield.)
