HPE LTO Ultrium-6 2.5TB RW Data Cartridge with Case, Purple

Bring unparalleled data security to your organization with the LTO Ultrium-6 2.5TB RW Data Cartridge with Case, a highly reliable offline storage medium that creates an air gap to safeguard your data from cyber threats. Endorsed by agencies like the US FBI, this offline storage solution disconnects your data from the network, putting it out of reach of cybercriminals who exploit digital networks to compromise both primary data and backups.

This LTO Ultrium-6 cartridge comes with built-in AES 256-bit encryption (available from LTO-5 to LTO-9), offering an extra layer of security for your stored data. Even if the tapes were to fall into the wrong hands, the LTO encryption, further bolstered by the option to use WORM cartridges, ensures your data remains protected from unauthorized access.

When it comes to long-term archiving, the LTO Ultrium-6 2.5TB RW Data Cartridge offers the lowest total cost of ownership. As per a white paper from ESG, LTO tape technology proves to be over 80% less expensive over a decade than all-disk or all-cloud solutions for a 1 PB archive growing at 10% per year.

The HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges are designed to meet shrinking backup windows, offering industry-standard AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1), and interchangeable read-write (RW) or WORM media, without requiring extra space or IT resources. The open standard technology ensures compatibility across product generations and offers you more flexibility. These cartridges are available as custom labeled or non-custom labeled and undergo rigorous HPE brand qualification test procedures for maximum reliability in data restoration.

Experience the highest capacity and performance with HPE LTO-9 Ultrium data cartridges, capable of writing or reading data at a remarkable native 1.44 TB/hour. These cartridges can store, encrypt, and protect up to 45 TB on a single cartridge, making them ideal for large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments. A significant increase in the number of tracks and bit density has allowed a capacity increase from 30 TB for LTO-8 to 45 TB for LTO-9.

The LTO Ultrium-6 2.5TB RW Data Cartridge is an ultra-reliable storage medium, boasting a bit error rate (BER) of 1x10 to the power of 19 for LTO-8, making it 10,000 times more reliable than enterprise SATA HDD. The superior 'smart grabber' mechanism and mechanical interlock prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing, while sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that could ruin the tape. The simplified tape path reduces wear, tear, and debris build-up, crucial for automation.
