Advance Dell LTO4 Tape Technology

Dell LTO4 tape format provides innovative data security features and the tape drive level encryption facilitates the enterprises to preclude the tampering of the information stored on the LTO-4 tape cartridges. The performance of throughput is not affected as the encryption in the Dell LTO-4 tape hardware is done at line speed. Therefore, the Dell LTO4 data tape devices enable the reduction of backup windows with transfer speed of 120MB per second (native). Its transfer rate is almost 50% quicker than that of the LTO-3 tape format's output performance. 

Data density and recording capacity of Dell LTO4 technology is double from its prior version (LTO 3 tape media) and has physical capacity of holding 800GB data. The information technology departments require high capacity, low cost, robust and reliable backup tape media for fulfilling their needs of long term archiving. There may be requirement of authenticity of fixed content in order to comply with the rigid regulation of data retention. It has to be assured that E-mails and media files while stored remain in its original form. It is better and essential that the administrators should thoroughly and carefully analyze the capabilities of backup tape technology before choosing the backup storage medium. 

Dell LTO tapes enable offline and low cost backups at remote locations. This portability of data helps the enterprises to restore the data in case of disaster situation on any available platform of hardware. If the original tape drives are destroyed or damaged, even then the restoration of data can be done by other drives. Important and effective role is played by Dell LTO-4 in data centers on basis of its strong attributes of high capacity, data encryption, fast speed and efficient mechanism for protection of archived content. The Dell LTO4 data tape devices enable the reduction of backup windows with transfer speed of 120MB per second (native).

LTO is open and scalable tape technology established for allowing compatibility of drive and tape among the vendors. 4th generation Dell LTO ultrium-4 is designed to deliver superior and outstanding performance and data security features. Single tape cartridge of Dell LTO4 is capable of recording double the amount of data with twice the transfer speed as that of LTO-3 tape technology.

So the data administrators the benefit of recording double the volumes of information in same space area. Dell LTO 4 tape format eases the path for up gradation as it allows the interchangeability of data due to the capability of reading & writing the non-encrypted LTO ultrium3 and reading the LTO2 data cartridges. Dell LTO technology offers high performance and high capacity streaming backup that are essential for management of supply chain, data mining and digital video. This significant enhancement in the data speed and recording ability in Dell LTO-4 has eased the stress on data management and also has reduced the ownership cost.

The Dell LTO-4 tape devices consume less power and are energy efficient that as a result reduces the ownership cost in data centers handling huge volumes of information. Dell LTO4 Power-Vault drives provides outstanding backup and archiving performance when they integrate with Dell ML-6000, TL-4000 and TL-2000 tape libraries or as stand alone external peripherals. LTO4 Power-Vault family supports native fiber channel (4Gbps) and SAS (Serial Attached SCSI 3Gbps).
