IBM LTO-4 tape supports fast rate of 240 Mbps with compressed data. Voluminous 1.6Terabyte information can easily be backed on to the IBM LTO4 tape with increased scalability and data integrity. IBM ultrium-4 has the latest robust features that are specifically engineered to handle the massive increase in data volumes and demands of the businesses. IBM LTO-4 backup tapes deliver excellent results in all the HP ultrium products and other LTO brands as well. Unique color of the IBM LTO-4 tape helps the users to identify the data tape in mixed media environments. IBM has made advancements to the cartridge design of LTO4 data tape which prohibits the pulling of leader pin from the tape. This is a common problem found in other tape technologies but has been removed by IBM in its advanced ulitrum-4 tape technology. IBM LTO-4 is very efficient storage medium that offers its customers lowest cost per Gigabyte. Data access time has been significantly enhanced in the LTO-4 media technology as the data tapes contain a memory chip that is used for storing the index and history usage. The inclusion of LTO cartridge memory has also improved the media monitoring of IBM LTO-4.

In automation system it is very important that there should less amount of debris and wear so that the backup system can ensure high data throughput. The advanced cartridge architecture has reduced amount of wear and debris in IBM LTO-4 tape format. The LTO tapes are tested in the HP’s media laboratory under extreme working conditions. Media load/unload time in IBM LTO-4 tape drive is very fast and efficient. Heavy workloads do not affect the overall efficiency of the IBM LTO-4 tape format and continues to provide cost efficient results. Encryption technology has been introduced in the LTO-4 tape format by IBM to avoid misuse of critical information and un-authorized access. Encryption feature has further strengthened the LTO-4 ultrium’s data security.

The high capacity LTO-4 media designed by IBM helps provide organizations the capability to address the ever increasing backup storage demands at an affordable price. Massive capacity of the IBM LTO4 tape has helped the enterprises to backup their voluminous information on to fewer data tapes. Therefore it results in fast backup & restore operations thus increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the backup system. The media robustness of LTO-4 tape technology has been enhanced by IBM which enables it to deliver excellent and outstanding results in high demanding working environments. Huge 800GB physical capacity of IBM LTO-4 makes it the perfect cartridge for demanding applications.

Superior data integrity is maintained in IBM LTO-4 tape format as the information encrypted by the LTO4 tape drive can be recorded on the WORM and non-WORM tape media as well. The unique design of IBM LTO-4 assists in efficiently supporting the specification of LTO ultrium-4. Read/write reliability in IBM LTO-4 tape is far superior and efficient than other tape formats. The IBM LTO4 tapes need lesser space in the tape library due to their higher capacity per cartridge. Fewer cartridges will lead to less volume mounts in tape libraries.
