Quantum’s LTO tape drives are an ideal solution for backing up small data sets to tape and are available in a variety of form factors to help you store, manage, and protect your data.
Tape is a Key Part of a Comprehensive Data Protection Strategy Backing up data using the backup best practice rule such as 3-2-1-1 = 3 copies of your data, in 2 different forms of media, 1 copy offsite (cloud) and 1 copy offline (on-prem tape) – is crucial for every organization, no matter what the size of the budget or the IT staff is.
Quantum offers LTO-9, LTO-8, and LTO-7 tape drives in a half-height form factor, and every tape drive sold includes DATASTOR backup software with deduplication to provide a complete backup solution.
Quantum LTO Tape Drives Provide a Simple, Reliable Solution Quantum LTO Tape Drives deliver fast, reliable data protection at an affordable price. They offer backup speeds up to 750 MB'sec** and when paired with an LTO-9 cartridge, you can store up to 45 TB** (compressed) of data on a single cartridge gaining more than 50% storage capacity in the same footprint.
