Overland-Tandberg introduces LTO tape drives and LTFS cross-platform management software. Combined, they make it easy to archive large amounts of data to tape. Compatible running Windows, MacOS, and Linux, the LTFS software utility allows Overland-Tandberg tape drives to be mounted and viewed directly from operating systems as large-capacity hard drives. Up to 18 TB native (45 TB compressed) of data can be stored on them in a simple and immediate way, thanks also to the drag and drop support.
High levels of reliability
In addition to remarkable ease of use, Overland-Tandberg tape drives allow you to benefit from costs per TB that are far lower than those of traditional hard drives. They also ensure maximum security thanks to the support of AES 256-bit encryption and guarantee very high levels of reliability over time. LTO tapes are, in fact, designed to retain stored information for up to 30 years.
Reduction of energy consumption
The benefits that belt technology offers in terms of environmental impact should also be underlined. In fact, using tape drives to store cold data reduces energy consumption by more than 80% compared to equivalent capacity HDD-based solutions. An aspect that has positive repercussions both on electricity bills and on CO2 emissions. LTO tapes, moreover, are made from materials recyclablea feature which, together with the long life over time, allows to reduce the generation of electronic waste to a minimum.
