subject: Backing Up Important Information With The Cost Efficient Quantum Lto 5 Tape [print this page] Many businesses often lose important information because of lack of protection. This lack of protection leaves networks open to all kinds of threats- external and internal ones. In the competitive corporate world of today many companies are willing to cut down the competition so that they have a hold over the market and can benefit by controlling the market without anyone else in the picture. Often big businesses are able to do this because of cartels and monopolize and they have the funds and resources to take advantage of unfair methods of ensuring that they are the only ones benefiting.
Such businesses employ hackers in order to hack into anothers system or database via online and offline networks. These hackers can retrieve important information which could harm them in the future and possibly lead to their shutdown. It is not uncommon to hear of hackers getting such information via legal means: the problem with this is that hackers often use methods that are actually legal in order to break into anothers database or computer system. Viruses may be used in order to do so as well. In fact, viruses are used in order to negatively affect computer systems so that are rendered useless and so that information can be put into the wrong hands. Many companies do not take the necessary steps required in order to prevent themselves from getting affected by such methods and they lose important information and have to start from scratch. If they are unable to do so due to lack of resources or funds and loss of information, they have to shut down completely. This really is a tragedy especially when the solution is so simple and affordable- backup technology. Such technology would enable companies to store important information on tapes and tape drives in case of loss of information.
The Quantum LTO5 tape is one such device that would allow companies to save up to 3.0 TB of information due to its compressed storage capacity and a 280 MB second data transfer rate. It also comes with backward compatibility so information stored in previous generations of the LTO tapes and so the information can be overwritten.
The LTO 5 cartridge requires the LTO5 tapedrive which comes with additional storage capacity and it requires less power than the LTO4 tapedrive. Since the latest technology is used to make the tapedrive it is far more efficient, economical and green than previous generations of the LTO tapedrives. The highest level of security is ensured due to the hardware based AES data 256-bit data encryption and so, the performance remains as impressive as ever.
The partitioning of the Quantum LTO5 tape allows users to treat it like a hard disk since it can also reformat itself making it the perfect backup technology for applications with large files.
In conclusion, the features of the LTO5 tape and its tape drive allows companies to store ample information on to these and so, should anything happen to the tapes, the tapedrive can always be used to retrieve important information.
