The fourth-generation HPE LTO4 Ultrium 1.6 TB RW Data Cartridge combines high capacity, low cost per GB and AES-256 encryption, reinforced by the HPE Brand specification – the industry’s most demanding media quality standard. New base film and coating technologies have increased the media's bit density, allowing more data to be stored in the same physical space. HPE LTO-4 tapes have 896 data tracks, compared to only 704 on Ultrium 3; the tape capacity has doubled. HPE’s Ultrium media is exhaustively qualified for use with HPE and non-HPE Ultrium products. A continuous testing program in HPE’s media laboratory guarantees the high levels of quality uniquely specified by Hewlett-Packard. IT managers, consultants, and network administrators will see a significant improvement in backup and restore functions, alleviating the pressure of managing an ever-increasing volume of critical data within an ever-shrinking backup window.
