Tandberg Data has announced the availability of the industry’s first LTO-6 Half Height (HH) Fibre Channel (FC) external desktop tape drive, capable of backing up 6.25TB* of data on a single cartridge. The new LTO-6 HH FC tape drive is particularly well suited for media, entertainment, broadcasting and imaging applications because it provides a highly cost-effective means of storing large video files, managing workflow within the production environment and simplifying archiving tasks.
For Mac® users, the LTO-6 HH FC tape drive delivers fast, portable backup and archiving when used with a Fibre Channel-to-Thunderbolt® bridge solution. The LTFS (Linear Tape File System) feature permits users to quickly access and share large files of digital assets. With the LTO-6 HH FC tape drive, for example, an hour of HD video (500GB) can be transferred in less than 50 minutes.
“LTO technology is known as the industry workhorse for affordable, reliable and robust data archiving and data preservation applications,” said Graham Paterson, EMEA senior vice president for Tandberg Data. “With Tandberg Data’s new LTO-6 HH FC external tape drive, even more users can take advantage of the technology, and Mac customers will especially appreciate the speed and portability of LTO tape for data transfer and off-site archival purposes.”

“The role of tape has shifted from pure backup to archive and data management,” said Simon Anderson, Tandberg Data tape product manager. “LTO tape offers the only long-term solution for managing data growth and reducing the cost of storage. Tape is the last line of defense in a comprehensive data protection strategy, and is even being deployed by well-known cloud providers that use the technology to safeguard their customers’ data.
“This ongoing reliance on tape is why Tandberg Data remains committed to providing tape innovations, such as the new LTO-6 HH FC external tape drive,” he added.
