In today’s competitive and instrumented business world, you have to be on your toes all the time. With the rise of E-commerce, you need to transfer and receive tremendous data amounts and must ensure fast access. So the risk of data loss also increases and you must have a plan to handle such disastrous situations. Periodic data backups provide complete peace of mind in event of tampered or lost data.
Majority of the fast-paced business enterprises and data-rich companies across the globe trust LTO ultrium tape technology. HP Hewlett-Packard is the co-developer of this intelligent and economical tape-based format. HP’s LTO portfolio extends to the newest LTO-5 media tape system.
If you are a data administrator of medium or small organization, then you should install the first generation HP LTO-1 tape system. It offers ample storage capacity, exceptional compatibility and remarkable throughput speed. HP ultrium-232 is a robustly designed LTO1 drive and the C7971A is the LTO-1 media tape cartridge. HP LTO 1 tape stores native 100GB & compressed 200GB information. Its small size will help save more shelf space, whereas the higher storage capacity allows superior management of growing data volumes. You can retrieve the recorded data from HP C7971A ultrium tape by using any brand of LTO-3, LTO2 or LTO 1 drive. This exceptional media interoperability allows the HP LTO 1 customers to transfer their valuable and sensitive data across different LTO platforms.
HP ultrium-232 drives features robust and compact design architecture, along with a durable drive head to ensure precise data tracking and reduced tape friction. HP LTO 1 drive reliably stores huge amount of data at a speed of 115 GB/hour (compressed rate). The most powerful and cost-saving feature of this HP ultrium-232 drive is its ability to write & read all LTO1 media tape brands. So you won’t experience any problem when you are operating in a heterogeneous LTO environment. You don’t have to purchase new LTO drives to extract data from various brands of LTO 1 tapes. A single HP ultrium-232 can do this job efficiently, while maintaining highest level of reliability. For those who are curious about other famous LTO1 tape brands, I have mentioned here a few: LTX100G (Sony), D2404-100 (TDK), 183800 (Maxell), 41089 (Imation), 08L9120 (IBM) and 26200010 (Fuji).
HP C7971A ultrium cartridge comes standard with 4-K memory chip, which plays a key role in accelerating the media loading time and improving the data searching time. It has the robustness to withstand vibrations and reduce the risk of potential damage if it accidentally drops.
HP ultrium-232 drive supports a wider range of HP and non-HP servers. The HP-branded servers include 9000, Integrity, Proliant ML and ProLiant DL servers. On the other HP ultrium-232 drive can efficiently backup data from IBM, Sun and Dell-branded servers. Another exclusive feature introduced in Ultrium-232 drive is the “data rate matching” functionality. This innovative mechanism controls the drive speed and adjusts it accordingly with the server’s incoming speed. So the mechanical wear-and-tear of drive head is sharply reduced and the drive can seamlessly perform its operations.
