Imation has enhanced data compression and servo technology, which enables the LTO-5 media to store more amounts of information on same length of data tape. In order to accommodate the data growth, the data center managers will not have to add more space.
Therefore the data administrators can store their existing footprints within lesser shelf space. Imation LTO-5 has a smoother tape surface, which has resulted in increased track density and reduced error rate.Most organizations use some form of tape media when it comes to data protection; however, some companies exclusively use data protection by storage systems. Now that the LTO-5 tape format is available, will that change how your organization views its data protection strategy?
Each Sony LTO-5 tape cartridge will offer massive capacity of 1.5 TB. High density r-encodings are enabled by the finely coated tape media of Sony LTO-5 tape. Storage capacity of Sony LTO-5 tape cartridge has been enhanced by increasing its data tracks.Sony data storage LTO-5 tape technology
Sony data storage manufacturer is going to launch its new high capacity LTO-5 backup tape format. The Sony LTO-5 tape technology will feature storage capacity of 3 Terabytes in compression mode. Storage media division of Sony Corporation has signed licensing contract of LTO-5 tape format with the LTO industry consortium.So far 4 generations of high speed LTO tape have been launched into the market. These LTO tape versions are LTO 1, LTO 2, LTO 3 and LTO-4 tape. These companies define the tape specifications of the different LTO tape generations. Now as the agreement has been signed, Sony will now start its production of high performance LTO-5 backup tape media.
Modern age servers, work-stations and data rich data centers require high speed storage technology. LTO5 tape storage technology has been engineered to support the demanding needs of these environments.Each Sony LTO5 tape cartridge will offer massive capacity of 1.5 TB that will double with 2:1 compression, thus reaching up to 3.0 TB. New generation LTO5 backup tape format offers an impressive 140 MB/sec transfer speed in native form. Sony LTO-5 tape cartridge’s transfer speed will increase by 100% percent in compressed mode just like in its previous four LTO tape generations. Therefore in compressed form, LTO-5 tape format’s transfer rate will reach 280 MB per second.
New High Capacity Sony LTO 5 Tape Cartridge Storage capacity of Sony LTO-5 tape cartridge has been enhanced by increasing the data tracks of its tape media.
This allows increased recording density and ensures greater recording capability. The tape reel of Sony LTO5 is much thinner and longer as compared to its previous generation LTO-4 tape.
High density recordings are enabled by the finely coated tape media of Sony LTO5 tape. Sony has utilized all of its experience and expertise in the LTO-5 tape technology so that it can meet the requirements of its customers.
Sony has redesigned its LTO-5 tape cartridges and has introduced a deeper label cavity that helps in better fitting of the labels. High speed LTO-5 is the only backup tape cartridge that features new partitioning functionality. Partitioning mechanism has been introduced to address the ever increasing requirements of the market segment. LTO5 tape's partitioning functionality assists in space management and file control.Therefore this allows faster searching. High capacity Imation LTO5 data tape delivers exceptional media reliability under harsh working conditions. Imation has employed advanced servo writing process in its LTO-5 tape cartridge, which assures increased read/write efficiency by optimizing the tape tracking.
