Tape Media

Management of exponential data growth continues to be one of the great challenges for IT managers in light of shrinking IT budgets and environmental concerns. Tape storage is indeed alive and is the key to success in meeting the data growth challenge in a reliable, cost effective and environmentally safe manner!

Studies show that the total cost of ownership of LTO 5 tape systems is 15X less than disk for long term data archives while disk consumes 238X more energy to store the same amount of data. Tape systems have further advantages such as greater capacity with potential density increases, better reliability, ease of removability and scalability, and support of WORM and encryption. With LTFS (Linear Tape File System) making tape faster and easier to use, tape is truly the ideal solution for long term data storage, now and in the future!

Fujifilm's linear tape-open (LTO) ultrium 6 is the first in the world produced with Barium ferrite magnetic particles using Fujifilm's core NANOCUBIC technology. The Fujifilm LTO Ultrium 6 data cartridge offers a super high native/compressed storage capacity of 2.5/6.25TB, transfer rates upto 160/400MB per second, WORM capability and LTFS dula partitioning functionality to facilitate the management. Fujifilm's Barium Ferrite magnetic particles are chemically stable leading to enhanced performance and longer archival life. Fujifilm's LTO Ultrium 6 and future generations of LTO will use Barium Ferrite with NANOCUBIC technology for a thin and uniformly coated magnetic layer. Barium Ferrite id Fujifilm's patented technology.

"LTO Ultrium 6 cartridge", a magnetic tape media certified by the Linear Tape Open (LTO) Technology Provider Companies (TPC). Fujifilm achieved the super high compressed capacity of 6.25TB with a transfer rate up to 400MB/sec. by applying Fujifilm's original Barium Ferrite magnetic particles to the current NANOCUBIC technology.
