LTO Storage
LTO tape has been the go-to backup and archive medium for companies in media, healthcare, finance, and other such industries that have stringent regulatory or data integrity requirements.
Unbeatable LTO Performance
LTO is one of the safest and cost-effective forms of storage around. It provides an air-gapped archive for your files to ensure they're secure against all forms of digital assault or machine failure, and because the media itself is relatively inexpensive you can store vast amounts of data with ease.
LTO also provides high capacity storage that can be transported offsite and interchanged for collaboration, disaster recovery, or long term archiving. Since its introduction it remains the number one technology used in backup, archive, content offload and file transport. The reason is simple: it's highly reliable and highly cost-effective.
Symply’s stand-alone LTO SAS tape drive delivers an affordable environmentally friendly solution that businesses can rely on for backup and archiving of data. All SymplyLTO SAS drives are fully compatible with Linear Tape File System (LTFS) software that enables a familiar drag and drop interface, allowing users to move files to tape storage in the same as they would with a conventional hard drive solution. LTFS can also reduce the need for specialist backup/archive software, allowing different users to easily interchange data on Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems.
Until now many Desktop LTO tape SAS connect products feature large form factors that were noisy and not great for desktop environments. Other manufacturers used inexpensive and off-the-shelf design-compromised chassis with low-cost components. With the introduction of SymplyPRO SAS that’s all changed.
