IBM LTO4 data tapes have an enormous storage capacity with 2:1 compression. With this compression ratio, the capacity of IBM LTO-4 tape cartridge is doubled in compressed form, which is 1.6 Terabyte and 800GB (native). IBM LTO4 ultrium format incorporates special innovative features that reduce the human interventions for backup storage operations. Therefore this saves valuable time of the I.T staff and leads to reduced operational costs. The IBM LTO-4 media cartridges require lesser physical storage space. IBM tests all the LTO backup tapes and optimizes them to provide remarkable backup solutions at an affordable price. Advantageous technologies added to the IBM LTO-4 tape cartridges enable them to withstand the increasing demands of data intensive applications. IBM LTO-4 ultrium technology assists the data administrators to improve their overall management’s efficiency thus leading to increased output level. Long term secure storage of critical data is ensured by IBM LTO-4 data tapes at lowest cost per GB. The intelligent IBM LTO-4 format assists the organizations in compliance with the strict information retention regulations.

Superior data integrity is maintained by the reliable features of IBM LTO-4 tape. IBM also manufactures the LTO-4 backup media having the WORM capability. Durable & highly smooth base film of LTO-4 ultrium ensures maximized output characteristics and outstanding mechanical stability. The IBM LTO drives are specifically engineered to offer superior compatibility and high output characteristics in harsh environmental conditions. IBM LTO-4 is the top most choice of the clients. IBM has included a memory chip in the fourth generation LTO cartridge which holds the statistical analysis of media reading & writing. This information helps the backup tape drives to perform their assigned backup tasks quickly in an efficient manner.

Unmatched read/write reliability of IBM LTO-4 tape ensures protection of client’s valuable data from accidental loss and un-authorized use. Data searching has become faster and the performance level has further heightened by the addition of LTO-CM (cartridge memory). Advanced IBM LTO4 tape format assures fast data transferring at a steady maintained rate of 120 Mbps. loading & unloading cycles of LTO-4 media have been boosted by the LTO-CM. The green colored cartridge of IBM LTO-4 helps to differentiate it from the prior IBM LTO tape versions. The WORM enabled IBM LTO4 has two-tone colored cartridge which differentiates it from the re-writable IBM LTO-4 backup tapes.

IBM LTO4 storage tapes are very robust and highly compatible that ensures protection of user’s investments. These IBM LTO-4 media tapes deliver breakthrough features that allow storage of voluminous information with superior level of output frequency. IBM LTO4 ultrium cartridges continue to provide unparalleled performance and efficient backup operations as the enterprise’s infrastructure and backup storage needs grow. Metal Particle mechanism has increased the LTO-4 tape’s storage capacity and media robustness. IBM LTO-4 format has the ability to deliver high out without any drop in performance level under heavy work cycles.
