Cyber resilient, energy-efficient tape storage with airgap and long-term retention at a lower cost than other media
Tape storage is used for data backup in case of system failure and for archiving data for long-term storage.
The long term retention of data including the archiving of data, regulatory and legal holds are all critical to the business. Tape helps to lower carbon impact, TCO, and energy consumption of long term data retention.
Full range of tape libraries and autoloaders featuring high performance and capacity for entry, midrange and enterprise system environments.
Tape technology of archiving cold data with long-term retention makes possible to dramatically reduce the cost of storing growing amounts of data.
Tape combines long product lifecycles with low embedded and operational carbon
footprint to support your sustainability initiatives.
Unparalleled data resilience, with "offline-by-design" physical air gap between your archived data and the outside world. Offering data encryption at rest to ensure data privacy and reduce the risk of data corruption due to virus or sabotage.
