As data continues to grow and cyber threats escalate, organizations need a simple and dependable way to keep data protected. Quantum’s LTO tape drives are an ideal solution for backing up small data sets to tape and are available in a variety of form factors to help you store, manage, and protect your data.

Tape is a key part of a comprehensive data protection strategy. Backing up data using the best practice rule such as 3-2-1-1 = 3 copies of your data, in 2 different forms of media, 1 copy offsite (cloud), and 1 copy offline (on-prem tape) is crucial for every organization, regardless of budget or IT staff size.

Quantum offers LTO-9, LTO-8, and LTO-7 tape drives in a half-height form factor, and every tape drive sold includes DataStor backup software with deduplication to provide a complete backup solution.

Quantum LTO Tape Drives provide a simple, reliable solution. They deliver fast, reliable data protection at an affordable price, offering backup speeds up to 750 MB/sec. When paired with an LTO-9 cartridge, you can store up to 45 TB (compressed) of data on a single cartridge, gaining more than 50% storage capacity in the same footprint.

Quantum’s LTO cartridges or any LTO media provide easily transportable backup storage for disaster recovery protection, and their AES 256-bit encryption ensures that no one else can access, delete, or encrypt your data. The WORM-cartridge option provides an even higher level of security.

30 year+ life span. Low-cost and reliable long-term data storage.
