LTO Ultrium Technology

Linear Tape-Open technology was developed by three leaders in the storage industry - Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, and Quantum - who brought together their combined expertise in tape technology to develop an entirely new format based on the best of existing technologies. Because LTO Ultrium technology was a new format, it required no cumbersome support of legacy formats, so it could be designed without compromising on reliability or performance. The LTO Program, a consortium of the three technology provider companies, has developed a well-defined ten-generation roadmap.

Ultrium LTO-4, LTO-5 and LTO-6 tape drive technologies from Hewlett Packard Enterprise use a linear format of 896 tracks 1280 tracks and 2176 tracks (respectively), writing sixteen tracks simultaneously. Ultrium LTO-7 tape drive features a breakthrough in recording technology by writing thirty-two tracks simultaneously on a linear format of 3584 tracks. The data is written in a serpentine pattern; the tape reverses direction after each set of tracks is written. This provides higher density recording, enabling customers to lower costs and increase efficiency by storing more data on a single tape in an industry standard format.

The LTO standard for backward compatibility is to write back one generation and read back two generations; therefore:

• First-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HPE Ultrium 230, HPE Ultrium 232) read and write LTO-1 media
• Second-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HPE Ultrium 460, HPE Ultrium 448) read and write LTO-1 and LTO-2 media.
• Third-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HPE Ultrium 920, Ultrium 960) read and write LTO-2 and LTO-3 media and also read LTO-1 media.
• Fourth-generation LTO Ultrium drives (Ultrium 1840, Ultrium 1760) read and write LTO-3 and LTO-4 media and also read LTO-2 media.
• Fifth-generation LTO Ultrium drives (Ultrium 3280, Ultrium 3000) read and write LTO-4 and LTO-5 media and also read LTO-3 media.
• Sixth-generation LTO Ultrium drives (Ultrium 6650, Ultrium 6250) read and write LTO-5 and LTO-6 media and also read LTO-4 media.
• Seventh-generation LTO Ultrium drives (Ultrium 15000) read and write LTO 6 and LTO-7 media and also read LTO-5 media

As part of the LTO open standard, all HPE tape drives and media offer the same standards of compatibility with tape drives and media manufactured by other LTO vendors.

LTO data compression (LTO-DC) is an enhanced version of Advanced Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) hardware compression. Compression is automatically turned off if the compressed data would cause an overall expansion in data size, hence optimizing the available capacity on the media. Data compression is also turned off if data is found to be uncompressible; thus, allowing for better data scans. The system is used in all LTO Ultrium tape drives.

The decision about which tape technology you should buy next should be based on your future, not your past, investment. Choose the LTO Ultrium format when you need the following advantages:

• Maximum reliability, capacity and performance
• Compatibility with a broad range of operating systems and servers (e.g., a mixed system environment)
• A legacy-free technology that uses the best attributes from a wide range of tape technologies without any compromises for backward compatibility requirements
• A solid roadmap for future generations of the technology
• An open format available from multiple vendors
• Lowest media cost of any 'superdrive' tape technology

Hardware Based Encryption

HPE LTO-4, 5, 6 and 7 LTO Ultrium tape drives support hardware-based encryption to enable greater levels of security:

• AES 256-bit Encryption

-Easy-to-enable encryption for a secure backup

-Helps prevent unauthorized accessed of tape media if cartridges are lost or stolen

-Eliminates the need to purchase and manage additional h/w

• No loss in performance of backup
• The Yosemite Server Backup Basic backup and recovery software supports LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6 and LTO-7 encryption and makes writing encrypted backups simple. A passphrase is entered and Yosemite Server Backup Basic creates and manages the encryption key.

NOTE:Customers can download the free version of Yosemite Server Backup Basic, but the full purchase of Yosemite Server Backup is no longer available.

TapeAssure

HPE TapeAssure makes managing, optimizing and archiving on the HPE LTO Ultrium tape drives easier. This tool provides additional management and monitoring capabilities including:

• Life and health information for media and drives
• Information on media and drive utilization and operational performance
• Notifications of drive and media characteristics that fall below Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommended standards

TapeAssure health reports and alerts give you peace of mind knowing the condition of the drives, the tapes and the data on each tape. TapeAssure monitors every backup to ensure the highest standards of reliability, sends alerts when these standards are not met, and ensures that you can maintain the drives and tapes used in an archive environment to have the highest integrity.

HPE TapeAssure is included as part of HPE Library and TapeTools for Windows users from LTT 5.0 onwards. Instructions and downloads of HPE Library and Tape Tools are available at: http://www.hpe.com/storage/tapetools

Linear Tape File System (LTFS)

LTFS makes tape self-describing, file-based, and easy-to-use, it also provides users with the ability to use standard file operations on tape media for accessing, managing and sharing files with an interface that behaves just like a hard disk. In addition, LTFS provides the ability to share data across platforms, as you would with a USB drive or memory stick. Simply load a tape into the drive, mount it into the file system, and it becomes visible as a disk.

For more information, including user guide, downloads and compatibility, visit:
http://www.hpe.com/storage/ltfs

HPE StoreOpen Standalone

HPE StoreOpen Standalone is a free software application that helps LTFS users to use and manage single tape drives.

Available for Windows and Mac environments, it provides a native GUI with a familiar look and feel. It is installed automatically as part of the LTFS package and it completely removes the need for low-level terminal commands by guiding users through the full process of select, prepare and mount an LTFS cartridge.

Data Rate Matching

Data Rate Matching combines sophisticated buffer management with HPE's exclusive Variable Tape Speed technology to allow the tape drive to match its transfer rate to the host speed dynamically and continuously across the wide range of transfer rates. This feature ensures that the tape drive continues to stream data regardless of the environment, and brings two big advantages:

• It optimizes backup performance, regardless of the speed of the host or the network
• It minimizes rewinding and repositioning of the tape, reducing wear and increasing reliability

WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) Drive and Media Support

Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store and manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies that can verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years.

LTO generation 3 and higher tape drives feature the ability to archive and store data in a non-rewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a combination of integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape formatting, LTO Ultrium drives can archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure, untampered state. Since all LTO generation 3 and higher tape drives include support for both rewritable and WORM media, IT organizations can now easily integrate a secure, long-term archiving solution into their current data protection strategy. As compared to other technologies that feature support for WORM storage, LTO tape drives offers the advantages of:

• A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs
• Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM data cartridges
• A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to prevent accidental or intentional overwriting of data
• High-capacity, low-cost HPE WORM media that can store up to 15TB (LTO-7) of data on a single data cartridge
• Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most comprehensive and mainstream support in the industry
• The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all third-generation Ultrium products

NOTE: While all HPE LTO generation 3 and higher tape drives support LTO Ultrium WORM media, some third-generation LTO Ultrium tape drives from other manufacturers may not include read and write support for LTO Ultrium WORM media. For non-HPE LTO-3 and LTO-4 tape drives, please check the manufacturers' specifications to ensure this support is provided if you are using your WORM media. If WORM support is not provided, the drive will eject the WORM tape cartridge immediately upon insertion into to the tape drive.

Included Software

The HPE Ultrium tape drives provide the option to download Yosemite Server Backup Basic backup and recovery software. It is an easy-to-use backup and recovery application that is installed in minutes and includes all the features needed to protect a single machine by backup to a HPE tape drive.
