Fujifilm have launched
their LTO-5 data cartridge with a 3.0TB capacity (at 2:1 compression;
1.5TB native). The LTO-5 data cartridge utilises multi-channel
recording technology and achieves transfer rates of up to
280MB/second (at 2:1 compression; 140MB/sec. native).
Fujifilm Australia General Manager Recording Media / Motion
Picture Film Marc Van Agten said, “LTO-5 Ultrium technology
relies heavily on timing-based, high-precision servo control
to achieve its high performance levels.
LTO-5 Ultrium data cartridges use dual servo tracks that have
been precisely written along the entire length of each of
its four data bands, for extremely fine placement control
and redundancy in the event of tape damages.”
For the LTO-5 development, Fujifilm
further advanced its NANOCUBIC technology and successfully
achieved higher recording density. LTO-5 tapes also have finer
metal particles (78% of the size of LTO-4), nano-dispersion
technology with a new binder system and an advanced nano-coating
technology to achieve a much smoother and more uniform magnetic
layer resulting in significant decrease in the tape surface
defects.
The LTO-5 tapes use Fujifilm’s Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) 256-bit encryption algorithms to keep data secure with
the hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption offering a higher
level of security during storage and transporting of sensitive
information. WORM (Write Once Read Many) functionality provides
a cost-effective means for storing data in non-rewriteable
format to help address compliance requirements.
In a first for LTO tapes FUJIFILM now offer them in an LTO
Eco Library Pack specifically designed to facilitate the use
of Fujifilm data tape cartridges in automated library environments.
These specially designed packs safely protect Fujifilm data
tapes during shipping while eliminating individual cartridge
packaging, thereby reducing upload time and reducing waste
to landfill by 80% compared to standard P-case configuration.
Each Eco pack is tested and certified for safe shipping and
is manufactured from a unique thermo-formed recyclable material.
Fujifilm LTO tape customer and Showtime Director of Operations
& Production, John Turner said, “Fujifilm LTO tapes
are an efficient, versatile and cost effective cartridge.
The new Eco Library Pack makes real commercial and environmental
sense and the fact that the 20 cartridges per pack are available
with custom EDP Tri-Optic barcode labels, practical and logistical
sense too.”
