Large scale enterprises rely on the reliable and cost effective backup solutions offered by linear tape open (LTO) format. Quantum LTO tape storage devices are developed to provide perfect balance of performance and value. Quantum has utilized its technical expertise and introduced breakthrough features in its newly designed LTO-4 Half-Height (HH) tape drive. Quantum LTO-4 HH drive offers extremely low cost per GB and is competitively priced. IT managers of small and mid-range businesses, busy data centers, network servers, remote offices and data rich environments should adopt the high performance and intelligent Quantum LTO 4 tape format.

The specifications of LTO-4 tape format ensure that the LTO4 drives should be able to perform their operations on both non-WORM and WORM tape cartridges. Part number MR-L4MQN-01 represents the high capacity Quantum LTO-4 cartridge, which features a tough and ultra smooth base film. With Quantum LTO-4 cartridge, the customers can backup 1600 GB compressed data and 800GB native data. LTO-4 HH tape drives offer highest level of data security with the help of WORM write once read ...
... many and hardware based encryption technologies.

Quantum LTO-4 drive can not only write new data to the LTO3 tape cartridges, but can also read the LTO2 and LTO 3 media as well. Quantum LTO4 HH drive features numerous exclusive features that contribute to the extraordinary media reliability and performance. In order to enhance the data integrity and reduce the backup window, Quantum has employed newly developed Smart Verify technology. Quantum offers all versions of LTO tapes which include:

Quantum LTO 1 tape MR-L1MQN-01-CLM200,
Quantum LTO 2 tape MR-L2MQN-01,
Quantum cleaning LTO cartridge, MR-LUCQN-01
Quantum LTO 3 tape MR-L3MQN-01,
Quantum LTO 5 tape MR-L5MQN-01,

Fast sense technology help to match the streaming speed of LTO-4 HH tape drive with the incoming data speed. Fast sense technique of Quantum LTO4 drive is more efficient and reliable than that of LTO4 drives manufactured by other companies. Quantum LTO-4 drive provides consistent performance because it is built tough to withstand heavy work stress and harsh working conditions. Quantum LTO-4 HH drive provides high class performance with lesser consumption of energy. The size of Quantum LTO4 drive and tape cartridges is smaller as compared to other tape formats; therefore lesser shelf space will be required and will help you to you efficiently manage the backup storage system.

The other traditional tape drives can waste more power and time. Traditional drives do not support high transfer speed that is why it will take much longer to complete high-volume backup. Some of the traditional drives may write too fast, which will deplete the data buffer and will ultimately consume more time to complete data backup. On the other hand, Quantum LTO-4 drive intelligently performs the read/write functions and optimizes the data performance to elevate the organization's overall efficiency. Quantum drive has a unique dynamic power down mechanism which ensures protection of the drive's components and media in case of unexpected power loss. Quantum LTO4 HH drive is more powerful and better serves the need of high volume backups in a cost-effective manner.
