The major challenge for the IT managers is to secure and manage the ever-increasing data volumes, while dealing with stiff industry regulations and constrained resources. LTO (linear tape open) is an intelligent, cost-efficient and superior tape media solution for organizations requiring high-speed backup storage and retrieval with rock solid reliability.

Maxell is a technical leader in data storage industry since 1960. Maxell offers a complete range of LTO ultrium tape cartridges that are built tough to ensure supreme reliability and higher operating efficiency under high duty cycles. Maxell LTO tapes are well-suited for long term storage. The latest generation Maxell LTO5 tape, part number 229323, offers almost double the recording capacity available in Maxell LTO4 ultrium tape. LTO ultrium5 tape format meets the storage needs of mid-sized businesses, complex enterprise networks, financial organizations, servers, enterprise workgroups and data-intensive organizations at an economical cost.

Recording capacity of Maxell LTO ultrium 5 tape is 1.5 TB (uncompressed). It can reliably backup huge volume of data ...
... at an exceptional native speed of 140MB/second, which is 15% faster than its predecessor LTO ultrium4 format. LTO5 tape technology provides its customers almost 3 times the capacity of LTO ultrium3 in the same foot-print, which results in easier process management and dramatically reduced operational expenses. Maxell has introduced ADT (advanced dispersion technology) to enhance the robustness and recording density of Maxell LTO 5 tape. The ultra-thin coating has helped to enhance the signal strength and eliminate magnetic interference. The data encryption functionality enables storage of encrypted data onto the Maxell LTO5 backup tape, which protects your critical business data against unauthorized access. So the IT managers can cost-effectively meet the government regulations and policies.

Media interoperability is a compelling feature of LTO technology, which provides customers the flexibility to confidently exchange data in a heterogeneous LTO environment. Maxell LTO ultrium tapes can operate with all compliant LTO drives. 183800, 183850, 183900 and 183906 are the respective part number of Maxell lto ultrium1, lto ultrium2, lto ultirum3 and lto ultrium4 tapes. Maxell offers the broadest line of tape formats including DDS/DAT, DLT and SDLT.

Ceramic armor metal particles have been incorporated in Maxell LTO5 cartridge’s tape media, which optimize the backup performance, enhance the output frequency and enable precise data tracking. The Maxell LTO5 cartridge supports write-once read-many, in short WORM mechanism. So you can reliably preserve your data without any fear of inadvertent modifications or malicious data erasures. With WORM functionality, users enjoy complete peace as their business data is robustly protected against common operating errors. A unique HSPT (high precision servo track) has been embedded to ensure precise head tracking and perfect tape alignment. The Maxell LTO5 tape is rated for over 20,000 load-unload cycles. Cartridge locking system puts a stop to tape movement, thus ensuring safe and secure transportation of Maxell LTO ultrium5 tapes to remote locations. LTO memory chip accelerates the data searching process and enhances the recording efficiency in tape library environment. Storage life of Maxell LTO ultrium5 tape is 30+ years.
