Information storage cartridges

Tape devices, storage cartridges have been around for quite some time. They are still in demand mainly because they are storage systems that require very little costs for use of large volumes of data. In medium-sized, large-scale companies overall information field can reach huge values. 

All information should be kept safe, and secure. There is a need to organize tape libraries whose work is closely related to these drives.

bsoptions provides opportunity to buy storage cartridges for streamers and tape libraries with support of reading for two generations and writing for one generation. 

We offer and supply models from such manufacturers as HP, Seagate, SUN, Oracle, Dell and other brands.

 

Efficient drive

Storage, backup copying to cartridges has many advantages. Tape has many advantages over hard as well as laser (optical) disks. Among them

power efficiency:- they do not need a power source for storage;

security:– attacker will not be able to read  contents without connecting the reader, while hard drive, for example, is almost permanently in the computer;

reliability: – Write or read error is by 4-5 orders of magnitude less likely in case of tape than in case of hard drives.

Over decades of development of magnetic recording technology tape drives have undergone many changes. Right now, they constitute drives that share same tape reel. 

If mounted on a reader or writer tape will be fed to the magnetic heads automatically. Same as optical drives they have their own abbreviation for overwriting capability. 

LTO RW technology implies multiple reads and writes. WORM cartridges can only be recorded once and they are read only by Ultrium streamers.

 

Advantages of the LTO series

It's hard to find a growing company right now that doesn't have a tape library. It's arranged when there's a need to get rid of paper piles in archives, to vacate workspaces. Then there's the pressing issue of constantly creating backups to avoid losing valuable information. 

Accordingly, such an organization would need to buy a data cartridge and more than one. To create huge data archives for network servers, workstations and other systems, LTO Ultrium series of backup cartridges will suit well in Dubai. 

They are designed in different configurations, which allows for constant replenishment of company's tape library vertically, i.e., filling rack with new units. 

Over time, one might consider scaling up to accommodate all databases and archives in a substantially smaller area.

In addition to the characteristic advantages already mentioned above, LTO cartridges

have very high data storage density;

are characterized by large storage volumes;

have high-quality design;

have ability to encrypt data;

can be effectively operated for 2-3 decades;

are inexpensive per megabyte of information recorded.
