Available in rewritable and write once, read many cartridge (WORM) models
Data that is encrypted by LTO Ultrium 4 drives can be stored on both rewritable and WORM media to securely maintain data integrity
Designed to help improve read/write reliability by storing IBM’s statistical media read/write analysis on every use of the cartridge when using IBM LTO tape drives
Designed to adhere to widely supported Linear Tape-Open™ (LTO) Ultrium 4 design specifications
Higher capacity per volume requires less library cartridge capacity and helps reduce backup windows by requiring less volume mounts

High-capacity media for data storage growth
IBM is delivering high-capacity LTO Generation 4 media that helps provide clients the ability to address the demanding growth in data storage.
Increased cartridge capacity helps reduce the amount of equipment, space and human intervention required for daily tape operations. In addition, it helps reduce the number of cartridges and time associated with backup and restore operations, thus helping lower operational costs.
