Overview
The family of HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives is HP's premier line of backup devices. Based on the LTO Ultrium format, an
open standard with a well-defined six-generation roadmap, HP Ultrium tape drives offer customers the best choice for investment
protection. With ultimate reliability and ease of use in mind, even at 100% duty cycles, HP's rugged design builds on superior LTO
technology and adds advanced features like hardware data encryption to create a new level of data protection. The tape drives
employ dynamic data rate matching to adjust to the speed of the host, reducing wear and tear on both drive and media and
increasing performance, even on slower hosts. HP's ultra-durable soft-load feature automatically positions the data cartridge, and
the highly reliable HP leader-capture mechanism virtually eliminates lost leaders, increasing the success of your backup and restore
operations. Support for HP One-Button Disaster Recovery provides the easiest way to restore data in the event of a disaster. The
StorageWorks family of tape drives also features support for HP Library and Tape Tools which provides a single application for drive
management, diagnostics, and performance optimization. If data is critical to your business, protect it with an HP StorageWorks
Ultrium tape drive.
