LTO Ultrium Technology
Investment protection
How it works:
One USB key server token is installed in the USB port of the library to enable encryption. The token
must remain in the tape library or tape autoloader while encryption is enabled.
The USB key server token generates and stores keys for the LTO-6, LTO-5 or LTO-4 Ultrium drives.
The USB key server token uses a hardware random number generator, a cryptographic module
running on FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated hardware, password authentication, and digital envelopes
for strong encryption keys and security operations.
A second USB key server token is provided in the kit to be used as a backup token which can be
stored in a secure location.
The keys are transferred securely token-to-token for backup or export, with no exposure to
insecure PCs, servers, or networks. An option is also provided to save the token contents to a secure
file.
The most recently added keys on the token are able to be saved to a file to enable you to seed new
tokens with keys from other tokens.
The HP StoreEver MSL Encryption Kit provides a self-contained solution for MSL libraries with additional
software, PCs, or servers required or involved.

HP LTO (Linear Tape Open) Ultrium Tape Drives use best of breed technology.. Inclusion of innovative
features such as HP Adaptive Tape Speed (ATS) ensure that HP Ultrium drives can meet the performance
and reliability demands of a library environment. LTO technology is an open industry standard format;
thus data written on HP Ultrium Tape Drives can be interchanged directly with Ultrium Tape Drives from
other vendors.
HP LTO tape drives and automation products are founded on the LTO open standard and adhere to the
published LTO format roadmap which publishes the roadmap out to generation 8 at 32TB of compressed
capacity per cartridge. With in-built two generation backwards compatibility, LTO customers can be
assured of investment protection.
