Data security is a growing requirement for businesses of all sizes today. The IBM Half-high LTO Generation 4
SAS Tape Drive delivers advanced security features to help ensure compliancy with data security, information
disclosure, and privacy regulations for data at rest. Beyond WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) cartridge support
to preserve data in a non-erasable and non-rewritable format, LTO 4 technology also offers data encryption
capabilities. LTO 4 hardware-based data encryption can assist in safeguarding against costly security breaches
and exposure of proprietary data if a data cartridge is stolen or lost.
