## Description

HPE Ultrium LTO 9 Data Cartridge 18TB Native / 45TB Compressed

## Features

- Create an Air Gap to Keep Data Out of the Reach of Cybercriminals - Tapes stored offline are disconnected from the network and are out of reach of sophisticated criminals who use digital networks to strike at companies to encrypt both their primary data and their backups
- Lowest Total Cost of Ownership for Long-term Archiving - According to a white paper from ESG, ‘The Economic Benefits of HPE StoreEver as Active Archival Storage’, LTO tape technology is over 80% less expensive across a 10-year period, than either all-disk or all-cloud solutions for a 1 PB archive growing at 10% per annum
- Highest Performance of any Comparable Tape Technology - HPE LTO-9 Ultrium data cartridges can write or read data at a blistering native 1.44 TB/hour, storing, encrypting, and protecting up to 45 TB* on a single cartridge, making it ideal for large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments (*capacity assumes 2.5:1 compression)
- Highest Capacity of any Comparable Tape Technology - A 35% increase in the number of tracks and a 3% increase in bit density has permitted a capacity increase from 30 TB for LTO-8 to 45 TB for LTO-9. From 2,176 tracks for LTO-6 to 8,960 tracks for 9th generation HPE LTO-9 Ultrium 45 TB cartridges (assuming 2.5:1 compression) – an improvement of 311%
- Ultra-Reliable Storage Medium - Tape is more reliable than enterprise SATA disk, with a bit error rate (BER) of 1x10 to the power of 19 for LTO-8 versus 1x10 to the power of 15 for enterprise SATA HDD’s. That’s a difference in reliability of four orders of magnitude–e.g. tape is 10,000 times more reliable than enterprise SATA HDD
