Continuing Innovation
With a six generation roadmap LTO is a technology
that medium and large enterprises can invest in with
confidence. HP never stops developing innovative new
tape technologies that feature faster backup speeds
and larger capacity. That means the total cost of
ownership of tape solutions is decreasing, giving you a
greater array of options in designing and implementing
the most successful backup plans for your business’
unique needs.
HP LTO Ultrium: reliability is our value proposition
At HP, we set the highest standards in the industry for
our storage media. As a drive and media specialist,
we know the extremes to which end users put both
hardware and tape. In order to carry the HP brand,
cartridges must pass exhaustive laboratory tests that
go well beyond the requirements of the LTO Ultrium
logo specification.
Having achieved these unrelenting standards, we
continuously test and monitor the quality of every batch
of media that is destined to bear the HP logo. The table
opposite shows how HP sets better standards and tests
more than any other company.
“The main reason
I use HP hardware and
HP Ultrium tapes is
because they work every
time. My company trusts
my decision to use
HP solutions and I trust
HP with my job.”
