ultrium 215
HP’s entry-level Ultrium drive enables organisations to invest in this revolutionary new format
knowing it significantly extends the boundaries of storage tape reliability, capacity and
performance and covers needs now and in the future.
Small to medium businesses and branch offices running a distributed network and primarily
LAN backup need to upgrade performance and capacity in order to protect increasing
quantities of data in less and less time. In the quest for scalability, reliability and capacity some
of them will have looked at autoloaders and small libraries. HP’s entry-level Ultrium drive
enables them to meet these needs at a much lower cost per GB.
