HP LTO Ultrium Cartridges
HP LTO-5 Ultrium media offers the superior capacity/
performance ratio of any tape technology, with
terabyte-class capacity and performance. It has
almost double the capacity and offers faster
performance compared to LTO-4 Ultrium, with built-in
encryption capability and a WORM option – with
no performance overhead.
Standardising on HP LTO-5 Ultrium delivers the
capacity to meet shrinking backup windows,
industry-standard, AES 256-bit encryption
(IEEE1619.1) and interchangeable RW or WORM
media, without extra space or IT resource overhead.
Key features and benefits
Highest Capacity and
Performance of any Comparable
Tape Technology
Scalable storage and backup performance
HP LTO-5 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering
1 TB/hour, storing, encrypting and protecting up to
3 TB on a single cartridge, making it an ideal choice
in large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments.
High storage density and cost-effective media
Smoother base film and smaller magnetic particles
increase the bit density, allowing more data to be
recorded in the same amount of tape. This has, for
example, increased the number of recording tracks
from 896 for LTO-4 to 1280 tracks for 5th generation
HP LTO-5 Ultrium 3 TB cartridges.
Intelligent cartridge design
LTO Ultrium cartridge memory chip delivers faster
access time and enhanced media monitoring.
Durable
First time restore provided with fewer media failures
and disrupted backups, regardless of duty cycle or
environmental conditions.
Ultra-reliable
Intelligent cartridge
Superior ‘smart grabber’ mechanism and mechanical
interlock to prevent the leader pin from being pulled
inside the tape housing. Sensors detect proper
connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin
the tape.
Durable cartridge design
Simplified tape path to reduce wear and tear and
build up of and debris (important in automation).
Tested to extremes
HP brand qualification test procedures (load/unload,
shoeshine, drop testing and environmental stress
testing) go far beyond what is required for the LTO
Ultrium logo. This provides maximum reliability for
restoring your data.
Limited lifetime warranty
HP warrants LTO Ultrium cartridges for up to 30 years
archival life and/or 260 full backups. This enables
businesses to meet the ever-increasing demands of
regulation for data retention and archiving.
Secure
Permanent storage
WORM version provides tamperproof, compliant
data storage.
Encrypted content
Data encryption for enhanced data security on
HP LTO-4 and LTO-5 Ultrium.
Value for money
Very low media cost per GB
Standardising on HP LTO-4 or LTO-5 Ultrium
delivers the capacity to meet shrinking backup
windows, industry-standard, AES 256-bit encryption
(IEEE1619.1) and interchangeable RW or WORM
media – without extra space or IT resource overhead.
Flexibility and choice
Open standard technology offers compatibility
across product generations and gives you more
choice. Cartridges are available as Custom Labelled,
Non-Custom Labelled and Non-Labelled versions to
fit with your data centre management criteria.
Meet all your demands for reliable data
protection, enabling full use of capacity
and better ROI
