• It optimizes performance and maximizes overall efficiency, allowing the drive to respond
immediately to any data speed changes from the host.
•
It minimizes rewinding and repositioning of the tape, significantly reducing physical wear and
increasing reliability.
• It minimizes the power requirements for the drive by reducing the number of repositions
needed.

HPE Ultrium WORM
Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store
and manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory
agencies such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies
that can verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years.
Every generation of LTO Ultrium since LTO-3 tape drives feature the ability to archive and store data
in a read-only, non-rewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a
combination of integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape
formatting, LTO Ultrium provides the ability to archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30
years in a secure, untampered state. Ultrium tape drives include support for both rewritable and
WORM media providing for a secure, long-term archiving solution into any data protection strategy.
LTO Ultrium WORM provides the following advantages:
• A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs
•
Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM
data cartridges
• A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to
prevent accidental or intentional overwriting of data
• High-capacity, low-cost HPE WORM media that can store up to 6.25 TB (2.5:1 compression)
of data on a single data cartridge
• Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most
comprehensive and mainstream support in the industry
• The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all third- and later
generation Ultrium products
NOTE: While all HPE LTO-3 and later generations Ultrium tape drives support LTO Ultrium WORM
media, some LTO Ultrium tape drives from other manufacturers may not include read and write
support for LTO Ultrium WORM media. For non-HPE LTO Ultrium tape drives, please check the
manufacturers' specifications to ensure this support is provided if you are using your WORM media.
If WORM support is not provided, the drive will eject the WORM tape cartridge immediately upon
insertion into the tape drive
