When new technology arrives in the market, everyone wants to buy or install it. The rationale behind this behavior by individuals and businesses is that new technology is better and improved. It can help a business to reduce its costs and enhance efficiency. When speaking of new technology, it is mandatory to mention the fifth generation of Linear Tape Open technology; also known as LTO5 media. One of the biggest and leading manufacturers of LTO 5 tapes products is Quantum. Quantum LTO 5 tape, part number MR-L5MQN-01, is the new high capacity tape designed for demanding businesses and data-intensive companies.

Quantum LTO 5 tape is the best back technology for several reasons and a few important ones have been mentioned in this article. First of all, lto-5 tapes provide the highest processing speed and storage capacity amongst all its competitors. It is the only type of magnetic tape that store up to 1.5 Terabytes raw data and up to 3 Terabytes of compressed data on one individual cartridge. It is capable of processing data at a speed of 1 Terabyte per hour. The lto-5 tapes can operate seven days of the week around the clock without any interruption and disruption. As the IT department of your business is mission critical in nature, LTO 5 media technology is the best option for you.

Secondly the Quantum LTO 5 media tape has enhanced bit density. The reason for this improved density is smoother base of the film and smaller size of the magnetic particles. The secondary advantage of enhanced bit density is that it allows a larger quantity of data to be saved on the tape. When compared LTO 5 media tape to its previous generation LTO 4, the number of tracks increased from 896 to 1280 along with the processing speed and storage capacity. The memory chip of Quantum LTO-5 ultrium tape allows access to data at a greater speed along with superior monitoring of the media. Once Quantum LTO5 ultrium system is up and running in your IT department, you can sit back and relax because it will be its job to minimize the probability of media failure and disruptions in backup. HP LTO5 tape and Sony LTO5 tape are the two other most popular cartridges in the LTO ultrium5 category.

One would assume that these are the only benefits that can be gained from Quantum LTO 5 backup tape system. However the reality is quite different. LTO-5 tape drives provide one of the most advanced security system for the backup copy of your data. The LTO 5 tape drives come with inbuilt encryption software that eliminates the need for businesses to install additional security measures. This feature allows businesses to reduce the spending on security software and hardware system. Other than this, the fifth generation of Linear Tape Open technology also includes WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) facility. This facility ensures compliant storage of the data and tamperproof data.

If your business has installed LTO4, LTO3 or LTO2, you can always think about upgrading your tape to LTO5 in order to avail all the above mentioned benefits. Last but not the least, the price of the Quantum LTO5 tape is economical and reasonable.
