ATTO Technology, Inc. Announces Support of LTO-9 Tape Technology
Enhance performance and flexibility of the fastest generation LTO tape drives with exclusive ATTO products, features and technologies
ATTO Technology, Inc., a global leader of network,
storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing
environments for over 30 years, announced today support for LTO-9 tape
technology across its product lines.
Linear Tape-Open generation nine (LTO-9) technology
improves upon the prior generation with more storage capacity and transfer
speed. LTO-9 Ultrium tape stores up to 18TB uncompressed and 45TB compressed
which is 50% greater capacity than LTO-8. Transfer speeds reach up to 400MB/s
uncompressed and up to 1,000MB/s compressed. LTO-9 drives are backward
compatible with LTO-8 media.
ATTO supports backup and archive processes end-to-end
with a full range of connectivity solutions for every environment.
Industry-exclusive ATTO features and technologies allow for quicker and safer
backups plus provide design flexibility otherwise unavailable to system
designers.
ATTO Advanced Data Streaming, built into all ATTO HBAs,
bridges and Thunderbolt devices, manages latency to provide controlled
acceleration for smooth data streaming to maintain the highest consistent
performance.
When backing up data, write speed is the most important
metric. ATTO SpeedWrite keeps paths between a host and ATTO XstreamCORE
intelligent Bridge filled with data to boost write performance by up to 25% over
a direct connect SAS HBA connection to tape drives.
ATTO ThunderLink Thunderbolt adapters and ATTO ExpressSAS
GT SAS HBAs deliver the fastest available connection to LTO-9 SAS tape drives.
Featuring a full range of port configurations and driver support, easy-to-use
features, extensive industry qualifications and integrates with up to 16 tape
drives per bridge.
ATTO XstreamCORE intelligent Bridges enable the addition
of direct-attached SAS tape to shared Ethernet networks, providing a flexible
and easy way to scale and remotely share LTO-9 tape devices.
