A Growing Demand for LTO Tape Technology
The demand for tape media is being fueled for a variety of reasons:
One reason for this progress is the exponential data growth and expansion across industries including Digital Video Surveillance,
Media and Entertainment and Government Video. For example, in the entertainment industry, a rising demand for higher-quality content,
4K and upcoming UHD formats, is causing a rapid growth in digital data and increasing the demand
for effective and affordable storage solutions.
Another area that has been contributing to year-over-year growth of tape is organizational requirements to retain data for extended
periods of time across verticals. Government and business regulations are also requiring organizations to maintain an expanding
amount of content for longer periods of time, driving up storage costs and other associated fees such as electricity, IT personnel
and physical storage space. Industries such as healthcare and credit card companies are required to store content for a minimum of
three years and some types of data are mandated to be kept indefinitely, depending on their categorized value.
With these current trends in data growth and retention in mind, the role of tape in this digital era will remain indispensable.
Tape offers a cost-effective and low-energy solution for enterprise storage, yielding the highest return on investment (ROI) over
a 10-year period, the more data stored on tape for long periods of time, the more money is saved!
