Fujifilm Launches LTO-9: The Latest in Tape-Based Storage Solutions

The future of tape-based storage, LTO-9, is FINALLY here!

LTO-9 plays an important role in today's data centers. This new generation of tape helps you store cold data in a more intelligent way like never before.

• Higher capacity — 18TB of data and up to 45TB when compressed, a full 50% increase over LTO-8
• Cost-effective — lowest total cost of ownership
• Air gap security  — protection against ransomware attacks
• Eco-friendly — energy efficient, lower CO2 footprint
• Performance — impressive 400MB/s transfer rate 
• Scalability — even easier to scale than previous LTO generations

Store more data, use less energy, and get more done with LTO-9.

Stop Throwing More Disk at your Data Challenges

Not all data needs to be within immediate reach.
Around 80% of data is cold. You may need to keep it for compliance or other business purposes, but it's not required for daily processes.

LTO-9 tape costs less than SSD, HDD or other types of storage.
For enterprises, the cost of data ownership over 10 years with tape is hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars less than the costs associated with economy disk or cloud storage.

Fast data transfers.
LTO-9 supports data transfer rates of 400MB/s (1,000MB/s native/compressed) to ensure fast backups and data movement.

LTO-9 holds more than its predecessors.
LTO generation 8 tape cartridges hold 12TB of data (or 30TB compressed). LTO-9 cartridges increase storage capacities even more, letting you archive 1.5X as much data (up to 18TB of native data and up to 45TB when compressed) on a single cartridge to drive more efficient back-up processes and reduce storage floor space.

Better for the environment.
When compared to HDD storage solutions, tape generates 95% less in carbon emissions over a decade. Using modern tape storage options for even just some of your data is an eco-friendly process which can help you reduce your carbon footprint.
