LTO Space

Central Tape Storage

Tape archiving has been dogged by slow transfer speeds and the inability to share drives over networks. LTO Space changes all that. Developed for central archives, the Space multidrive LTO-5 / LTO-6 system can write and read data from any or all drives simultaneously at an astonishing 640MB/s (LTO-6)

Comments

Network-attached, users can read and write from any authorized workstation, for a workflow that is far more efficient than drives tethered to a single dedicated computer.

The Safest Solution

With this performance comes not only data transfer efficiencies: running the drives at their native speed means that the tape does not shuttle back and forth to accommodate varying data rates. This means that our systems do not unnecessarily weaken the magnetic tape as others can. For media archives, this is a critical factor.

Multi-Drive Network Solution

With GB Labs systems, these speeds can be sustained, making Space LTO perfect for multi-channel content creators, owners and distributors.
