The 358x Ultrium tape family of devices supports the latest industry-standard Linear Tape Open (LTO) technology. LTO technology enhances data compression capacity, performance, and reliability. A powerful open tape architecture, Ultrium sets the stage for a new generation of tape storage products expected to surpass current tape capacity and performance benchmarks while maintaining the highest data integrity. Ultrium technology offers a high-capacity, single-reel solution that uses the new ULTRIUM1 media and density. The actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed. Ultrium enables larger-capacity or higher-performance tape backup. It features latest Open Standard technology and a strategic IBM platform.
