Tandberg Data 3510-LTO Ultrium-3 Tape Drive

Overview :

The Tandberg Data 3510-LTO Ultrium-3 Tape Drive represents a significant leap forward in data storage technology, a reflection of advancements in Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology. With an extensive history of innovation in the realm of data backup and storage, Tandberg has developed the 3510-LTO to meet the growing needs of businesses for affordable, reliable, and scalable storage solutions. The drive is a cornerstone for organizations looking to balance the demand for large-capacity backups with cost-efficiency, while ensuring that data remains secure and easily retrievable when necessary.LTO-3, or the third generation of the LTO Ultrium format, introduced notable improvements over its predecessors (LTO-1 and LTO-2), especially in terms of capacity and transfer rates. The Tandberg Data 3510-LTO Ultrium-3 Tape Drive can store up to 400 GB of native data on a single cartridge, which can expand to 800 GB when compressed, thanks to its 2:1 compression ratio. This means that businesses can optimize their storage infrastructure, using fewer cartridges to store more data, thus reducing both physical storage space requirements and the costs associated with maintaining extensive tape libraries.At the heart of the LTO-3 format lies the dual goal of improving data access and protection. The Tandberg Data 3510-LTO Ultrium-3 Tape Drive accomplishes this through an increased native transfer rate of 68 MB/s, which can reach 136 MB/s with compression. The faster data transfer rates translate into quicker backup and recovery times, which are crucial in enterprise environments where minimal downtime and rapid access to data are non-negotiable priorities. By enabling IT departments to perform routine backups without interrupting normal business operations, the drive seamlessly integrates into complex workflows while boosting overall productivity.
