New Imation product distributed by 1 Interactive Media
Connections
On May 15, 2007, Imation Singapore Pte Ltd. – a worldwide leader in removable data storage media – announced that it has received LTO (Linear Tape-Open) Ultrium 4 certification from Measurement Analysis Corporation (MAC), an independent testing board for compliance verification testing and the LTO Consortium. As a result of this certification, Imation is the first to begin shipping the new product worldwide to meet customer demand.
LTO technology is a powerful, scalable, adaptable open tape format developed and continuously enhanced by technology providers HP, IBM Corporation and Quantum Corporation (and their predecessors) to help address the growing demands of data protection in the midrange to enterprise-class server environments. This ultra-high capacity generation of tape storage products is designed to deliver outstanding performance, capacity and reliability combining the advantages of linear multi-channel, bi-directional formats with enhancements in servo technology, data compression, track layout and error correction.
C
ustomers have already expressed interest in the advantages that LTO Ultrium format generation 4 provides, such as the doubling of the storage capacity of LTO 3, improved transfer rates and encryption capabilities. LTO 4 features 1.6 terabytes compressed capacity and transfer speeds of up to 240 megabytes per second. For additional protection, the generation 4 format will allow LTO tape drive hardware-based writing of encrypted data to the tape cartridge.
Imation manufactures the generation 4 media at its state-of-the-art Tera Angstrom(TM) coating facility in
Weatherford,
Okla., the only facility in the world built specifically for terabyte-class tape manufacturing.
