Imation LTO Libraries for SMBs
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Thu, February 9th, 2012
Based on LTO-4 and -5 formats
Imation Corp.
announced the availability of enterprise LTO storage tape libraries,
components to data archiving and backup solutions, for SMBs.
L1400 LTO 4U
The L1200 LTO 2U and Imation L1400 LTO 4U Tape Libraries give SMBs flexibility to manage rapid and unpredictable growth in digital content while meeting industry regulations for retention, retrieval and recovery of data.
The continued embrace of modern IT infrastructure by SMBs is fueling the overall volume of digital content, which is expected to grow by 48 percent in 2012, according to industry research firm IDC. SMBs need to manage this data in ways that keep storage costs low, ensure regulatory compliance and protect the data all at a price point that the organizations can afford.
LTO 2U and LTO 4U Tape Libraries are available through Imation's network of channel partners including Cranel, Inc., Promark Technology, NewWave Technologies, Inc. and Rorke Data.
"For SMBs facing rapidly increasing storage requirements, effective and secure tape archiving to manage valuable corporate information has been out of reach," said Bill Schilling, director, Scalable Storage Marketing, Imation. "That ends with solutions from Imation's scalable storage portfolio, including the Imation LTO 2U and 4U Tape Libraries. With our new LTO offerings, Imation is availing IBM-manufactured LTO solutions to a much wider portion of the channel; many value-added resellers previously did not have access to the enterprise-level functionality within these products."
Imation's LTO tape drives and libraries provide automated data storage and retrieval for companies that need to simplify IT operations while complying with regulatory and security requirements. The new libraries offer efficient operation, performance and scalability while meeting SMB demands for an intuitive and user-friendly storage platform.
Among the products' features:
