The Pro-Cache Product Family
A cost-effective way to manage multiple terabytes of archived data in a professional media environment, Cache-A’s Pro-Cache5 offers on-set and in-studio features demanded by today’s media industry professionals for content archiving, interchange and access. Pro-Cache5 offers 1.5 terabytes of storage per LTO-5 cartridge, while also providing significantly faster archiving speeds. It writes data on low-cost, secure, portable, interchangeable and IT industry-standard LTO-5 tape cartridges using the standard ‘tar’ format, and the archive life is 30 years.
