ProMAX Systems: LTO-8 Support and Product for Platform Workflow Servers

ProMAX Systems, Inc. announced LTO-8 support and product offerings across the company’s Platform Workflow Server product line up.

“Our customers are desperately trying to keep up with the amount of data that they are now required to manage. A fast, cost-effective, easy-to-use method for managing both backing up and archiving data is no longer a luxury but now a requirement.” said Nathaniel Cooper, COO, ProMAX. “With LTO-8 our customers can now get R/W performance close to disk speeds, and easily get an entire off-site backup of a $30,000 server for under $1,000 in LTO tapes.“

Administrators can set backup tasks on a repeating frequency and data will automatically be copied. After the backup, each file is recorded into the platform’s integrated catalog so that users can search and preview the files that are on their LTO tapes; then request bulk or individual file restores back to their platform system.

The platform LTO-8 is supported across all Platform Workflow Servers including Pro-Cache, Portable, Studio, Online and Nearline servers. The hardware is available as both stand-alone LTO-8 drives or integrated into tape library systems.

All LTO-8 hardware is shipping.
