Archiware P5 V6.1
With LTFS as native archive format on LTO
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on February 4, 2021 at 2:07 pmArchiware GmbH releases version 6.1 of its P5 Data Management Platform.
A highlight of the new version is a new cross-platform LTFS driver, which provides unparalleled efficiency and convenience with LTFS tapes.
Firm’s new approach removes the need for the open-source FUSE software used by competitors. This allows direct control of the tape media, while maintaining ISO/IEC compatibility. Users wishing to archive data to tape, with indexing, searching, thumbnail gen, and meta-data ingest can now choose between the P5 Native and LTFS format. This is beneficial where interoperability with non-Archiware systems is required.
Archiving to LTFS-formatted tapes using the P5 Archive module is supported on all OSs. The company said it is the only vendor to offer support for FreeBSD of LTFS-formatted LTO tapes for archive.
P5 version 6.1 is available as an upgrade or free, fully featured 30-day trial on the Archiware website.
