HPE LTO-7 Ultrium 15TB RW Data Cartridge

HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges offer reliable, low-cost, and scalable protection for your data against the threat of cyberattacks and ransomware, while meeting any reliability requirements for data restoration. They enable businesses to comply with the recommendations of authorities worldwide to keep offline copies of their data. Designed based on nine previous generations, and with transfer speeds of up to 1.44 TB/h for LTO-9, there is a platform for every budget. Secure AES-256 encryption provides even greater levels of data security, as well as compliance with the strictest industry standards, to prevent unauthorized data access. HPE StoreOpen and the Linear Tape File System make tape usage as easy, flexible, portable, and intuitive as other removable and shared media, such as a USB drive. Also, because LTO cartridges at rest have minimal additional power and cooling requirements, they constitute a greener and more sustainable long-term archiving solution for data.

New support point:
Increased native performance: 1.44 TB/h can be stored with LTO-9 (full height only)
Built-in 256-bit AES encryption (IEEE1619.1) (LTO-5, LTO-6, LTO-7, LTO-8, and LTO-9): FIPS140-2 Level 1 certification granted.
Massive capacity increase: 620% above LTO-6 native capacity (18 TB LTO-9 versus 2.5 TB LTO-6)
