Tape storage is a key part of a comprehensive data protection strategy.
As data volumes continue to grow and cyber threats intensify, organizations need a simple, reliable way to protect their data. Backing up data using best practices such as the 3-2-1-1 rule (3 copies of data, 2 different types of media, 1 copy offsite (in the cloud) and 1 copy offline (on-premises tape)) is essential for any organization, regardless of budget size or IT staff size.
Quantum LTO tape drives are the ideal solution for backing up small amounts of data to tape. They are available in a variety of options, such as desktop and rackmount models. Quantum offers LTO-9, LTO-8, and LTO-7 tape drives in Half Height form factors, and every tape drive sold comes with DataStor backup software with deduplication, providing a complete backup solution.
