Each cartridge offers 6TB native capacity and 15TB compressed capacity, making it a cost-effective choice for large-scale data storage, backups, and long-term archiving. The custom labeling option allows businesses to organize and track their tapes efficiently, reducing manual labeling errors and improving inventory management. The HPE LTO-7 format supports hardware-based encryption, fast data transfer speeds, and a 30-year archival life, making it a dependable solution for enterprise-grade data storage.

Massive Storage Capacity for Backups and Archival
Each HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge (C7977AL) offers a 6TB native and 15TB compressed capacity, enabling companies to store vast amounts of data on a single tape. This reduces the number of tapes required for large backups, simplifies tape rotation, and minimizes operational costs. With the ability to store large databases, virtual machine images, and system backups on a single tape, businesses can increase storage efficiency and ensure better data organization. This high capacity is ideal for disaster recovery, regulatory compliance, and long-term archiving of essential business data.

Custom Labeled Tapes for Streamlined Management
The HPE LTO-7 Custom Label Tapes come pre-labeled with barcodes that simplify tape tracking, reduce labeling errors, and improve inventory management. Custom labels help IT administrators identify and organize tapes quickly, improving efficiency during tape rotation, storage, and retrieval. Automated libraries and tape drives can scan the barcode labels to accurately identify the tape’s contents, reducing downtime and human error. The pre-labeling option is especially beneficial for large-scale data centers, where manual labeling can be time-consuming and prone to mistakes.

256-Bit AES Hardware Encryption for Data Security
The HPE LTO-7 Ultrium Data Cartridge supports 256-bit AES hardware encryption, ensuring that sensitive data remains secure during storage and transportation. Encryption safeguards critical business data, prevents unauthorized access, and supports regulatory compliance with global data protection laws like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX. The encryption is performed by the tape drive rather than software, providing an extra layer of security while maintaining fast backup speeds. This feature protects critical business information from theft, tampering, and accidental loss.

Blazing-Fast Transfer Speeds for Efficient Backups
With data transfer rates of up to 300 MB/s (native) and 750 MB/s (compressed), the HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge (C7977AL) allows for quick and efficient data backups and restores. The high throughput ensures that large datasets, system images, and database backups are completed in less time, reducing system downtime and increasing operational efficiency. These fast speeds support both daily incremental backups and large-scale disaster recovery processes, ensuring that mission-critical data is available when it’s needed most.

30-Year Archival Life for Long-Term Data Retention
The HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge (C7977AL) is built to support long-term data storage, offering an archival life of up to 30 years when stored under optimal environmental conditions. This makes it a perfect solution for companies required to retain records for regulatory compliance, legal obligations, or audit purposes. The cartridge’s durable construction ensures resistance to environmental wear, dust, and external damage, allowing for error-free read/write operations even after multiple usage cycles. Businesses can confidently store and access essential data for decades, knowing that it will remain intact and accessible.

Backward and Forward Compatibility with LTO Drives
The HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge (C7977AL) is compatible with LTO-7 drives and offers read/write compatibility with LTO-8 drives. This compatibility ensures smooth integration with existing tape libraries and hardware, reducing the cost of hardware upgrades. The LTO-7 format also provides better storage density and performance compared to earlier generations, making it a future-proof solution for growing businesses. The industry-standard LTO format ensures interoperability with HPE and third-party tape libraries and drives, providing seamless integration into modern IT infrastructures.
