Massive Data Storage with 20 LTO-7 Cartridges
The HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge 20-Pack (C7977AN) delivers 6TB native and 15TB compressed storage capacity per cartridge, providing a total storage capacity of up to 300TB (compressed) across the 20 included cartridges. Each tape is capable of storing large files, system backups, and virtual machine images, allowing enterprises to store multiple backups on fewer tapes. This high-capacity design enhances tape storage efficiency, reduces costs, and supports disaster recovery, regulatory compliance, and business continuity planning.
Pre-Labeled Cartridges for Streamlined Management
The HPE LTO-7 Non-Custom Labeled Cartridges (C7977AN) are pre-labeled with barcode labels, simplifying tape management and making them ready for use in automated tape libraries. Pre-labeled cartridges eliminate manual labeling errors and speed up inventory management, making it easier for IT administrators to track, identify, and rotate tapes. Automated libraries can instantly recognize the tape's label, reducing downtime and improving the speed and accuracy of tape retrieval. This labeling option is essential for large enterprises and data centers where rapid tape handling is critical.
256-Bit AES Hardware Encryption for Data Security
The HPE LTO-7 Ultrium Data Cartridge supports 256-bit AES hardware encryption, ensuring secure data storage and protection against unauthorized access. This encryption method helps businesses comply with global data protection regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX, ensuring that confidential business information is safe. Encryption occurs at the hardware level of the tape drive, offering faster, more efficient data protection than software-based encryption. With encrypted data stored on the LTO-7 cartridges, businesses can prevent data breaches, protect customer data, and maintain regulatory compliance.
Blazing-Fast Transfer Speeds for Quick Backups
The HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge (C7977AN) supports ultra-fast data transfer rates of up to 300 MB/s (native) and 750 MB/s (compressed), allowing businesses to perform backups and restores quickly. Faster data transfer reduces system downtime and ensures rapid data transfers, making it ideal for large-scale data backups, system migrations, and disaster recovery. The high throughput allows IT teams to complete large-scale backups efficiently, minimizing disruptions to business operations and ensuring faster access to critical data during emergencies.
30-Year Archival Life for Long-Term Data Preservation
The HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge (C7977AN) is engineered for long-term data storage with a shelf life of up to 30 years under optimal storage conditions. Its long archival life makes it ideal for companies required to retain data for regulatory compliance, legal obligations, and audit requirements. The tape's durable construction protects against environmental wear, dust, and aging, allowing for error-free read/write operations for decades. This long-term reliability makes the HPE LTO-7 cartridge an essential tool for organizations that require secure, long-term archival storage.
Backward and Forward Compatibility with LTO Drives
The HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge (C7977AN) is compatible with LTO-7 drives for read/write operations and provides read/write compatibility with LTO-8 drives. It also supports read compatibility with LTO-9 drives, ensuring flexibility and forward compatibility as companies upgrade their IT infrastructure. This backward and forward compatibility protects previous investments in tape hardware while allowing for future growth. The industry-standard LTO format also ensures compatibility with third-party drives and tape libraries, providing greater interoperability for multi-vendor environments.
