HPE LTO-9 Ultrium Data Cartridge: Ultra-High-Capacity, Secure Backup for Enterprise-Grade Storage
The HPE LTO-9 Ultrium 45TB Data Cartridge (Q2079A) is a next-generation, high-capacity storage solution designed for enterprise data backup, disaster recovery, and long-term data archiving. With 18TB native capacity and 45TB compressed capacity, this Linear Tape-Open (LTO) cartridge provides the highest storage density of any LTO generation to date. Supporting 256-bit AES hardware encryption, ultra-fast data transfer speeds, and a 30-year archival life, the LTO-9 cartridge is an essential solution for data centers, large enterprises, and cloud storage providers. Its compatibility with LTO-9 drives ensures flexible, secure, and future-proof storage for rapidly growing datasets.

Massive Storage Capacity for Large-Scale Backups
The HPE LTO-9 Data Cartridge (Q2079A) offers an impressive 18TB native and 45TB compressed capacity, enabling companies to store massive datasets, large backups, and full system images on a single tape. This massive capacity significantly reduces the number of tapes required for storage, making it easier for businesses to streamline tape rotation, reduce storage costs, and simplify backup operations. With fewer tapes needed to store large datasets, enterprises can achieve better efficiency and improved data consolidation. The expanded capacity also supports regulatory compliance, disaster recovery, and long-term data archiving.

Unmatched Data Security with 256-Bit AES Encryption
The HPE LTO-9 Ultrium Data Cartridge supports 256-bit AES hardware encryption, ensuring sensitive business data is securely stored and protected from unauthorized access. This encryption capability allows companies to meet global data protection regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX, protecting corporate, customer, and regulatory data. Encryption is performed at the hardware level of the tape drive, making it more secure and faster than software-based encryption. With encrypted backups, even if a tape is lost or stolen, its data is unreadable without the decryption key, offering maximum security for critical business information.

Blazing-Fast Data Transfer Speeds for Faster Backups
With data transfer rates of up to 400 MB/s (native) and 1,000 MB/s (compressed), the HPE LTO-9 Data Cartridge (Q2079A) delivers industry-leading performance for data transfers, system migrations, and backups. The high-speed throughput enables companies to back up large volumes of data quickly, reducing system downtime and improving operational efficiency. IT teams can complete large-scale backups faster, ensuring business continuity and minimizing disruptions during data transfers. This ultra-fast speed is essential for large enterprises and data centers that manage high-volume data backups on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

30-Year Archival Life for Long-Term Data Preservation
The HPE LTO-9 Data Cartridge (Q2079A) is engineered for long-term archival storage, with a shelf life of up to 30 years under optimal storage conditions. This extended storage lifespan makes it an essential tool for businesses required to retain data for regulatory compliance, audits, or legal obligations. The tape's durable construction resists wear, dust, and environmental changes, allowing for error-free read/write operations even after multiple cycles. For companies with strict data retention policies, this cartridge offers peace of mind that essential data will remain intact and accessible for decades.

Optimized Compatibility with LTO-9 Drives
The HPE LTO-9 Data Cartridge (Q2079A) is fully compatible with LTO-9 drives, providing seamless integration with new-generation tape storage systems. While LTO-9 tapes do not offer backward compatibility with previous LTO-8 drives, they support future-proof compatibility with the LTO roadmap for future generations. This ensures that businesses can leverage the increased capacity and performance of LTO-9 while preparing for future LTO technology enhancements. The industry-standard LTO format also ensures compatibility with HPE and third-party tape libraries, enabling seamless integration with modern data storage workflows.
