Proven Reliability

With a rating of 2,000,000 robot load/unload cycles, the 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader provides necessary high reliability for today's demanding environment. To improve reliability and longevity, all HPE Ultrium products feature Data Rate Matching (DRM). This allows the tape drive to dynamically adjust the speed of the drive down to one-third the native transfer rate of the tape drive to match the speed of the host.. This increases performance, reduces mechanical wear on the tape drive, and extends tape life.

Longevity

Organizations need to be confident that their data in archive is still there when they need it. LTO tape media is specified with a 30 year shelf life in normal ambient conditions.

Disaster Recovery and Security

Removable media also has the advantage that data is held 'offline' which means that archive data on tape has the additional level of protection from the threats to on-line data from viruses, hackers and cyber-attacks. All Ultrium tape drives (since generation 4) include hardware based data encryption to prevent unauthorized access to data at rest and cartridges are available with write-once-read-many (WORM) capability to prevent accidental overwriting of data archived on the tape. Both WORM and hardware data encryption features help organizations to comply with increased data security regulations.

Encryption

The HPE 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader offers multiple options for data encryption, depending on the requirements for policy, regulation, compliance, and centralized key management.

Protect the confidentiality and integrity of your data: 
The HPE 1/8 G2 & MSL Encryption Kit provides a library-enabled encryption solution that greatly enhances data privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of your critical business data while supporting compliance requirements. While there are a wide range of encryption solutions available, the HPE 1/8 G2 & MSL Encryption Kit is intended to be an easy and affordable library-enabled solution for small businesses. 

The encryption kit includes two USB key server tokens, product documentation, and firmware support. One encryption kit is needed per library or autoloader and it must be physically accessible so that the USB token can be inserted into the automation device. One of the two tokens will plug into the USB port in the autoloader or library and will generate and maintain encryption keys for the LTO-7, LTO-6, LTO-5 and LTO-4 drives/libraries. The USB key server token uses a hardware random number generator, password authentication, and digital envelopes for strong encryption keys and security operations. The encryption kit provides a self-contained solution for autoloaders and MSL libraries with no additional software, PCs, or servers required or involved. 

Protect critical data across an enterprise:

To meet requirements for larger scale encryption key managers, the HPE 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader supports KMIP 1.2 compliant key managers. With the purchase of the KMIP Encryption License, the 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader  and MSL libraries will be able to request encryption keys from KMIP 1.2 compliant key managers, for data encryption and key management.

LTO Ultrium Technology

HPE LTO (Linear Tape Open) Ultrium Tape Drives use best of breed technology. By taking the best features from other tape technologies and combining them into a single new technology, Ultrium tape drives are in a league of their own. The LTO Ultrium specification is an industry standard format; thus data written on HPE Ultrium Tape Drives can be interchanged directly with Ultrium Tape Drives from other vendors.

Investment protection

HPE LTO tape drives and automation products are founded on the LTO open standard and adhere to the published LTO format roadmap to Generation 10. The ability to read back two generation and read/write back one generation of media, assures LTO customers’ investment protection.

Data Rate Matching

Data Rate Matching combines sophisticated buffer management with variable tape drivemotor speeds to match the tape drive transfer rate to the host output. . This feature ensures that the tape drive continues to stream data regardless of the environment, and brings three big advantages:

• It optimizes performance and maximizes overall efficiency, allowing the drive to respond immediately to any data speed changes from the host.
• It minimizes rewinding and repositioning of the tape, significantly reducing physical wear and increasing reliability.
• It minimizes the power requirements for the drive by reducing the number of repositions needed.

HPE Ultrium WORM

Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store and manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies that can verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years. 
Every generation of LTO Ultrium since LTO-3 tape drives feature the ability to archive and store data in a read-only, non-rewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a combination of integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape formatting, LTO Ultrium provides the ability to archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure, untampered state. Ultrium tape drives include support for both rewritable and WORM media providing for a secure, long-term archiving solution into any data protection strategy. LTO Ultrium WORM provides the following advantages:

• A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs
• Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM data cartridges
• A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to prevent accidental or intentional overwriting of data
• Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most comprehensive and mainstream support in the industry
• The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all third- and fourth-generation LTO Ultrium products

NOTE: While all HPE LTO-7, LTO-6, LTO-5, and LTO-4 Ultrium tape drives support LTO Ultrium WORM media, some third, fourth and fifth-generation LTO Ultrium tape drives from other manufacturers may not include read and write support for LTO Ultrium WORM media. For non-HPE third- and fourth-generation LTO Ultrium tape drives, please check the manufacturers' specifications to ensure this support is provided if you are using your WORM media. If WORM support is not provided, the drive will eject the WORM tape cartridge immediately upon insertion into to the tape drive.

HPE Library and Tape Tools
