HPE LTO Ultrium Storage Media
Hewlett Packard Enterprise offers a comprehensive data protection portfolio for Hybrid IT, recognizing the critical role of tape media reliability in long-term archiving and protection against accidental or intentional data corruption. HPE is not just a media supplier but a storage technology leader: LTO Ultrium cartridges serve as the ultimate 'last line of defense,' supporting HPE’s comprehensive Hybrid IT data protection solutions.
Compared to the logo test, HPE enforces more stringent, controlled specifications in key areas such as environmental interchangeability and load/unload cycles. HPE also implements rigorous process controls, including ongoing Full Volume Life tests and the Green Tape Test (GTT). HPE’s brand specifications are broader and deeper than those defined by the LTO logo test, as HPE’s media reliability tests consider media usage, not just manufacturing.
HPE’s leadership in data storage and deep tape heritage enable metrics that actively shape LTO media R&D and manufacturing. This expertise directly improves user experience and delivers superior tape media products—for example, the HPE Green Tape Test, the gold standard for archival durability. Since early 2016, over 8,500 cartridges have been tested under the demanding HPE GTT protocol. Nearly 950 million meters of media have been pulled, and over 55 million gigabytes of data written.
Backed by this relentless media qualification process, HPE LTO Ultrium data cartridges support all HPE StoreEver tape devices as well as non-HPE LTO Ultrium drives. The latest eighth-generation products minimize network and SAN backup interruptions by enabling protection of 1.30 TB/hour of data at native speeds and storing up to 12 TB native capacity (30 TB assuming 2.5:1 compression) on a single cartridge (480% greater capacity than HPE LTO-6 Ultrium tapes and 1000% greater than LTO-5).
