The HPE LTO-7 Ultrium 15000 tape drive represents Hewlett Packard Enterprise's seventh generation of LTO tape drive technology providing enterprise tape drive monitoring and management capabilities with HPE TapeAssure, ease of use with support for LTFS and AES 256-bit hardware data encryption easy-to-enable security to protect the extra sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access of tape cartridges. With Speed Matching feature further optimizes performance by matching speed of host to keep drives streaming and increase the reliability of the drive and media. HPE LTO Ultrium half-height drives are designed for server customers in direct attached storage (DAS) environments.For IT organizations with stringent, long-term data retention requirements, the Ultrium 15000's WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) data protection feature offers a simple and secure method for archiving records as part of a compliance solution to meet tough of industry regulations. The Ultrium 15000 tape drives provide investment protection with full read and write backward support with LTO-6 media, and the ability to read LTO-5 cartridges. By more than doubling the native capacity of previous generation Ultrium drives, Hewlett Packard Enterprise customers require fewer data cartridges to meet their storage needs, significantly reducing their IT costs and increasing their ROI.
High capacity
Large-capacity drive requires fewer data cartridges to meet storage needs, significantly reducing IT and archiving costs.
Ease of use with LTFS and HPE StoreOpen
Providing a self-describing file system with HPE LTO-5 or higher generation cartridges, which enables the combined archiving benefits of application independence, transportability and protection from obsolescence.
Fast
Fast data transfer rate to meet demands of even tight backup window.
Manageable
HPE Library and Tape Tools (LTT) provides HPE TapeAssure health monitoring and operational information on performance and utilization for peace of mind and to allow you to optimize your configuration to get more out of your drives and media as well as help with installation and troubleshooting.
Affordable
High capacity combined with low media cost delivers an exceptionally low cost of ownership and ensures a faster return on investment.
Reliable
HPE's exclusive data rate matching feature automatically adjusts the drive's read and write speed based on the server and network environment, which increases performance, reduces mechanical wear on the drive, and extends tape life. Soft-load feature automatically takes the data cartridge and moves it into the load position. Advanced tape leader capture design ensures fail-safe cartridge loading. Active head cleaning provides automated cleaning that increases head life and reduces the need for using the cleaning cartridge. Lower power consumption for maximum reliability with minimum environmental costs.
Investment protection
Delivers a compelling technology roadmap that offers higher capacity and performance tape solutions with backward read and write compatibility for previous drive generations.
Open
Based on the LTO technology open standard, delivering customers a greater choice of vendors and solutions without compromising compatibility across Ultrium products.
