The family of HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives is HP's premier line of backup devices. Based on the LTO Ultrium format, an open standard with a well-defined six-generation roadmap, HP Ultrium tape drives offer customers the best choice for investment protection. With ultimate reliability and ease of use in mind, even at 100% duty cycles, HP's rugged design builds on superior LTO technology and adds advanced features like hardware data encryption to create a new level of data protection. The tape drives employ dynamic data rate matching to adjust to the speed of the host, reducing wear and tear on both drive and media and increasing performance, even on slower hosts. HP's ultra-durable soft-load feature automatically positions the data cartridge, and the highly reliable HP leader-capture mechanism virtually eliminates lost leaders, increasing the success of your backup and restore operations. Support for HP One-Button Disaster Recovery provides the easiest way to restore data in the event of a disaster. The StorageWorks family of tape drives also features support for HP Library and Tape Tools, which provides a single application for drive management, diagnostics, and performance optimization.
