HP LTO-8 Ultrium 30TB RW Data Cartridge (Q2078A)
EU Plug.
Secure your enterprise data with the HP LTO-8 Ultrium 30TB RW Data Cartridge (Q2078A).
This eighth-generation LTO cartridge offers a massive 30TB compressed capacity, ideal for large-scale backups and long-term archiving.
It provides robust security with AES 256-bit hardware encryption and Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) capability, ensuring data integrity and compliance.
Engineered for exceptional reliability with a 30+ year archival life and high-speed data transfer up to 700 MB/s, it delivers a cost-effective, secure, and efficient solution for modern data centers.
Elevate your data management and protection strategy with the Hewlett Packard Enterprise LTO-8 Ultrium tape. In an era of exponential data growth and increasing cybersecurity threats, this data cartridge stands as a cornerstone for reliable, high-capacity, and low-cost data retention. Designed for the rigorous demands of enterprise-level data centers, the Q2078A provides an unparalleled solution for backing up, archiving, and securing critical information.
The impressive storage capability significantly reduces the physical footprint of your archive, lowering media handling requirements and simplifying management. By storing more data on fewer cartridges, organizations can optimize their TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) while ensuring that vast datasets are safely stored and easily accessible for decades.
Security is paramount, and the LTO-8 Ultrium cartridge offers a multi-layered defense. Beyond its powerful hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption that protects data at rest, its nature as an offline media creates a true “air gap.” This physical isolation from network-connected systems makes it an impenetrable barrier against online threats like ransomware, malware, and viruses. The added WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) functionality creates a non-erasable, non-rewritable data record, which is essential for meeting strict regulatory and compliance mandates.
Built upon advanced Barium Ferrite (BaFe) magnetic particle technology, this cartridge delivers superior recording density and exceptional long-term stability. This technology ensures your data remains intact and readable for over 30 years, far surpassing the lifespan of traditional hard drives or other digital storage formats. This longevity, combined with its robust performance and low energy consumption during storage, makes it the most sustainable and cost-effective choice for long-term archiving.
