New Challenges - New Solutions with LTO-6 Technology and LTFS

The changing dynamics of data availability to end users is creating new challenges for data center and IT managers. End users are demanding that data of any type of any age be available through a standard file systems interface. This is a challenge for Data managers to balance the file systems availability with the cost of storing the data of which up to 90% could be unaccessed or 'cold' data. Studies have found that up to 95% of data not accessed in 90 days will never be accessed again.

The changing dynamics of data availability to end users is creating new challenges for data center and IT managers. Learn about best practices for managing file system access to data while lowering total costs of ownership, maintaining data security with tape drive encryption, how to utilize disk and tape to address objectives, and LTO-6 technology with Linear Tape File System.
