Quantum's LTO Ultrium media meets the highest industry standards for quality and reliability. This guarantees high performance and long durability when used as primary backup storage or long-term archive. As a member of the LTO consortium, Quantum is committed to the continuous development of the LTO platform. Quantum's comprehensive media quality monitoring and the most stringent compatibility testing ensure cross-platform interoperability, optimal performance and the reliability of Quantum's tape drives, libraries and other LTO-compatible hardware products. Quantum's LTO Ultrium media is supported by all media integrity analysis utilities. Quantum offers you even more security over the entire lifecycle of your data on LTO Ultrium media with Advanced Media Usage Reports and the EDLM (Extended Data Life Management) function. Such media analyses and usage reports provide information about the condition of the media of an entire pool in a specific tape library - even for off-site tapes. EDLM is an automation feature exclusive to the Scalar Library product line. It was developed to ensure the media integrity of cartridges that are archived or stored for a long time and are no longer used in normal operations. Especially when it comes to business-critical data, you always need to be fully aware of the status of your media. LTO Ultrium cartridges with WORM (Write Once, Read Many) functionality meet the latest legal regulations and compliance requirements. In addition to the native AES 256-bit encryption provided by LTO-7, LTO-6, LTO-5 and LTO-4 drives, WORM cartridges contain physical barriers to prevent the data they contain from being overwritten or tampered with. This makes them a reliable, precise and scalable solution for ensuring data integrity. Quantum's LTO media is ideal for companies that rely on a comprehensive edge-to-core strategy for backup, recovery and archiving.
