LTO-3 FH

Enhanced performance and capacity
The third-generation LTO, the Tandberg 840LTO is designed to help meet the storage challenges faced by IT organizations today. First, there is the enormous growth in data, fueled by business continuity, regulatory compliance and information lifecycle management initiatives. Then, there are initiatives to improve IT operations, such as infrastructure simplification, improved administrative productivity and more reliable, cost-effective data protection.
Enhancements in third-generation drives
The Tandberg 840LTO introduces new features that can help increase throughput, capacity and reliability over previous generation LTO drives? while also helping to protect critical data: A new 16-channel head design increases drive performance. Digital Speed Matching (DSM) is designed to help improve throughput in environments where the host data rate is less than optimal; reduction of the overall power consumption from that of previous generation LTO drives. A redesigned head actuator provides improved read head tracking capability and performance. Enhanced power management results in reduced heat dissipation and greater operational efficiency than that of previous generation LTO drives.
Low total cost of ownership
The high performance and capacity of Tandberg 840LTO can help reduce the number of tape cartridges, tape drives and tape libraries required in a storage environment. Compatibility with prior generations of Ultrium media makes it possible for customers to easily migrate to this new generation.
