With HP Custom Labeled Media, you no longer have to label your own cartridges, saving you time and the risk of retrieval errors. For no extra charge, cartridges can be supplied with barcode labels bearing your own specified sequences. HP rigorously tests its precision-engineered, high-resolution barcode labels using software unique to the HP Automation Group to evaluate and warrant the performance of its labels. These labels are professionally applied in a clean environment to ensure 100% readability accurate storage and retrieval in busy, automated tape libraries. Custom labeled cartridges ensure 100% label readability and can be ordered online in packs of 20. For those customers who value the added security that RFID adds, customers have the option to integrate it into each label at minimal cost. The RFID tag is embedded into the back of the customized label and offers tracking, audit and security advantages for those with IT asset tracking systems.

• Now includes LTO-6 Ultrium RW, WORM and RFID technology.

Saves Time, Money and Mistakes

Manual labeling is a slow, laborious, error-prone process. With custom labeled media, IT staff no longer have to waste hours peeling, sticking and attaching barcode labels to individual cartridges. HP barcode labels use Tri-Optic products to produce labels that will not peel, distort, reflect or fade. Labels are applied professionally, in a clean, controlled environment to prevent backup disruptions and drive damage. RFID custom labels: Operational efficiencies as a result of bulk reading of media and line of sight reading not being necessary. RFID custom labels: Increases the real time visibility of media so the datacenter can quickly recognize a missing tape and thus reduce a chance of data breaches which can incur heavy fines and brand damage.

Simple, Convenient and Customized

All HP custom labeled cartridges can be ordered with a unique sequence for the barcode labels. As long as the format allows for it, any sequence can be requested. HP Custom Labeled cartridges can be used in any HP and non-HP LTO Ultrium, DLT and SDLT drives.

Excellent Value for Money

HP’s Custom Labeled media cost the same as its unlabeled media. There is no charge for customized labeling. RFID custom label: provides strong ROI as a result of operational efficiencies.

Broad portfolio of custom and non custom options

Available LTO-1 through LTO-6. RW and WORM media. Custom (user chooses sequence) and non custom (off the shelf) options. Tri Optic and RFID options.

HP SDLT storage media is ideally suited for data center and departmental backups where compatibility with existing DLT libraries, performance, and cost per megabyte are critical. HP DLT is ideal for mid-range to enterprise requiring reliable, high-capacity back up. DLT is the answer to the high-capacity storage and archiving needs of mid-range systems, network servers and high-end workstations.

Stores 40-80 GB (compressed capacity) on one cartridge. 30-year guaranteed archival life. Durability up to 1,000,000 head passes or an average of 10,000 loads/unloads. Rigorously tested for optimal reliability and data integrity. Use of HP DLT media with HP drives to create the exceptional back up solution. HP DLT data cartridges are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Solid and liquid lubricants in tape binder system to reduce tape and drive head wear. HP DLT1's Tapesense System rejects damaged media to ensure reliability is not compromised. HP DLT Cleaning Cartridges provide 20 cleans Improved leader pin threading and accurate tape reel positioning, which ensures load/unload reliability at the critical point where the drive engages with the media and pulls tape from the spool.

HPE LTO Ultrium, Super DLT and DLTtape IV Bar Code Label Packs provide an easy-to-use solution to the aggravation of bar coding. Under constant pressure to deliver quality of service with limited resources, the last thing IT managers should be worrying about is why their in-house bar code labels aren't working properly or whose turn it is to operate (or run) the departmental label printer. Each HPE label pack of consecutively numbered bar codes contains 100 data labels and 10 cleaning cartridge labels. No two pack sequences are ever identical to avoid data integrity issues in archives. HPE Bar Code Label Packs will be available from most resellers that stock HPE brand media. Finally, HPE Bar Code Label Packs have been fully tested to guarantee performance in demanding automation environments, so unlike cheaper alternatives, users can be certain that their backups will never be disrupted by bar code quality issues.

• Now includes LTO-7 Ultrium technology

Saves Time, Money and Mistakes

Allows staff to focus on more important tasks. Cost effective bar code labels. HPE approved labels for maximum reliability. Simple to apply to all cartridges.

Exhaustively tested, HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges meet all your demands for maximum reliability when restoring data, offering high storage density, ease of management and scalable storage and backup performance. Covering seven generations of capacity - LTO-1 (200 GB), LTO-2 (400 GB), LTO-3 (800 GB), LTO-4 (1.6 TB), LTO-5 (3 TB), LTO-6 (6.25 TB), LTO-7 (15 TB) – and with transfer speeds of up to 2.5 TB/hr for LTO-7, there is a platform for every need and budget. From LTO-3 onwards, LTO Ultrium WORM cartridges enable the creation of compliant, permanent and tamperproof archives. From LTO-4 onwards, secure AES-256 encryption provides even higher levels of data security and compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access. From LTO-5 onwards, LTO Ultrium Linear Tape File System makes using tape as easy, flexible, portable and intuitive as using other removable and sharable media, such as a USB drive.

• Massive increase in capacity: 400% improvement versus LTO-5 and 140% capacity versus LTO-6.

• Significant increase in performance - possible to store 2.5 TB/hr using LTO-7.

• Built-in AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1) (LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6, LTO-7) - granted FIPS140-2 Level 1 certification.

Highest Capacity and Performance of any Comparable Tape Technology

HPE LTO-7 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering 2.5 TB/hour, storing, encrypting and protecting up to 15 TB on a single cartridge, making it the big hitter in large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments. A 64% increase in the number of tracks and a 25% increase in bit density has permitted an increase in capacity from 6.25 TB for LTO-6 to 15 TB to LTO-7: from 2,176 tracks for LTO-6 to 3,584 tracks for 7th generation HPE LTO-7 Ultrium 15 TB cartridges. LTO Ultrium cartridge memory chip delivers faster access time and enhanced media monitoring. First time restore ensured with fewer media failures and disrupted backups, regardless of duty cycle or environmental conditions.

Ultra-reliable

Superior 'smart grabber' mechanism and mechanical interlock to prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing. Sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape. Simplified tape path to reduce wear and tear and build up of and debris (important in automation). HPE brand qualification test procedures (load/unload, shoeshine, drop testing and environmental stress testing) go far beyond what is required for the LTO Ultrium logo. This ensures maximum reliability for restoring your data. HPE warrants LTO Ultrium cartridges for up to 30 years archival life. This ensures businesses can meet the ever-increasing demands of regulation for data retention and archiving.
