Keep backup data under control with a rack-mounted LTO-8 tape package designed for durable, offline retention. HPE pairs an Ultrium LTO-8 drive with five LTO-8 cartridges, giving teams a straightforward way to move large backup sets off primary storage and into a format built for long-term preservation. LTO-8 delivers 12 TB native capacity per cartridge and up to 30 TB compressed, making it well suited for organizations that need to retain more data without expanding disk-based backup footprints. The rack-mount form factor fits into established infrastructure environments where physical security, air-gapped storage, and predictable media economics matter. For teams managing compliance archives, disaster recovery copies, or periodic full backups, tape remains a disciplined storage tier. This bundle is especially useful when you want to reduce dependence on always-on storage while keeping a clear path for offline recovery. It is a practical choice for environments that value capacity density, media portability, and the operational control that tape still provides.
