Keep long-term backup data offline, portable, and ready for recovery with IBM LTO Ultrium-7 media. This cartridge is designed for organizations that need dense archival storage without adding power, rack space, or always-on infrastructure. With 6 TB native capacity and 15 TB compressed capacity, it supports large backup windows and reduces cartridge count across retention-heavy environments. LTO tape remains a practical choice for air-gapped protection, regulatory retention, and disaster recovery planning. IBM’s Ultrium-7 format gives IT teams a familiar, standardized medium for vaulting backup sets away from primary systems while maintaining a clear path for restores when needed. The labeled cartridge format also simplifies library handling and media tracking in operational environments. For teams balancing storage cost, retention policy, and recovery assurance, this media offers a straightforward way to extend backup coverage without expanding disk-based infrastructure. It is well suited to enterprises that archive large datasets, preserve compliance records, or maintain secondary copies of critical workloads on removable media.
