Product information for HPE Q2078A:
Applications
The cartridge is designed for businesses and IT infrastructures that rely on reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient backup solutions. It is especially suitable for backing up large data volumes, such as those generated in databases, virtualization, and cloud environments. Use in tape library systems enables automated, highly available backup processes without manual intervention.
Features and Specifications in Detail
The HPE LTO-8 Ultrium cartridge Q2078A is designed as a rewritable (RW) data cartridge, meaning it can be reused multiple times without losing storage capacity. The native capacity is 12 TB, and with data compression, the effective storage capacity can reach up to 30 TB. The cartridge is green in color, which is typical for LTO-8 generation cartridges, and is supplied individually. It is available without a label (no label), allowing for custom labeling.
Technology Explained Simply
The cartridge uses LTO-8 technology, based on a magnetic tape with a length of 960 meters housed in a robust casing. The high storage density is achieved through advanced magnetic tape technology and precise drive mechanics. The compression function uses standardized algorithms to reduce redundant data, thereby increasing effective storage capacity. Rewritability allows the cartridge to be reused after a complete data erase, enhancing cost-efficiency.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cartridge is specifically developed for LTO-8 Ultrium drives, particularly models such as the HPE StoreEver LTO-8 Ultrium 30750. It is part of the LTO-8 ecosystem and can be used in compatible tape library systems.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by inserting the cartridge into the corresponding LTO-8 drive. No additional tools or mounting procedures are required. The cartridge is simply placed into the drive, where automatic detection and initialization are handled by the drive.
Operational Advantages
The cartridge offers high storage capacity with minimal physical footprint, making backup storage and management more efficient. Rewritability reduces long-term operating costs. Compatibility with LTO-8 drives ensures seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures. The green color facilitates visual identification within cartridge inventories.
