Organizations have more data than ever before to manage, protect and preserve for longer periods of time. They must balance between mitigating risks and reducing costs when making data storage investment decisions. The IBM LTO Ultrium 6 Data Cartridge is designed to help organizations manage explosive data growth; sustain rapid, reliable access to data; and ensure business resilience.
