Due to the rapid growth in the activities of E-commerce, the data storage needs have exploded over the past decade. Data retention laws also have become more stringent. Ideal solution is to have an ongoing backup routine. That’s why the companies are now looking to adopt more cost effective and higher capacity storage solutions. LTO storage format has been the most highly preferred medium. LTO ultrium tape technology continues to play an effective role in assisting the organization to recover from common threats that lead to complete data loss.

Sony’s high quality LTO backup tape devices assure peace of mind, as they are more reliable to protect your sensitive data from all sorts of threats. Sony LTO-2 tape, part number LTX200GWW, reflects the technological innovative capabilities and vast technical expertise of Sony. Sony LTX200GWW is the best economical storage tape that meets the demands of higher reliability, improved cost effectiveness, longer working life and superior scalability.

Up to 200GB native information can be backed up on to LTX200GWW ultrium tape. Thanks to the high capacity Sony LTO2 tape, you can backup large data amounts onto fewer ultrium-2 tapes. With Sony LTX200GWW cartridge, you will get double the capacity of LTO-1 storage media at lowest cost per GB. New media formulation has been engineered by Sony for the development of LTO-2 tape cartridges. Sony LTO2 format can be reliably used in workstations, SMBs, remote offices and data intensive E-business applications.

Uniform, smooth and finer media is essential to ensure higher output frequency in severe working conditions and faster transfer speeds. That’s why Sony has used advanced media coating mechanisms and media formulations. These superior manufacturing techniques have helped to improve the smoothness of tape reel and reduce its thickness to 8.9 µm. The users of Sony LTO-2 can be confident of unmatched data reliability at higher data rate of 40 MB/s (uncompressed).

A built-in 4-KB memory chip features in each Sony LTX200GWW tape. Vital information about the cartridge including usage history, file log etc. is held by this unique memory chip. Memory chip’s information is read by the LTO drives. This helps to markedly accelerate the process of cartridge access in the library environments. Vital Information stored in memory chip also boosts the process of file searching.

LTO2 tape brands are listed below:

(D2405-LTO2) TDK LTO2 backup tape
(340-8701) Dell LTO2 tape
(08L9870) IBM LTO-2 tape
(183850) Maxell LTO 2 ultrium tape
(16598, 16600) Imation LTO2 data tapes
(MR-L2MQN-01) Quantum LTO 2
(C7972A) HP ultrium LTO2
(26220001) Fuji LTO 2 ultrium tape

In order to reduce the tape friction and prevent tape slip during heavy duty-cycles, Sony has redesigned the architecture of LTX200GWW ultrium-2 cartridge. This new tape design helps to deliver outstanding data transfer stability by steadying the rotation of tape reel during increased workloads. New servo writer has been developed by Sony for LTO tape cartridges. Improved servo writer ensures reduced data tracking errors, low cost per GB and strong magnetic servo signals in data rich applications. Sony LTO2 tapes perform exceptionally well in stand alone and automated environments.
