V-Series LTO Tape Automation


Scalable, Cost-effective Tape Storage Solutions

Plasmon's V-Series LTO Autoloaders and Libraries are a complete range of tape automation architectures, integrating the latest generation of tape technologies to create the most advanced data storage and access solutions currently available.

From the Autoloader V10 (10 cartridges storing up to 2TB* with one drive) to the V102 (102 cartridges storing up to 20.4TB* with up to six drives), Plasmon offers the lowest cost per GB in the industry. Designed for ease of serviceability, Plasmon's V-Series can be configured to meet your current storage requirements and yet grow to meet future storage needs by adding drives and cartridge slots on site.

The Plasmon V-Series offers unprecedented access speeds. With native throughput ranging from 54GB/hr to 324GB/hr, significant time savings in backup, restore and archival operations can be realised.

The LTO-Ultrium format features multi-channel bi-directional linear recording and ALDC dual mode compression algorithm providing up to 200GB of compressed* data per cartridge. To optimise the maximum performance capabilities of LTO-Ultrium, the efficient buffer management and effective data transfer rates of 30MB/Sec*, along with SCSI or Fibre connectivity options create an exceptional offering to shrink tape processing operations and reduce the backup window.

Recognising the increased introduction of automated tape architectures, the LTO-Ultrium format has been designed with ease of automation integration and operational levels to achieve 100% duty cycles. An electronic chip (LTO-CM) is embedded in each cartridge allowing historical usage, file location and other information to be read instantly, speeding up the process of tape loading.
