. IBM LTO Ultrium Generation 5 media has been designed to deliver exceptional capacity and reliability at a lower cost per GB than other types of storage medium. Cartridge capacity of up to 3 TB (at 2 1 compression) helps reduce the number of cartridges and the amount of equipment space and labor associated with tape-based storage. In addition it helps reduce the time associated with backup and restore operations by reducing the amount of cartridge handling further lowering operational costsKey Product Info .
