Could HPE StoreEver help you be more sustainable?

Use the LTO Program Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator to find out if tape storage can contribute to your sustainability goals.

There are too many variables for a definitive statement when it comes to the question of sustainable data storage. What supports environmental goals in one company may not have the same effect in another.

HPE StoreEver isn’t claiming that the simple use of tape, by itself, is a green benefit. Reality is more complex. But with current HPE StoreEver LTO-9 tape systems, you can increase storage efficiency by keeping over 25 Petabytes of data in a single 48U rack1, and preserve copies of that data offline in a unpowered state for up to 30 years2.

To analyse whether HPE StoreEver LTO tape technology can help you improve sustainability metrics for long term cold data storage, try using the LTO Program TCO Calculator. This allows you to model scenarios specific to your business and storage workloads. Who knows, perhaps it might plant a seed for the future arrangement of your data archives?

HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges provide reliable, cost-effective and scalable protection to protect your data from cyber-attack and ransomware threats, as well as meet your data recovery reliability needs. They enable organisations to comply with recommendations from law enforcement agencies around the world to store offline copies of their data. Based on a heritage of nine generations and with transfer speeds of up to 3.6 TB/hr for LTO-9, there is a platform for every budget. Secure AES-256 encryption provides an even higher level of data security and compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorised data access. Using tape drives is as easy, flexible, mobile and intuitive as other removable and shareable storage media (e.g. USB drives) thanks to HPE StoreOpen and the Linear Tape File System. Because LTO cartridges require minimal additional power and cooling when inactive, they offer a greener, more sustainable long-term archiving solution for your data.
