Following on from the hugely successful mTape, the world’s first Thunderbolt certified LTO-6 tape drive, mLogic is demonstrating mTape Extreme at IBC on the Global Distribution stand 7.J31.
mTape Extreme is a 2U rack-mount backup/archiving solution offering unparalleled capacity and performance. mTape Extreme fuses the latest in enterprise class digital tape technology with the ease of use of LTFS. The system also features RAID 6 disk storage and dual bus Thunderbolt connectivity. mTape Extreme provides data transfer rates up to 360MB/second and 10TB (native) of storage capacity per tape cartridge. mTape Extreme is over twice as fast as LTO-6 and offers four times the storage capacity per tape.
mTape Extreme is designed for maximum reliability for 24/7 mission critical environments. The enterprise level error checking on mTape Extreme means that the chance of a bit error occurs only once every 12,499 Petabytes - this is five orders of magnitude greater reliability than enterprise SATA hard drive technology.
