Long-Term Data Protection with Lenovo Tape Solutions

Lenovo tape drives and cartridges offer secure, reliable, and cost-effective solutions for long-term data storage and archival. As data volumes continue to grow and regulatory requirements increase, tape remains a trusted medium for backup, disaster recovery, and compliance. Lenovo’s LTO-based tape technology is engineered to deliver high-capacity, offline storage with low energy consumption and exceptional durability – making it ideal for organizations with long-term retention needs.

Scalable Archival with LTO Technology

Lenovo tape drives support industry-standard LTO formats, including LTO-6 through LTO-9, with capacities ranging from several terabytes per cartridge to over 45TB compressed. These solutions are commonly deployed in conjunction with Tape Libraries, Rack Servers, and SAN Switches, forming the backbone of enterprise backup strategies and cold data storage architectures.

Tape’s inherent portability and offline nature make it resistant to cyber threats like ransomware, while also supporting air-gap data protection. Lenovo tape systems can be integrated into automated backup workflows and are compatible with leading enterprise backup software platforms, making them easy to manage in complex environments.

Efficient, Secure, and Cost-Effective Storage

One of the primary benefits of Lenovo tape is its low total cost of ownership over time. Once written, tapes require no power or cooling to store, making them significantly more energy-efficient than disk-based storage. With support for hardware encryption, write-once-read-many (WORM) protection, and tamper-evident labeling, Lenovo tapes are also ideal for regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and government, where data integrity is paramount.

When paired with Expansion Modules or Storage Controllers, Lenovo tape systems can scale to support multi-petabyte environments without the operational overhead typically associated with high-capacity storage systems.

Refurbished Tape Drives and Cartridges Available

Refurbished Lenovo tape drives and LTO cartridges are available for organizations looking to expand archival storage or maintain legacy systems. These units are professionally tested for read/write accuracy, mechanical integrity, and media compatibility, making them a practical option for backup expansions or secondary storage strategies.

Preserve and Protect Your Critical Data

Lenovo tape storage offers an unmatched combination of longevity, security, and affordability for businesses serious about data protection. Whether used as part of a tiered storage architecture or a standalone archival solution, Lenovo tape delivers dependable performance year after year.
