Cutting-edge LTFS Appliance

Expand your S3 or NAS storage with LTFS Tapes for seamless archiving. Say goodbye to cumbersome tape management and hello to a streamlined and effective solution for all your archiving needs. 

UNLOCK YOUR TAPE LIBRARY'S POTENTIAL WITH LTFS

With LTFS technology, users can effortlessly transfer files to and from tape as if they were on a standard disk volume.

Our LTFS appliance seamlessly combines the benefits of disk with the reliability of tape storage. By consolidating LTFS tapes within a tape library alongside a small disk portion, we offer an affordable, dependable, and high-capacity data archiving solution.

DATA ARE ACCESSIBLE FROM NETWORK SHARES

As we all know only roughly 20% on average of storage systems is active data. Nodeum's innovative solution allows moving the other 80% of the data into solutions based on NAS Storage, Object Storage or Tape Storage. This results in a much lower TCO, due to cost of infrastructure, but also cost of power consumption and cooling.

KEY BENEFITS

icon-set-nodeum-cleanup-white_user EASY ACCESS TO FILES

End users can access files with an explorer-compatible view and easily use "drag and drop" without needing administrator intervention. File access from LTFS tape is quick, measured in seconds, with file transfers reaching speeds of up to 900MB/s in compressed mode and 360MB/s in native mode.

 
Nodeum_Icon_Tape_227 EXPAND ARCHIVE CAPACITY

The solution enables high scalability by easily adding tape cartridges to the tape library. And even more, by connecting multiple tape libraries. 

Hardware upgrades are non-disruptive, and more storage capacity can be managed with fewer resources.

 
icon-set-nodeum-cleanup-white_cost-reduction2 REDUCE STORAGE COSTS

Data mover move less used data from primary storage to tape storage, thus reducing the overall cost of storage.

Furthermore, tape storage is seen as a green storage. This has an impact on the electric bills but also decreases cooling requirements.
