APRIL 2018 Mitigate the Risk of Ransomware and Optimize Costs with LTO Technology The LTO Program will be hosting a webinar on Thursday, April 26 at 12:00 PM ET where they will be discussing findings from IDC's latest white paper, Using Tape to Optimize Data Protection Costs and Defeat Malware for Data-Centric Organizations, available for download here. During the webinar, the LTO Program team will be joined by Phil Goodwin, IDC Research Director of Storage Systems and Software, to discuss insights into the current state of cyber-security, the global datasphere forecast, data protection best-practices and the role that LTO-8 tape technology will play in the storage industry. The LTO Program and IDC will dive into detail to address organization's concerns about the security and costs of their data storage as businesses steadfastly progress into their move towards digital transformation. At the end of the webinar, the team will field questions from the audience as part of a live Q&A session. Explore LTO technology as a storage solution and register for our free webinar here. Media Shipment Report Confirms Tape's Position in the Market The relevance of tape in the storage landscape is reinforced by the findings in the LTO Program's annual Media Shipment Report, which details year-over-year tape cartridge shipments and reveals record-breaking amounts of capacity shipped in 2017. The report showed a record 108,457 petabytes (PB) of total tape capacity (compressed) shipped in 2017, an increase of 12.9 percent over the previous year. To put this immense amount of tape capacity into perspective, two PB of data is equivalent to roughly the amount of information in all United States' research libraries*. Multiply that number by 54,228 for a better understanding of the massive amount of data capacity shipped in 2017! Once the new LTO-8 tape media starts ramping up in 2018, media capacity shipments are expected to grow as tape users migrate to these newer technologies |
