Media Backup & Archive on LTO Tape

Combine Archiware P5 Archive with Qualstar hardware for an easy, reliable, robust and scalable solution.

Archiving is the best method to create space on high performance storage. Migrating data that is no longer needed for daily production reduces the risk of data loss, keeps everything in one place and avoids the hassle of constantly having to increase storage. Archiving also reduces the cost of storage, since tape offers the lowest cost per TB of any medium.
