Groundbreaking LTO LTFS Nearline and Archive

Linear Tape-Open (LTO) with Linear Tape File System (LTFS) archiving technology is the most cost-effective and reliable long-term storage option for the immense amounts of file-based content generated by professional media pipelines. This archive medium plays a critical role in managing explosive data growth.

DNAevolution combines nearline and archive storage directly on LTO tape to offer a dramatically more cost-effective infrastructure, with speeds dramatically faster than network-based solutions.

DNAevolution, designed to leverage the advantages of LTFS, maximizes its “direct access” ability while providing digital workflows never before available. Engineered for media environments, it delivers the fastest data movement, search, restore, and access of your digital file-based content.

With DNAevolution, you can streamline your media pipeline and build a more cost-effective, scalable, searchable, and secure archive.
