What Do the Numbers Mean?Move 100 terabytes of data within 8 hour window:

13 tape drives and 34 cartridges needed
Note: This is based on compressed performance of 750 MB/sec and compressed capacity of 15 TB. Compression on LTO-5 is 2:1. The ratio for LTO-7 is estimated at 2.5:1 .
LTO-5 LTO-7
Only 5 drives and 7 cartridges needed
OR, with the same number of drives the 8 hour window could be cut to under 2 hours 51 minutes!

Performance MB/Sec
LTO-7’s New Head Technology• LTO-6 worked with a 16 channel head• LTO-7: 32 channel TS technology head actuator
– Much higher data rates – Time reduction of ~ 50% to write/read a cartridge– Reduced head and tape wear
New Media for a New Generation• Metal Particle – Generations 1 through 6• BaFe provides greater linear density because:
– smaller particle size – higher Signal-to-Noise ratio
• Oxidation
How can we use abigger, faster tape?
Consider the Archive…
• Large volumes of data coming from primary storage• “Active Archives” keep data available though the
primary storage pool even though they’re on tape

Consider the Cloud…
• Key elements:– HTTP & Object Storage
• The beauty of https://www• REST Architecture• RESTful API’s
• GET• PUT• LIST• DELETE
Created by Amazon, S3 simplifies web storage - Proven technology and wide adoption (2+ trillion objects)- Many clients and client developers

The Roadmap is Larger Than You Think
• Fujifilm and IBM Announcement– May 19th, 2014– Approximately 62 times more capacity than LTO-6– Increased density of 85.9 Gb/in² compared to 2 Gb/in²
with LTO-6– Demoed a 154 TB tape – Expected availability 2024
