- Quantum’s LTO Ultrium media is compliant with all Media Integrity Analysis utilities. However, use Quantum LTO Ultrium media with Quantum’s Advanced Media Usage Report and Extended Data Life Management (EDLM), and you add another level of protection throughout the lifecycle of your data. Media analysis and usage reports provide a view of the media condition for an entire media pool used within a specific tape library, even those in off-site storage. EDLM is a unique Scalar ® automation feature designed to ensure the media integrity of cartridges placed in long-term archival or vaulted storage and are no longer used during normal operations. When your critical data is involved, it’s important to have a complete health record of your media.

Combined with native AES 256-bit encryption on LTO-7, LTO-6, LTO-5, and LTO-4 drives, WORM cartridges physically prevent data from being overwritten or tampered with, providing a reliable, accurate, and scalable data integrity solution.
- Quantum’s LTO media offering supports your comprehensive, “edge-to-core” backup, recovery, and archive strategy. When you use Quantum media and hardware, you get the added assurance of over 30 years of storage experience and service behind the entire solution.

QUANTUM OFFERS COMPLIMENTARY VALUE- ADDED SERVICES TO SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY MANAGING YOUR MEDIA

Have you ever spent hours unpacking, labeling, and loading media into your library? Why waste IT resources unpacking boxes and labeling cartridges? Your time and your data are valuable. We understand that.

- Allow Quantum to pre-label your data cartridges with your requested bar code label sequences and color scheme. They will arrive ready to load into the library.

No need for individual cartridge cases? No problem! We offer “library packaging” to save you time!

- This eco-friendly bulk packaging option protects cartridges during shipment and storage without the individual cartridge cases. This allows quicker access to the cartridges to expedite loading into automation slots/trays— and it results in less waste.

How to use

Load the MR-L5MQN-01 cartridge into a compatible LTO Ultrium drive or tape library according to your library or drive manufacturer’s instructions. Use your backup or archiving software to format and write data to the cartridge; follow the software vendor’s guidance for backup sets, retention policies and cataloguing. For regular maintenance, run media integrity checks supported by your drive or analysis utilities and record usage statistics if you track cartridge health.

Recommendations

Store cartridges in a controlled environment away from magnetic fields, extreme temperatures and high humidity. Consider using Quantum’s pre-labeling and library packaging services to streamline media handling: pre-labeled cartridges arrive ready to load, and eco-friendly bulk library packaging protects cartridges in transit while reducing waste and speeding automated loading.
