Data tapes have come a long way, from a few megabytes to a 45TB single LTO-9 tape. Known for their reliability, low cost per TB and air gap protection, data tapes are the mainstay of backup technology. We carry the industry's leading brands such as HPE, IBM and Quantum for tape media. We also sell Turtle cases for tape transport and fireproof safes for permanent storage. We are also a certified partner of Trioptics for the Middle East to sell custom barcode labels for LTO tapes.

LTO Ultrium Tapes UAE

Today, LTO Ultrium (Linear Tape Open) is the most popular backup tape format. HPE, IBM and Quantum are working together to support LTO tape technical specifications. A clear roadmap for the future, scalability, an open format and continuous innovation set LTO Ultrium apart from all other tape formats. We deal with all brands of LTO Ultrium, including HPE, IBM, Fuji and Quantum, which are the most popular. We can also supply hard-to-find brands such as Dell LTO and Lenovo LTO tapes.

RDX Storage Media

RDX media is the simplest media for backups. There are 2 variants of RDX media - SSD-based and HDD-based. Although it looks like a tape media and is as easy to store and handle as a tape, inside is an HDD or SSD. The simplicity is in the ease of use (USB drives, drag and drop, look like an external hard drive in your computer), performance (same performance as an SSD or HDD), and compatibility (a single dock can use all the capacities of RDX Media). Tandberg/overland is the owner of RDX Media and Dell RD10000 and HP RDX both use this technology.
