Broad Market Needs
Quantum's comprehensive media quality monitoring and interoperability testing helps ensure cross-platform compatibility, improved performance, and reliability, whether you're using a Quantum tape drive, library, or other LTO-compatible hardware.
Quantum's LTO Ultrium media is compliant with most media integrity analysis utilities. You
can add another level of protection throughout the lifecycle of your data with the Advanced
Media Usage Report and Extended Data Life Management (EDLM) features available in
Quantum LTO Ultrium media. 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 Scalar automation feature designed to help ensure the
media integrity of cartridges placed in long-term archival or vaulted storage that 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.
