C7975AN Use Case
Enterprise Server Backup with C7975AN-20PK LTO5 ULTRIUM 3TB Cartridges
In a multinational corporation’s IT environment, system administrators deploy the C7975AN-20PK LTO5 ULTRIUM 3TB NON CUSTOM LABELED DATA CATRIDGE PL=7A to perform nightly full-server backups of virtual machines and critical databases. The high-capacity 3TB native/6TB compressed storage per cartridge reduces tape library swaps and increases throughput to 140 MB/s, ensuring that large workloads complete within maintenance windows. This solution delivers reliable off-line data protection, accelerates disaster recovery, and meets stringent RTO/RPO objectives.
Regulatory-Compliant Long-Term Archive for Healthcare Records
A regional hospital implements the C7975AN-20PK LTO5 ULTRIUM 3TB NON CUSTOM LABELED DATA CATRIDGE PL=7A to store patient imaging and electronic health records (EHR) for a minimum of seven years as mandated by HIPAA. Using automated tape rotation and WORM-compatible backup software, IT teams guarantee data immutability and tamper-evidence throughout the retention period. This approach minimizes on-site storage costs, simplifies audit preparedness, and ensures full compliance with healthcare data privacy regulations.
High-Volume Media Asset Archiving in Post-Production Studios
A film production house relies on the C7975AN-20PK LTO5 ULTRIUM 3TB NON CUSTOM LABELED DATA CATRIDGE PL=7A to archive raw 4K video footage and project files from editing suites. By leveraging 400-meter tape lengths and load/unload reliability, post-production teams catalog and store terabytes of data off-site, freeing expensive SSD/NAS capacity for active editing. The result is a scalable, cost-effective archive with predictable retrieval times and a shelf life exceeding 30 years.
