A leading bank deploys the EH848B-HP LTO-3 Ultrium 920 SAS External Tape Drive to meet stringent record-retention mandates. By writing up to 800 GB per cartridge at sustained 160 MB/s throughput and leveraging WORM (Write Once Read Many) support, the institution achieves tamper-proof, offline storage that simplifies audits, ensures compliance with SEC and FINRA rules, and mitigates data-breach risk.
An international enterprise integrates the EH848B-HP LTO-3 Ultrium 920 SAS External Tape Drive into its weekly backup lifecycle. The drive’s high-speed SAS connectivity and automated tape-loader compatibility deliver full-system images in under two hours. As a result, IT teams secure offsite vaulting, slash recovery-time objectives (RTOs), and maintain business continuity in the event of ransomware or site-level failures.
A post-production studio with growing 4K/8K asset libraries uses the EH848B-HP LTO-3 Ultrium 920 SAS External Tape Drive for long-term archiving. With native 400 GB capacity per tape (up to 800 GB compressed) and ultra-reliable format durability, the studio offloads cold footage from expensive disk arrays, reduces annual storage costs by over 60%, and secures master files in a rugged, offline medium.
