• Compliance Ready: supports WORM cartridges required by legal and regulatory record keeping
• Fast Tape Creation: up to 360MB/s native, up to 900MB/s1 compressed transfer rates

The answer to this challenge is the Mercury Pro LTO. This easily integrated tape backup/archiving solution is a mission-critical requirement for protecting and preserving huge volumes of data for longer periods with familiar drag-and-drop operation and better economies of scale than disk-based storage. Ruggedly small with a built-in handle, the Mercury Pro LTO is able to go on-set or move among studio, department or office computers for a shared data protection solution.

ADVANCED YET FUTURE-READY

Because LTFS is an open, cross-platform system, and LTO tape is the dominant archiving medium that has continued to advance since being introduced in 2000, you can be confident knowing you'll be able to access your data with any brand of LTO hardware for decades to come. The Mercury Pro LTO uses the latest 12TB LTO-8 tapes, the previous generation 6TB LTO-7 tapes, and was designed to use future release LTO-9 drives.

MEETS STRINGENT REGULATIONS

Whether you need to keep sensitive data secure during transportation or ensure irreplaceable data will be archive protected, the Mercury Pro LTO enables healthcare, financial, and related industries to meet strict legal and regulatory procedures for data confidentiality and integrity. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption conceals your data from unauthorized access by making it readable only by the Mercury Pro LTO. By using a WORM (Write Once, Ready Many) LTO tape, you can store your data in a non-erasable, non-rewritable format to prevent accidental overwrite or malicious data alteration.

THE PERFECT SOLUTION - FOR A VARIETY OF INDUSTRIES

LTO Tape archiving is used by a wide variety of industries for diverse needs:

• Anyone seeking offsite data storage that is separated from the read/write host.
• Businesses desiring database and content backup protection against ransomware, cyber-attacks, and operations disruption due to natural disasters.
• Local/State/Federal Government agencies with ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) workflows; video and files related to law/ordinance passage and day-to-day operations.
• Healthcare providers and organizations with medical records and imaging data.
• Educational institutions needing to keep a myriad of data - including research - produced by students, teachers, and professors accessibly protected while freeing up more costly storage options for short term use and backup.
• Video surveillance operations with increasing number of higher resolution colorized cameras.
• Motion picture industry production companies needing to meet bondable and insurable archive requirements
• Digital media companies can free up production disk capacity and shorten production windows by reusing and editing existing footage for new productions.

SIMPLE WORKFLOW - INTEGRATION AND EXPANSION

The Mercury Pro LTO enables you to archive data seamlessly in your workflow via the included Thunderbolt 3 cable connected to your Mac. You can also optionally enhance your workflow by:

1. Adding up to a 4TB SSD to the 2.5/3.5-inch drive expansion bay for extra storage and backup capacity.
2. Connecting a USB 3.0, USB-C, or Thunderbolt 3 device to the Mercury Pro LTO’s second Thunderbolt 3 port for added functionalities
3. Adding a second display with up to 8K resolution via the DisplayPort 1.4 interface
4. Keeping your notebook charged with the 85W Thunderbolt 3 port

INCLUDES MYLTO SOFTWARE - FROM IMAGINE PRODUCTS

The Mercury Pro LTO includes myLTO software for the Mac making the process of archiving your data easy, safe and secure. Through its simple drag-and-drop interface, myLTO gives you powerful archive options like queuing multiple copies with copy verification notification. You can also create customized reports with thumbnails and metadata to locate files after archival quickly. Fast and safe, myLTO uses checksum technology for guaranteed accuracy throughout the copy process.

USE CASE SPOTLIGHT: NETFLIX DATA MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS

LTO solutions like the Mercury Pro LTO have become a workflow requirement for production companies like Netflix, which employing a 3:2:1 rule to safeguard OCF (original camera footage), provide off-site backup, and fulfill long-term archiving of series and films. In every “rule,” Netflix lists LTO tapes as an acceptable archival ?format, and a critical ?component ?in ?meeting ?their partner data management requirements.
