LTO Chip Scanning
LTO Chip Scanning identifies deteriorating cartridges before they fail. Most
systems & specialist tape software identifies defective cartridges after they
fail. These cartridge failures can be disruptive and expensive.
However with a pro-active media
policy you can monitor all your cartridges and retire aging or damaged tapes
before they fail saving you time and money.
When saving mission critical data
you must have complete confidence that your data can be recovered without
problems. LTO chip scanning enables you to identify and eliminate any cartridge
that does not meet your standards.
Many problems that appear to be
cartridge problems are caused by tape drives that require service.
LTO chip
scanning uses a simple colour coded scoring system to analyse quickly and
efficiently the quality of individual cartridge, it also allows you to produce
simple reports that breaks down the analysis to show trends occurring in your
libraries.
