IBM tape solutions continue to lead the industry in delivering sustainable, secure, and scalable data storage. Unlike spinning disk or cloud, tape offers a true air-gap, making it inherently resilient to ransomware your files go offline once written, safeguarding against cyber threats. IBM’s enterprise tape systems combine ultra-low cost per terabyte with minimal power requirements and decades-long media lifespans. They support modern features like LTFS for file-style access, RAO (Recommended Access Order) for faster restores, and AES-256 encryption with WORM options for compliance. Built for hybrid-cloud, archival, and high-capacity workloads, IBM tape libraries and drives offer performance, durability, and peace of mind that modern enterprises demand.
