Symply has announced the rollout of support for the latest generation of LTO-10 Enterprise Technology across its Tape Portfolio, including standalone and modular tape library solutions designed for high-capacity backup and archival needs.
The upgraded SymplyPRO lineup now supports LTO-10, this includes: SymplyPRO Ethernet – Desktop and Rackmount standalone LTO drives with 10Gb Ethernet connectivity; SymplyPRO Thunderbolt – Desktop and Rackmount standalone LTO drives with Thunderbolt & SAS connectivity and SymplyPRO XTL 40 and 80 – Mid-range and Enterprise modular tape libraries featuring SAS, Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and Thunderbolt interfaces.
LTO-10 enables a massive increase in capacity, reaching up to 30TB uncompressed and 75TB compressed per cartridge. The enterprise full-height drives have a native performance of up to 400MB/Sec, making the technology an ideal solution for AI, CSPs, MSPs, as well as organisations handling large datasets in industries such as media and entertainment.
LTO-10 gives up to 30TB native and 75TB compressed capacity per cartridge, and a native performance of 400MB/sec.
LTO-10 offers air-gapped protection against ransomware and cyber threats; LTFS support for simplified access and indexing of archived files and provides low-power, long-term storage “at a fraction of the environmental cost of disk or cloud.”
Keith Warburton, CEO of Symply, said, “LTO-10 is a sea change in technology with a completely new design, including new head technology, and new media substrate, making it possible to store these massive capacities on a single cartridge. After months of intensive development and testing, we’re proud to deliver LTO-10 across our entire SymplyPRO range. The combination of LTO-10’s massive capacity with our diverse connectivity options – Thunderbolt, Ethernet, SAS, and Fibre Channel – gives customers unprecedented flexibility in how they architect their backup and archive workflows. Whether it’s a single desktop unit or a large-scale library deployment, this positions Symply at the forefront of next-generation enterprise storage.”
SymplyPRO LTO-10 products will begin shipping in mid-June 2025 and are compatible with media and entertainment backup and archive software applications such as Archiware, Hedge and YoYotta. Initially available in standalone desktop and rackmount formats with Ethernet, SAS, and Thunderbolt interfaces. The SymplyPRO XTL 40 and 80 slot modular libraries will follow later in Q4 2025, featuring interoperability with enterprise backup and archive applications.
