Protecting confidential data is nothing new to IT managers -- they have been responsible for restricting access to corporate data and maintaining its physical security since the early days of computing. But in the last couple of years, it has taken on a whole new dimension -- in large part due to the sheer volume of confidential data that is generated and moved around organizations today, the proliferation and tightening of corporate and federal regulations governing the protection of this type of data and the increasing number and visibility of data breaches often involving household name companies. In this white paper you can learn about the growing emphasis on securing data, various data protection strategies and how LTO-4 tape drive encryption can address data security concerns.

In this white paper discover the real cost of storing data long term in a SATA disk system and in an LTO-4 tape system -- and which provides lower total cost of ownership and optimizes energy use. A strategic blend of disk and tape may be optimal to address performance, data protection, archive, costs and energy use objectives.
