Manage Unlimited Externalized Cartridges
The system manages any number of externalized cartridges,
providing an unlimited total capacity. There are no license fees for
externalized capacity.
When offline files are accessed, the system prompts with email alerts
and on-screen notifications, identifying the cartridge that should be
imported back into the system.

LTFS Prevents Vendor Lock-In
LTO cartridges are written in either the exchange LTFS
format or the open standard TAR format.
The use of a standard format prevents vendor lock-in –
proprietary formats make it very costly to ever switch to
another vendor.
