Prevent 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.

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.
A range of different reports helps manage the entire archive including all
externalized cartridges.
