Hewlett-Packard said it has delivered qualification units of its second-generation StorageWorks Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium tape drive to six of its key system and library partners, who in turn will build the surrounding hardware.
The six partners include OEMs like Nearline Products, Overand Storage and Quantum Storage. "Being first to market with the second-generation Ultrium drives to our partners is a milestone in the execution of the open standard we are driving toward," said Nearline vice president of Products Frank Harbist. "With this announcement, HP is clearly positioned to deliver next-generation Ultrium tape drives that will permit StorageWorks customers to enjoy the significant advantages of this exceptionally reliable, high-performance tape technology before the end of the year."
