Fujitsu Siemens Computers has announced the second generation of its FibreCAT TX24 and TX48 magnetic tape systems emphasising multiple green characteristics.
The company explained that saving to tape is generally more energy-efficient than saving to a hard disk, because no significant amount of power is consumed unless data is read or written to the tape.
For the new FibreCAT TX S2 systems, the company has also focused on maintaining low power consumption when in operation, the use of environmentally friendly materials, as well as high and easy scalability, that results in a longer service life for the devices. Small and mid-sized companies can now cover different linear tape-open (LTO) generations with the new systems, automatically save their data with high reliability and protect their investments.
Although tape is an energy-efficient storage medium, many of the components in a tape library can still be optimised in terms of power consumption and environmental friendliness, as the new tape systems from Fujitsu Siemens Computers show.
The fan, for example, runs only when it's actually needed and the motors for the robots have also been geared to low energy use. In addition, the sturdy, highly reliable devices don't require batteries and have a long service life because they can be used with different LTO generations.
