What can IT Learn about Tape from Broadcast Industry? [31094]
Storage Switzerland, May 17th, 2013

Tape has been part of the solution for decades, due to its unmatched density and cost per GB, and now, the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) is promising to take tape use to another level.

That represents a lot of tape users, suggesting tape is far from dead as some have declared. If you look at archiving solutions (not to be confused with long-term retention during backup), the use of tape would be even higher. But since our focus is on data protection instead of data management, consider the following stats derived from surveying 330 users, with a 60/40 mix of enterprise and midmarket respondents..."
