Symply ProLTO - Affordable reliable lto tape archiving solutions

Until now most LTO tape products were generic repurposed IT systems or otherwise design-compromised with low-cost components. With the introduction of SymplyPRO Thunderbolt LTO that’s all changed. SymplyPRO Thunderbolt LTO was designed with professionals in mind. Comprising space-effective single desktop designs and innovative dual-drive desktop systems featuring Symply CableLess technology, making them highly serviceable and upgradeable, SymplyPRO Thunderbolt LTO delivers more.

Each SymplyPRO Thunderbolt LTO desktop utilizes a robust and stylish metal alloy enclosure. And it’s not only rugged – it’s compact and full-featured. With a premium power supply and cooling system, SymplyPRO Thunderbolt LTO is designed for years of trouble-free service. The desktop systems include two Thunderbolt 3 ports for daisy chaining and fast device charging. Uniquely they also include a SAS Expansion Port and SAS Host Port in case you need to connect other SAS devices to your Thunderbolt-equipped computer or use the SymplyPRO Thunderbolt LTO with a non-Thunderbolt workstation with a SAS connection. 

3-2-1 Data Protection Strategy 

The 3-2-1 is a data protection strategy that is universally mandated by various organizations and institutions across many industries including Media and Entertainment, SMBs, SMEs, Healthcare, Education, Research, Surveillance, and Government. 

3: Always maintain at least three (3) copies of your data.  

2: Store your copies across at least two (2) different storage mediums 

1: Store at least one (1) of your copies at an offsite location.  

With the rise of Malware and Ransomware attacks Symply recommends adopting a 3-2-1-1-0 policy. The first three steps are the same but with two additional steps… 

1: Keep at least one (1) of the copies offline.  

0: Be sure to have verified the copies created have been made with zero (0) errors (and test a restore).

Symply CableLess

All dual-drive desktop designs from Symply feature Symply CableLess technology – a unique design that allows for the easy removal of LTO drives, making them highly serviceable and easy to upgradeable. So, you can start with one LTO in your desktop system and add an additional drive in a matter of seconds, without even having to power the system off. Likewise for servicing, in the unlikely event of a drive failure, the failed drive can be removed without the need to power off the whole system, and only the failed drive needs to be returned for repair. Simple, as you might expect
