Tape still going strong as HP extends LTO roadmap
T
he amount of data being stored on tape media is up 21%, according to Santa Clara Consulting Group (SCCG). SCCG’s latest quarterly update to their
Worldwide Tape Media Tracker shows healthy growth in unit shipments, revenue and market share for the second calendar quarter of 2014 (2Q14).
Te results are substantial proof of the continued strength of tape market demand, with total tape storage media shipments (excluding proprietary enterprise tape shipments) reaching 6,400 petabytes for the quarter. In short, demand is 21% up on last year – so much for the decline in the popularity of tape storage!
Tech Data stocks a full range of HP LTO tape drives and media – and these solutions are a great way to deliver simplicity and assurance to customers, and drive healthy ongoing profits for your business. Tape is here to stay for a long time yet – there is no question about that.
Te LTO technology roadmap has recently been expanded to 10 generations, increasing capacity expectations to 120 TB per cartridge. Te new generation guidelines call for compressed capacities of 62.5 TB for generation 9 and 120 TB for generation 10. Tat’s a lot of storage capacity and it means customers can invest and build with confidence, on a format that gives them the scalability they need to meet the unstoppable growth of data.

Ergotron LearnFit adjustable standing desk supports improved health and learning
E
rgotron is aiming to transform classrooms into active learning environments with the LearnFit™ Adjustable Standing Desk. With the simple use of a
hand lever, the height of the desktops can be changed on- demand, allowing students (or any other user) to learn and collaborate in the most natural way possible.
Research has found that standing can have a huge impact on health and productivity. Standing increases blood circulation, burns more calories and helps maintain muscle tone and insulin effectiveness. Te LearnFit standing desk promotes good posture by giving students age nine through to adult the ability to easily self-adjust the desk up to 20-inches (50 cm) to their preferred height, utilising Constant Force technology to make the adjustment effortless. Te on demand adjustability meets the comfort and collaboration needs of students, without requiring any adjustments to be made by school staff.
Ergotron makes a range of standing desks for everyday office use as well – and the benefits are just the same in the commercial world as they are in education. For more information, contact the Maverick team on 01256 788733 or email
