There are too many variables for a definitive statement when it comes to the question of sustainable data storage. What supports environmental goals in one company may not have the same effect in another.
HPE StoreEver isn’t claiming that the simple use of tape, by itself, is a green benefit. Reality is more complex. But with current HPE StoreEver LTO-9 tape systems, you can increase storage efficiency by keeping over 25 Petabytes of data in a single 48U rack1, and preserve copies of that data offline in a unpowered state for up to 30 years2.
To analyze whether HPE StoreEver LTO tape technology can help you improve sustainability metrics for long term cold data storage, try using the LTO Program TCO Calculator. This allows you to model scenarios specific to your business and storage workloads. Who knows, perhaps it might plant a seed for the future arrangement of your data archives?
