Fujifilm rolls out LTO Ultrium 10 in India with 75TB storage and enhanced security

The LTO-10 cartridge offers 1.67 times more uncompressed storage than LTO-9, enabled by Fujifilm’s newly developed fine hybrid magnetic particles combining Strontium Ferrite and Barium Ferrite technologies, used for the first time in this series

Fujifilm India has announced the launch of its new magnetic data storage product, the Fujifilm LTO Ultrium 10 Data Cartridge (LTO-10). The cartridge offers a maximum storage capacity of up to 75 terabytes (30TB uncompressed), aimed at meeting the growing demand for secure and cost-effective data storage.

The LTO-10 is the latest in the LTO Ultrium series and features a 1.67x increase in uncompressed storage capacity compared to its predecessor, the LTO-9. This has been made possible by the use of Fujifilm’s newly developed "fine hybrid magnetic particles", which combine technologies from Strontium Ferrite (SrFe) and Barium Ferrite (BaFe) particles. This is the first time the hybrid particles have been used in an LTO Ultrium cartridge.

Koji Wada, Managing Director of Fujifilm India, stated that the LTO-10 supports the company's broader objective of enabling businesses to manage growing volumes of data with scalable and secure storage. He noted the increasing need for reliable storage technologies amid rising data generation globally.

J Solomon Sukumar, Associate Director – Recording Media & Industrial Products at Fujifilm India, highlighted that the LTO-10 is designed to address the needs of sectors such as banking, healthcare, government, and research. According to Sukumar, features such as offline, air-gapped storage make LTO-10 suitable for environments requiring data protection against cyber threats and long-term compliance.

In addition to enhanced recording density and data durability, LTO-10 supports stable read/write operations and offers lower implementation costs compared to hard disk drives. Its air-gap design physically isolates stored data from network systems, reducing the risk of data loss due to system failures or cyberattacks.

With global data volumes expected to reach 175 zettabytes by 2025, driven by technologies like autonomous vehicles, medical imaging, artificial intelligence, and IoT, the demand for secure and scalable long-term storage solutions continues to rise. LTO-10 aims to address these challenges by providing a dependable storage option for enterprises and institutions managing large data sets over extended periods.
