Tandberg Data and ATTO Technology team up

Tandberg Data has partnered with ATTO Technology to provide customers with one-stop shopping for complete LTO-5 and LTO-6 tape drive and automation solution kits. With a single part number, customers can now order any of eight bundled kits that include a combination of Tandberg Data LTO-5 or LTO-6 tape drives or Tandberg Data LTO-5 or LTO-6 tape libraries, cable, media and ATTO ExpressSAS™ host bus adapter (HBA).

“These LTO tape bundles make it easy for our customers to buy a complete tape solution,” said Scott Petersen, Tandberg Data senior vice president of the Americas. “Our engineers have worked with ATTO, a long-time partner, to certify that the ATTO ExpressSAS and Celerity™ Fibre Channel HBAs work seamlessly with our LTO tape offerings. With a single part number, customers can now buy and deploy all the equipment needed to protect and archive their data.”

“ATTO’s strong heritage in the development of patented technologies is based around streaming data which provides optimized backup performance and, more importantly, minimizes restore time when you need reliable data recovery,” said Wayne Arvidson, vice president of marketing at ATTO Technology. "We are excited to partner with Tandberg Data, another pioneer in data backup and recovery, to offer fully certified and tested solutions that shorten installation time and minimize disruptions to customers."

The LTO bundles can be ordered through Ingram Micro or Tech Data.
