150 - Tape & Tape Libraries Technologies and Developments

Tape was dead for some people but guess what tape is still there and even more present than ever with cyberattacks and ransomware pressure. LTO continues to flood the market and hyperscalers adopted tape libraries and use them at a new scale and pace. Vendors design new models specifically for them, it is the case for Quantum and IBM and we wait some offerings from Spectra Logic. LTO roadmap is published up to LTO-14 without any date of course. We even heard that some hyperscalers plan to develop their own tape library. We'll see as there is plenty of new things in the domain. Great. Enjoy your listening.
