Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store
and manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies
such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies that can
verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years.
The Ultrium 960 and 920 tape drives features the ability to archive and store data in a non-rewriteable
format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a combination of integrated fail-safe
features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape formatting, the Ultrium 960 and 920 can
archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure, untampered state. Since all
Ultrium 960 and 920 tape drives include support for both rewritable and WORM media, IT
organizations can now easily integrate a secure, long-term archiving solution into their current data
protection strategy. As compared to other technologies that feature support for WORM storage, the
Ultrium 960 and 920 offers the advantages of:
A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs
Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM data
cartridges
A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to prevent
accidental or intentional overwriting of data
High-capacity, low-cost HP WORM media that can store 800GB of data on a single data
cartridge
Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most comprehensive
and mainstream support in the industry
The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all third-generation
Ultrium products

NOTE:
NOTE: While all HP Ultrium 960 tape drives support LTO Ultrium WORM media, some third-generation
LTO Ultrium tape drives from other manufacturers may not include read and write support for LTO
Ultrium WORM media. For non-HP third-generation LTO Ultrium tape drives, please check the
manufacturers' specifications to ensure this support is provided if you are using your WORM media. If
WORM support is not provided, the drive will eject the WORM tape cartridge immediately upon insertion
into to the tape drive.
