Fujifilm Corporation, headquartered in Japan, has made an announcement: starting from January 2026, it will commence the sales of the FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium 10 (40TB) data stream tape. This innovative tape can attain a maximum recording capacity of 100TB per cartridge (40TB in its uncompressed state). When compared to the previous - generation product, this marks an approximate 33% increase in capacity.

This tape is specifically engineered to assist enterprises in dealing with ransomware threats and fulfilling their long - term data retention requirements. The product harnesses Fujifilm's exclusive "fine composite magnetic particle" technology. This technology significantly boosts the recording density per unit area of the tape, enabling more data to be stored in the same physical space.

Moreover, it stands out as the first in the LTO Ultrium series to incorporate a new thin - layer aramid film technology. This innovation leads to a 30% increase in the length of a single tape cartridge, allowing for greater data storage capacity within a single unit.

In terms of operational conditions, the tape expands the operating temperature and humidity ranges. It can operate stably at temperatures ranging from 15°C to 35°C and humidity levels up to 80% (under the temperature conditions of 15°C–25°C). This enhanced adaptability ensures reliable performance in various environmental settings.

One of the key advantages of tape storage lies in its physical isolation characteristics. This creates an "air gap" technology, which effectively reduces the risk of data loss caused by cybersecurity incidents. As a result, it serves as a highly reliable medium for large - scale data storage. Currently, data centers and large IT enterprises are widely adopting tapes for secure backup and archiving purposes, recognizing their robustness and data - protection capabilities.
