SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Abstract
The explosion of Big Data and the need to store critical digital content at the petabyte level and beyond are forcing organizations to look beyond traditional storage solutions. As tape capacities grow, new tape technologies are continuing to emerge to help solve today’s growing data needs. Tape is quickly becoming the de facto standard for Big Data storage solutions, and new tape drive densities are pushing the archive in new directions. This session will provide an overview of emerging tape technologies that help solve today’s big and growing data needs, including LTFS, LTO6 and TS1140, and will discuss how these technologies fit into the overall storage picture.
