VALHALLA, N.Y., March 12, 2014 – FUJIFILM Recording Media U.S.A., Inc., a subsidiary of FUJIFILM Corporation, the leading global manufacturer of data storage media, today announced the release of the white paper, The Technical and Operational Values of Barium Ferrite Tape Media, detailing the significant benefits of Fujifilm’s advanced media technology with Barium Ferrite (BaFe). The white paper is available for download at http://thefutureoftape.com, along with more information illustrating Barium Ferrite technology.
 
The white paper, authored by Mark Peters of Enterprise Storage Group, shows that while tape-based storage has been well established, it has evolved in a way that now delivers multi-terabyte capacities, superior reliability, longer media life and ease of access with linear tape file system (LTFS).
 
Today, tape is also recognized for its high performance and cost effectiveness as organizations look to reduce storage expenses, while protecting and preserving their information for the future. For customers looking for long-term data solutions, Fujifilm’s Barium Ferrite technology ensures the future viability of tape technology.
 
“Reliable data storage remains a critical consideration for businesses, and Fujifilm’s advanced Barium Ferrite technology delivers dependability and capacity to organizations looking at their future storage needs,” said Peter Faulhaber, president, FUJIFILM Recording Media U.S.A., Inc. “The ESG white paper easily explains the advantages of Barium Ferrite technology and confirms Fujifilm’s commitment to tape technology development.”
 
Since 2000, Fujifilm has led the development of large-capacity data tape for backup and archival applications. The most recent FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium 6 Data Cartridge is based on Fujifilm’s NANOCUBIC technology and incorporates BaFe particles, with superior performance and longer archival life compared to conventional metal particle (MP) tape. BaFe particles are also used in the production of large multi-terabyte enterprise system data tape, supporting the needs of various customers in diverse industries for their large volume back-up and archival needs.
