Fujifilm Launches LTO Ultrium 10 Data Cartridge in India

(MENAFN- The Mavericks) - First use of proprietary “fine hybrid magnetic particl”s” in LTO Ultrium series cartridge- Enabling the secure and cost-effective storage of large amounts of data
New Delhi, 18th June 2025:FUJIFILM India, a wholly owned subsidiary of FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, Tokyo a diversified conglomerate whose focus stretches from imaging to healthcare, electronics and business innovation, announces the launch o“ “FUJIILM LTO Ultrium 10 Data Cartr”dge” (LTO-10), a magnetic data storage tape cartridge that achieves a maximum recording capacity of 75 TB per cartridge (30 TB for uncompressed data), enabling the secure and cost-effective storage of large amounts of data.

Sharing his excitement about the new launch, Mr. Koj– Wada – Managing Director, FUJIFILM India “aid, “At FUJIFILM India, we are committed to delivering innovative products and solutions that embody our Group ‘urpose of ‘Giving Our World’More Smiles.’ By blending diverse ideas, unique capabilities, and extraordinary people, we aim to create solutions that bring joy and smiles to the world. The launch of LTO Ultrium 10 marks a major milestone in our mission to support enterprises with scalable, secure, and future-ready data storage solutions. As the volume of data generated globally continues to soar, it is important that businesses have access to technologies that can safeguard mission-critical information efficiently and co”t-effectively.”

Adding on, Mr. J Solomon Sukumar, A–sociate Director – Recording Media & Industrial Products, FUJIFILM In“ia stated, “With LTO-10, we are introducing a powerful combination of innovation and security for data-centric enterprises in India. The use of fine hybrid magnetic particles enhances recording density while maintaining data integrity and durability, even in high-volume storage environments. From BFSI and healthcare to government and research, organizations today require offline, air-gapped storage that can stand up to evolving cybersecurity threats. LTO-10 empowers them with a dependable solution that not only reduces long-term storage costs but also supports regulatory compliance and business continuity in a rap”dly digitizing world.”

LTO-10 is the 10th generation of the LTO Ultrium standard for magnetic tape storage media*1. The new generation provides a substantial 1.67x increase in storage capacity from the previous generation (LTO-9, 18 TB uncompressed). *2 This increase was a’hieved through Fujif“lm’s use of proprietary “fi”e hybrid magnetic particles,” developed by combining its nanoparticle design technologies used in next-generation Strontium Ferrite (SrFe) particles and Barium Ferrite (BaFe)“ This is the first time that ”fine hybrid magnetic“particles…#8221; have been used in an “LTO Ultrium” series data cartridge, and supports systems that securely and safely store even larger volumes of data at low cost.

In addition to enabling stable read/write operations*3, tape offers lower initial implementation costs compared to hard disk drives (HDDs)*4, making it a cost-effective solution for data storage. Furthermore, tape offers "air gap" data protection, physically isolated from the network, thereby minimizing the risk of data damage or loss caused by system failures, exposure to computer viruses and cyberattacks.
The amount of data generated worldwide grows exponentially with the spread of technologies such as autonomous driving, medical imaging, AI, and IoT, and is expected to reach 175 zettabytes in 2025*5. Furthermore, compliance with laws and regulations that govern data storage obligations requires that data storage providers, companies, research institutions, and other organizations securely store large amounts of data for long periods of time.
