Here is Oracle’s StorageTek Linear Tape File System, Library Edition (LTFS LE): stakes and opportunities.

Its interest  is increasingly important for Media, Video formats and more. StorageTek Linear Tape File System, Library Edition (LTFS LE) software, according to Oracle, enables users to take advantage of tape’s low cost per terabyte without the operations and cost overhead of legacy tape management.

In addition, StorageTek LTFS LE can simplify the adoption of high capacity tape
storage to support multiple use cases like:

·        Digital media distribution to support file-based workflow and broadcast production and play-out operations,

·        Storage and archive of 2K, 4K, and 8K (IMAX) digital formats

·        On-set capture and backup of video footage from digital cameras

For the workflow efficiency and speeds tape operations, StorageTek LTFS LE can help improve by:

Providing a simple, low cost, open format interface for sharing data on tape between users and between applications.

Enabling users to more easily find files by eliminating the need to re-mount tape cartridges to retrieve index data or cartridge information such as volume information, file type, file size and creation date.
