VAULT
Tape archiving has been blighted by slow transfer speeds and the inability to share drives over networks.
VAULT changes all that. Developed for central archives, the VAULT multi-drive LTO-7 / LTO-8 system can write and read data from any or all drives simultaneously at an astonishing 1440MB/s (LTO-8). VAULT is capable of reading and writing from any attached SMB server, for a workflow that is far more efficient than drives tethered to a single dedicated computer.
All GB Labs LTO systems include our LTO Manager fully featured archiving software for backup and archiving tasks. The interface for the software is a web GUI that allows users and administrators to write TAR files to tape sets or even format the tapes as LTFS. All operations can be completed using the software and data can be pulled seamlessly from any GB Labs system.
Uniquely the system also allows users to mount LTFS tapes on their desktops through the network. You can then interact with the tapes much like any other removable media (USB, FireWire drives etc.)
The software logs all activity and catalogues the contents of each tape and any additional meta data. This means that the entire catalogue can be searched intelligently, and retrieval of data is fast and straightforward, using flashback video previews to create archive material.

LTO Manager with Flashback
FlashBack is an innovative way of being able to preview the files that are being written to the tape; enriching users’ search and browse experience.
FlashBack for VAULT makes it easier for users to preview archived footage and find the exact film and clips they’re looking for with minimal effort - saving time and money.
When media is on the tape, we cannot preview files straight from the tape (especially when the tape is not in the drive), so we take a small clip from the file and generate a thumbnail preview of various points throughout.
Hyperwrite
Demand your LTO system uses HyperWrite!
GB Labs developed the HyperWrite technology to significantly reduce the time it takes to write to tape, while extending the life of your LTO tape and drive.
Typical LTO systems pause after each file is written without optimisation. This means that typical LTO systems can take all day to finish a single job. By using HyperWrite, GB Labs crushes long write times by writing at native LTO speeds of up to 360MB/s even with small files. By intelligently optimising how we write to tape, there is a massive reduction in the wear to the LTO tape itself as well as the drive.
If you need a truly professional and safe system to use in your archiving process, HyperWrite is the only choice.
