Value of Tape for Long-Term Storage

Best TCO:
Tape is the most scalable, Less than 1/26th the cost
cost effective storage. and 1/105th the power
of disk

Best Availability:
Best Scalability:
Uncorrected bit error rate
Scales to >30x the max
of tape is 10,000 times
capacity of disk
better than disk
