Developments in the realization of practical file based workflow environments

Abstract

To make the transition to file-based content environments, tools are necessary to facilitate workflows and other key attributes. The LTO-5 magnetic tape system, with its high density, throughput, and fundamental reliability and the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) are two such tools. Both technologies are well documented, standardized, and multi-sourced. This paper will discuss the business and technical necessities for moving to a file-based workflow, the history and attributes of LTO tape, the features of LTFS, and how all of these pieces can come together to create a modern environment.
