MagStor has launched its M6560 and M3640 LTO-10 tape storage systems, providing up to 25.6 PB of native capacity for broadcast and media archives. The systems feature air-gapped, WORM-compliant storage designed to offer a cost-effective, long-term alternative to cloud and disk-based media management.
The launch of these high-density tape systems provides a physical safeguard against the rising costs and security vulnerabilities of cloud-only media management. By utilizing air-gapped LTO-10 technology, broadcasters can protect massive 4K RAW libraries from ransomware and accidental deletions that have plagued digital-only platforms. This shift reflects a broader industry move toward hybrid infrastructure where tape serves as the final, low-power tier for deep archives. As data center energy costs increase, the zero-power-at-rest profile of tape becomes a critical sustainability lever for large-scale streaming operations. Watch for adoption rates of the optional S3 Solv interface to see how quickly facilities bridge traditional tape hardware with modern object-storage workflows.
As media organizations look to modernize their infrastructure, many are exploring cloud production workflow options to complement their long-term storage strategies.
MagStor has launched its new LTO-10 tape archive systems, the M6560 and M3640, providing up to 25.6 PB of native capacity.
