Introducing VeriTapeŽ - The LTO Cartridge Analyzer

All LTO Cartridges have an internal memory chip called Cartridge Memory (CM). This chip contains vital information about the cartridge. Our reader extracts the information and displays it in a concise way. In addition we calculate eriScoreTM a single quality number based on all available information.

Revealing the history and quality of LTO cartridges

Identify deteriorating cartridges before they fail
Most systems identify defective cartridges after they fail. These cartridge failures can be disruptive and expensive. But with eriTapeŽ you can monitor any cartridge and retire aging or damaged ones before they fail, not afterwards.

Storing mission critical data
when saving critical data to tape you must have complete confidence that your data can be recovered without problems. eriTapeŽ enables you to identify and eliminate any cartridge that does not meet your standards.

Purchasing used cartridges
you may be buying damaged or aged cartridges. There is no way to judge the cartridge quality from the outside appearance of the cartridge. eriTapeŽ allows you to "look inside" the cartridge and get its complete history.

Loading the Cartridge
VeriTape is approximately the same size as an LTO cartridge. Unlike an LTO tape drive, however, VeriTape does not need to thread the tape in order to access the CM. Just place the cartridge on top of the reader and the display immediately shows the relevant information. A locator feature in the frame matches a notch in the cartridge, thereby ensuring that the cartridge is always correctly oriented. Scanning an LTO cartridge takes about 3 seconds.
