LTO (Linear Tape Open) tape library is a storage device based on Linear Tape-Open (LTO). LTO technology is an open tape storage technology jointly developed by HP, IBM and Quantum (formerly Certance, acquired by Quantum in 2004). This technology combines the advantages of linear multi-channel and bidirectional tape formats, and improves the capacity and performance of tapes through service systems, hardware data compression, optimized track surfaces and high-efficiency error correction technology. : "Open-format" means that users can obtain a variety of compatible media storage product resources, thereby improving product compatibility and availability. LTO technology occupies an important position in the field of data storage with its high efficiency, reliability and economy. LTO tape libraries usually contain one or more drives, multiple slots, a barcode reader, and an automatic robot arm for loading tapes. These components work together to achieve automated data backup, recovery and management functions.

As a core solution for cold data storage, LTO (Linear Tape Open) tape libraries occupy an important position in the fields of finance, medical care, government affairs, film and television, etc. with the advantages of low cost, high reliability and long preservation period. The current global market size continues to grow. The shipment capacity will reach 152.9EB in 2023 with an annual growth rate of more than 3%. The single-disk capacity of LTO-9 technology has reached 45TB (after compression), and the next-generation LTO-10 is expected to exceed 100TB. At the same time, the industry is accelerating its transformation towards intelligence and service. Cloud service providers integrate tape libraries to form a "hot-warm-cold" three-level storage system. Hardware manufacturers optimize operation and maintenance efficiency through AI technology. Huawei and other companies have launched magnetoelectric storage solutions that combine the characteristics of tapes and hard disks. The single-rack speed reaches 8GB/s and the power consumption is reduced by 90%. It is expected that the LTO tape library market will maintain steady growth in 2025 with technological iteration and deepening of scenarios.
