How LT ZERO Works in Practice

Real architecture diagrams and workflows from LT ZERO deployments — how the platform's components work together end-to-end.

Unified Monitoring, Alerting & Analytics

LT ZERO's storage and archive layers — GX-IO controllers, UNF-DFS performance nodes, the ARC archive engine, and Orion MC6 tape libraries — are monitored, alerted, and reported on through a single unified layer, giving administrators full visibility and health checks across the entire infrastructure stack.

Intelligent Archiving & Lifecycle Automation

Kumulus Unified Storage automates the movement of cold data from primary storage to archive — and reclaims primary capacity through truncation — without manual intervention or third-party HSM software.

Ransomware Resilience with Offline Partitioning

Offline Partition improves on tape's inherent air-gap: backup applications write to an online partition, and verified data is automatically redirected to an offline partition with no network connectivity — tapes can only be retrieved from the vault through an administrator-directed command.

Simplifying Tape Access Over IP

LT ZERO's IP Tape Library eliminates the need for a dedicated tape server — virtual machines and backup applications connect directly over standard Ethernet, removing an entire layer of infrastructure and Fibre Channel complexity.

Comprehensive Data Protection, Your Way

LT ZERO integrates with the backup and enterprise software you already run — supporting a 3-2-1-1 data protection strategy across your existing ecosystem.
