The LT ZERO IP Tape Library removes the final barrier to tape adoption for organizations without existing Fibre Channel infrastructure. By delivering tape over standard Ethernet, it opens enterprise tape archiving to virtually any environment — including VMware virtual infrastructure, branch offices, and cloud-adjacent deployments.
