StrongBox stands as the first enterprise-level solution to leverage Linear Tape File System (LTFS) technology, combining the unparalleled scalability of tape with the speed and accessibility of disk. StrongBox is the industry’s most cost-effective answer to ever-growing data storage requirements, seamlessly scaling for today, while future-proofing for tomorrow through a non-proprietary, file-based and fully portable storage system.
