Global Network Technology Reporter Zheng XiangqiFrom May 26th to 28th, the 2023 China International Big Data Industry Expo (hereinafter referred to as the "Digital Expo") was held in Guiyang. Entering the Fuji Film booth for offline exhibitions at the Digital Expo, rows of magnetic tape storage products came into view.

Fuji Film (China) Investment Co., Ltd., Director of the Recording Media Division, Shi Zemin, told reporters that this time Fuji Film highlighted its latest LTO9 data streaming tape, which has a raw capacity of 18TB and a compressed single disk capacity of up to 45TB. LTO9 has also made significant progress in transmission rate, reaching 400MB/s before and 1000MB/s after compression.

"After LTO8, this product will continue to promote the rapid development of tape media performance, better meet customers' needs for high speed in data migration and protection, and achieve low-cost storage hierarchy on the basis of data security for massive cold data backup and archiving." Shi Zemin said that tape does not need long-term power, which brings low energy consumption advantages, Enabling LTO9 to play a positive role in energy-saving and low-carbon aspects will strongly support the construction and operation of green data centers.

A white paper released by IDC shows that through the flexible application of tape storage, a cumulative reduction of 664 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be achieved by 2030. It is reported that in recent years, Fuji Film (China) has actively cooperated with the Chinese Academy of Information Technology and Communications, Shenzhen Security Association and other organizations to fully demonstrate the role of tape storage in low energy consumption, and to help enterprises in the industry achieve low power consumption and low emissions in data centers and even large-scale data centers while improving their Digital transformation.

In this Expo, Fuji Film (China) not only demonstrated its own tape technology and products, but also jointly demonstrated tape storage solutions for different application scenarios with key partners, including tape machines, as well as front-end and back-end equipment such as editing, backup, archiving, after-sales, etc.

We hope to showcase different software and hardware solutions based on tape storage and local application cases, demonstrate how tape storage is embedded in various application fields, and demonstrate the complete tape data storage ecosystem of data generation, editing, backup, storage, and after-sales testing to users, so that more data centers and enterprise users with storage needs can understand the advantages of tape's low cost, low energy consumption, high security, and large capacity, and help Help them better backup and archive data, release more front-end redundancy, and reduce enterprise costs and PUE (power utilization efficiency) for users in various industries Shi Zemin said.

In the current era of the Internet of Things, Shi Zemin believes that neither intelligent driving nor intelligent factory production can be achieved without massive data analysis, calculation, and storage. Many manufacturers are concerned about how to easily and quickly obtain data from storage, but in fact, while conveniently obtaining data, ensuring network security, system security, and long-term secure retention of data is more crucial. This is also the focus of Fuji Film LTO data stream tapes and many tape storage manufacturers.

In recent years, thanks to its competitive procurement costs, operation and maintenance costs, and long-term data protection capabilities, tape storage has been widely accepted and recognized by finance, energy, telecommunications, film and television and other industries. Many well-known Internet manufacturers in China have also realized the application value of tape storage, incorporated tape storage into their product solutions, and solved the pain points of hard disks in terms of data migration speed and storage costs.

For Fuji Film, in recent years, it has not only expanded its market share in traditional markets such as finance, but also achieved significant results in cooperation with domestic internet leaders. For example, in the field of video security, research institutions in scientific research institutions, and integrated media in China, we have also collaborated with multiple leading enterprises. With the continuous emergence of high compliance requirements for a large amount of data preservation cycles, the prospects of tape storage in these application markets are quite broad. We also look forward to more enterprises from different industries and fields seeing the advantages of tape storage and promoting more opportunities for cooperation Shi Zemin told reporters.

In fact, Fuji Film is already an "old friend" who has participated in the Digital Expo for the third time. Recalling the scene of being invited to participate in the Digital Expo for the first time in 2021, Shi Zemin said, "We discussed the current situation and development prospects of cold data storage in Guiyang and even the entire western region with the leaders of Guiyang Big Data Bureau and many local high-value customers. Through the Digital Expo platform, we can have a more comprehensive and comprehensive understanding of the development plan and implementation layout of big data-related industries in the Chinese market

Turning the clock back to the present, with the full implementation of the "East Digital and West Computing" project, Fuji Film hopes to introduce more, better, and more convenient massive cold storage solutions to users through this year's Digital Expo, and collaborate with ecological chain partners to participate in innovative cooperation in data storage software and hardware, fully integrating into the construction of "Guizhou on the Cloud".

Against the backdrop of 'counting from the east to the west' and 'storing from the east to the west', we will actively expand our application coverage, transform our product advantages into high-quality productivity, and work together with numerous partners and users to contribute to China's booming digital construction process, "said Shi Zemin.
