Cache-A debuts the new LTFS Format Implementations across LTO-5 product Line and the new Prime-Cahe5, Power-Cache and new LTFS Software. Cache-A is one of the first storage companies to introduce the new LTFS format for the media and entertainment industry. The Pro-Cache is a LTO-5 based product which provides high-performance archive appliance server.  A very interesting product to consider for those that need to archive media and transfer to other systems.

So what is LTFS

The Linear Tape File System format is an emerging standard for the open description of the layout of data-structures stored on a sequential-access media. These data-structures hold the file content data and associated file metadata. Data media, such as LTO data tape, written using this format can be exchanged between systems that understand the Linear Tape File System format. Software systems that understand the format can provide users with a file-system view of the media. Software systems may alternatively understand the format only to the degree that allows the system to read data from the media, or produce a tape that can be accepted by other systems that implement the Linear Tape File System format.
