IBM System Storage LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drive
IBM® Corporation - FIPS 140 #1152
The IBM LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drive provides AES-GCM encryption of customer data recorded to tape. Both encryption and compression are implemented in the hardware for optimum performance. Three different host interface types of the LTO Ultrium 4 "brick" unit are FIPS certified as a multi-chip, standalone cryptographic module. In customer operation the "brick" unit may be embedded in bridge box or in a canister package for operation in a library.
