Only the NMLM solution is designed to work on any brand of tape hardware, and only NMLM captures failures immediately when they occur. The NanoPure™ Media Lifecycle Management (NMLM) solution* offers superior protection for media and tape hardware when compared to competitive solutions from IBM or Quantum. Our process helps the end-user conclusively identify if faulty media or tape hardware is creating excessive errors in the backup process. Within the NMLM solution*, when a backup job completes and the cartridge performance is below acceptable limits, the user will be prompted to run our NanoPure Intelligent Diagnostic Cartridge™ to further assess the health of the cartridge that was used along with the health of the tape drive itself. The NanoPure™ Intelligent Diagnostic Cartridge™ helps diagnose media AND hardware problems. NanoPure™ media is part of the NanoPure™ Media Lifecycle Management (NMLM) solution* NMLM enables the administrator to be proactively alerted to any changes in the health of the NanoPure™ cartridge after each use. What else should I know about NanoPure™ Media? Simply contact MagStor for an exchange should a problem occur. NanoPure™ media is guaranteed for the life of the cartridge to original registered owners. This reduces the possibility of backup failures on first use. NanoPure™ media is fully tested at the factory to meet specific performance characteristics to meet the standard required of NanoPure™ media. New media can sometimes fail or can create a backup that is not reliable for reading in the future. The NanoPure™ media process at the factory analyzes the cartridge for signs of prior use in the protected areas of the tape and the cartridge memory. There is a grey market for used tape media, where vendors will sanitize the media and resell it, and not always represent the media as used.

NanoPure™ media is certified as new /unused. This leads to reduced error correction activity during first use and reduced backup times. NanoPure™ media is tested to have 10-15% lower error rates then-new untested media. New media has higher error rates due to normal issues when it leaves the factory. This “green” media affect can contribute to scratches or other damage to the head surface, leading to early hardware failures. When new media is used in a drive for the first time it is more abrasive to the surface of the drive head. New media is harsher on tape drives heads. Experienced tape hardware owners know that new media has certain characteristics that can be detrimental to backup performance: NanoPure™ can assure the best possible performance and integrity of your tape backup hardware and media as a system. Each NanoPure™ cartridge is also part of the NanoPure™ Media Lifecycle Management (NMLM) solution.* NMLM enables the administrator to be proactively alerted to any changes in the health of the NanoPure™ cartridge after each use. NanoPure™ is proven to perform faster and more reliably upon first use and reduce the impact new media has on the health of tape hardware systems. The NanoPure™ process cleans, tests, and calibrates every cartridge before first use, allowing users of any tape hardware brand to guarantee they are using the highest quality, most error-free media available. NanoPure Media™ is premium LTO media certified via our patent-pending NanoPure™ process. Please note, NanoPure™ LTO9 media comes pre-calibrated. This may save up to 2 hours calibrating each LTO-9 tape before first use.
