FUJIFILM LTO tapes
According to Stutchbury FUJIFILM is Stutch Data’s preferred LTO tape brand and with good reason.

As LTO tape is the most cost effective and best medium to hold data that is rarely accessed; it is ideal to use for Stutch Data’s customers’ requirements, allowing hard drive and flash storage for data required to run online applications and that is accessed regularly.

“We prefer FUJIFILM LTOs because FUJIFILM are a manufacturer, their cost is competitive, they are local, understand the Australian market and make an excellent LTO tape for all uses and applications.”

Stutch Data Services supplies LTO tapes to its Australian resellers and customers and uses them in-house. The LTO tape they have is used for archive, old files and records that may need to be accessed at a later date; files and records kept for legislative requirements such as tax, payroll and superannuation and files and records for defence of a company’s actions in case of litigation. Recently the company has seen a surge in the sale and use of LTO tapes and in particular FUJIFILM LTO tapes.
