Fujifilm ramps tape output fivefold as AI drives data hoarding
What is Fujifilm to boost tape production 5x as AI fuels archiving demand?
Fujifilm will spend about $63 million to expand its Kanagawa factory and increase LTO Ultrium10 tape production by five times. The move targets the growing need for offline, low-cost storage as generative AI creates massive data sets.
Who it is for
Enterprises that need cheap, air-gapped backup should watch tape capacity grow, and may consider adding LTO tape to their archiving strategy.
