Tape storage is a form of data storage and management that uses magnetic tape to store data. It is a cost-effective and reliable way to store large amounts of data, and is often used for archiving and backup purposes. Tape storage is a sequential access storage medium, meaning that data must be read in a linear fashion, from the beginning of the tape to the end. This makes it slower than other forms of data storage, such as hard drives. Tape storage is often used in conjunction with other forms of data storage, such as hard drives and cloud storage. This allows for a more comprehensive data storage and management system, with data stored on multiple mediums. Tape storage is also used in large-scale data centers, where it is used to store large amounts of data in a cost-effective manner. Some companies in the tape storage market include IBM, Oracle, Quantum, and HPE. Show Less Read more
