GETZVILLE, N.Y. - eTradeWire -- Amherst, NY (September 10, 2026) – Symply (https://gosymply.com/), a global provider of professional storage solutions, and ATTO Technology, Inc. (https://www.atto.com/), a global leader in high-performance storage connectivity, will demonstrate at IBC 2026 how the Symply MATTERHORN (https://gosymply.com/form-factor/pro-libraries/) powered by ORION hyperscale tape library and ATTO XstreamCORE® 8200T Intelligent Bridge (https://www.atto.com/products/xstreamcore-intel...) simplify the deployment of large-scale LTO archives by extending SAS tape connectivity across high-performance Ethernet networks.

For broadcasters, studios, sports organizations and content owners, the rapid growth of high-resolution media is making long-term retention an increasingly important part of the storage strategy. The same challenge extends to sovereign data centers, universities, research institutions and enterprises managing datasets that must remain secure, accessible and economically sustainable for years or decades.

Together, MATTERHORN and XstreamCORE provide high-density, enterprise-class tape storage from Symply, connected to modern Ethernet infrastructure through ATTO.

Hyperscale Tape for Growing Data

MATTERHORN is Symply's flagship enterprise tape platform, designed for organizations whose archive requirements extend beyond traditional departmental tape libraries.

Scaling to more than 1,100 LTO cartridge slots and supporting up to 24 full-height LTO-8, LTO-9 or LTO-10 drives, MATTERHORN provides a practical foundation for preserving decades of high-value content and data without keeping everything on expensive always-online storage.

For media organizations that means a scalable home for rapidly expanding content libraries. For research, education, national archives and sovereign data environments, it provides the same long-term economics while helping organizations retain greater control over where their data resides.

Redefining Connectivity for Scalable Data Archives

Media workflows generate petabytes of data making tape an economical, durable tier for data protection and long-term retention. Yet rigid infrastructure and connectivity limitations can restrict its value.

ATTO XstreamCORE 8200T provides a purpose-built connectivity layer over existing Ethernet networks, enabling high-density storage systems such as Symply MATTERHORN to be deployed as a shared archive tier. Connecting up to 16 SAS-based tape drives over 40Gb Ethernet, it helps production teams securely access and protect the content they depend on.

By overcoming direct-attach constraints of traditional SAS-based architectures, ATTO xCORE™ hardware acceleration (https://www.atto.com/download/atto-xcore-data-acceleration/) supports consistent and predictable data movement, helping keep tape drives streaming efficiently during archive and retrieval operations over the network.

As modern media workflows, including those assisted by AI, place greater demands on infrastructure, XstreamCORE helps media organizations, broadcaster, and content creators support a unified data management model - spanning production, post-production, and archive operations.

Keith Warburton, CEO of Symply

"Media organizations are producing extraordinary amounts of content, and they need infrastructure that can retain it economically for decades while remaining part of a modern, connected workflow. MATTERHORN provides the scale, density and resilience, while ATTO XstreamCORE brings that tape infrastructure onto Ethernet. The same challenge exists in … enterprises where data ownership, security and long-term retention are increasingly important."

Tim Klein, President and CEO of ATTO Technology

"As storage environments continue to expand, connectivity cannot become the constraint. XstreamCORE provides organizations with the much-needed flexibility for integrating tape storage into their data-heavy workflows while maximizing the value of their existing investments. Combined with Symply MATTERHORN, it provides a transformative yet practical approach for the next generation of large-scale archives."

Together, Symply MATTERHORN and ATTO XstreamCORE enable organizations to integrate large-scale tape into the data center network - combining the economics and offline protection of LTO with the flexibility of modern Ethernet infrastructure. Beyond the media & entertainment industry, this joint solution provides universities, research facilities, sovereign data centers, and enterprises with a strategic foundation for delivering centralized high-density tape libraries as a shared infrastructure service.

Symply (stand 7.C21) and ATTO (stand  7.A24) will showcase their respective storage and connectivity technologies during IBC 2026 in Amsterdam.
