在发布星期四的公告中，Fujifilm 称将投资约100亿日元(约6300万美元)来为AI时代一个不太可能的受益者增加五倍的生产能力：磁带。
Fujifilm将归档需求的激增归因于基因AI的传播，该公司指出，这正在产生全世界数据需求的“负责任增长”。 将根据2025财政年度的生产水平来衡量生产能力的5x增长。
富士电影公司Kanagawa工厂(小田原厂)的投资将使其成为“富士电影公司迄今为止在专用LTO磁带设施中进行的最大投资 ”。 该项目将从2026至2028财政年度，为制造业扩张和增加人员提供资金，主要是制作新一代的“FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium10”磁带。
主流消费者可能几十年前就放弃了磁带，但企业界从未放弃过。 云巨人依靠磁带支撑大量的数据。 Fujifilm将磁带作为数据存储介质的工作可以追溯到1950年代，2000年，发布公司第一台LTO Ultrium存储带。 2011年，该公司率先以出自"活泼"(Barium ferrite magnets)为商业生产带子，并于2025年首发了"活泼"(LTO Ultrium10)，这是在介质中第一个通过将活泼"活泼"(Barium ferrite)与"活泼"(strentium ferrite)技术结合而使用公司所称之为"精密混合磁粒子"的存储溶液。 每代磁带(目前为Gen 10)在压缩和未压缩的存储限制上都出现了有意义的增加。
Fujifilm说，“主要云服务和数据中心操作员”正在扩大磁带的使用范围，因为磁带可以相对低廉地储存大量数据。 磁带备份可以容易地被断开并存储在抽屉，金库，或单独的设施中。 Fujifilm强调将相机相机相机相机相机相机相机相机

In an announcement released Thursday, Fujifilm said it will invest roughly 10 billion yen (about $63 million) to increase its production capacity fivefold for an unlikely beneficiary of the AI era: magnetic tape.
Fujifilm attributes the surge in archiving demand to the spread of generative AI, which the company remarked is producing “exponential growth” in data needs worldwide. The 5x increase in production capacity will be measured against fiscal year 2025 production levels.
The investment in Fujifilm’s Kanagawa Factory, Odawara site will make it “the largest investment Fujifilm has made to date in dedicated LTO tape facilities.” The project will run from fiscal years 2026 through 2028 to fund manufacturing expansion and additional personnel, primarily to produce the latest-generation “FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium10” tape.
Mainstream consumers may have abandoned tape decades ago, but the enterprise world never did. Cloud giants rely on tape to back up vast troves of data. Fujifilm’s work with magnetic tape as a data storage medium dates back to the 1950s, and in 2000, the company released its first LTO Ultrium storage tape. In 2011, the company was the first to commercially produce tape with barium ferrite magnetic particles, and in 2025 it debuted the LTO Ultrium10, the first storage solution in the medium to use what the company calls “fine hybrid magnetic particles” by combining barium ferrite with strontium ferrite tech. Each generation of tape (currently Gen 10) has seen meaningful increases in both compressed and uncompressed storage limits.
According to Fujifilm, “major cloud service and data center operators” have been expanding their use of magnetic tape because it can store large data volumes at relatively low cost. Tape backups can be easily disconnected and stored in a drawer, a vault, or a separate facility. Fujifilm highlights the ability to air-gap tape cartridges as a last defense for user data: “Given the sophistication of cyberattacks, magnetic tape is attracting increasing attention as a means of protecting data from threats such as ransomware.”
