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)，为AI时代一个不太可能的受益者提高产量五倍：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”。 生产能力的5x增长将根据2025财政年度的生产水平来衡量。
富士电影公司的神奈川工厂小田原厂的投资将“成为富士电影公司迄今为止对专用LTO磁带设施的最大投资 ”。 该项目将从2026年到2028年财政年度，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。
主流消费者可能早在几十年前就放弃了磁带，但企业界从未放弃过磁带。 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，该公司率先在商业上生产带子，配有铁丝网磁性颗粒，2025年，该公司首发了LTO Ultrium10，这是在介质中第一个通过将铁丝网的铝丝网与铁丝网技术结合使用公司所称的"精密混合磁性颗粒"的存储溶液。 每一代磁带(目前为Gen 10)的压缩和未压缩存储限制都出现了有意义的增加。
据Fujifilm称，“主要云服务和数据中心操作员”一直在扩大磁带的使用范围，因为磁带能够以较低的成本储存大量数据。 磁带备份可以很容易地断开并存储在抽屉，金库，或者单独的设施中。 Fujifilm强调将磁带盒作为用户数据的最后防御手段的能力：“鉴于网络攻击的复杂程度，磁带正在吸引越来越多的人注意，作为保护数据免受勒索软件等威胁的手段。”

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.”
