富士软片拟将磁带产能扩至五倍
富士软片将在2026至2028财年向小田原工厂投资100亿日元，以2025财年出货量为基准，将磁带产能提高至五倍。扩产将主要生产用于长期备份和归档的LTO Ultrium10磁带，富士软片称AI数据中心正在推升高容量、低成本和安全存储需求。公司称这将是其对专用LTO磁带设施投入最大的一笔投资。
此次扩产是AI驱动的数据存储需求带来的实体基础设施投资，显示出数据量增长正在推动长期数据保存与保护设施持续建设。

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.
