Highly Scalable for Greater Flexibility

HPE Storage MSL3040 Tape Library scales vertically from 40 to 640 cartridge slots to store up to 28.8 PB in a single 19-inch rack by simply adding additional modules to boost capacity without the need to invest in a whole new library.

Reduce cost and helps maximize ROI with better utilization of rack space—600 TB per 1U.

Supports up to 48 half-height LTO-9, LTO-8, or LTO-7 SAS or FC Ultrium drives for exceptional performance. Drives and expansion units install easily and configure quickly without disruption.

Features:

• The HPE Smart Choice purchase program includes the popular MSL3040 library featured with LTO-9 FC or SAS interfaces that can be quickly quoted and shipped through HPE authorized partners.

Cost Effective Tape Storage Solution

HPE Storage MSL3040 Tape Library offers 13 cartridge slots or 600 TB (using LTO-9 tapes and 2.5:1 compression) of capacity per 1U of rack space, scaling from 40 to 640 slots with a single expandable library; there is no need to replace it as your requirements grow.

For investment protection, you can reuse existing LTO-9, LTO-8, or LTO-7 drives or upgrade to new drives. There are no additional license fees for installing new drives in an existing library.

Partitioning allows each partitioned library to be presented to the host as an independent library, separate from other partitions in the library.

Reduce Risk with Advanced Security Features and Reliability

HPE Storage MSL3040 Tape Library provides complementary layers of defense and improves security by isolating, protecting, and segregating critical data from unauthorized access and potential threats.

Reduce the threat of cyberattack with the MSL encryption kit, a fully self-contained encryption system which can be deployed without the need for an extra server or appliance, additional software or the complexity of a full KMIP solution.

HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Secure Manager LTU provides an additional level of security that lets you control access to the tape library by authorizing specific servers. It increases reliability by blocking disruptive traffic from unauthorized hosts to the library.

High availability path failover uses host drivers in conjunction with library and drive firmware to manage multiple paths across multiple SANs. It presents a single drive or robot path to applications and automatically transfers commands to an alternate path if the original one is lost.
