Does your data storage capacity outstrip your backup, disaster recovery, and archive capability?

The Spectra TFinity Plus Tape Library delivers up to 45 exabytes (EB) of proven storage density packaged in a small footprint and offers scalability and speed to meet the requirements of the most demanding environments. Additional flexibility is provided through support of mixed media, both Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology and TS11xx technology, in the same library. Customers can also access and migrate data from legacy Oracle® T10000 media to both technologies. Using LTO technology, it can expand from 50 to 56,400 slots for 4.3 EB of compressed data. Using TS1170 technology, the library can expand from 45 to 42,930 slots for 6.45 EB of 3:1 compressed data. The tape library can support up to 168 drives with transfer rates of 241.9 TB per hour (725.8 TB per hour compressed) using TS1170 technology.

Does your data storage capacity outstrip your backup, disaster-recovery, and archive capability? Spectra T950 Tape Library combines field-proven reliability with storage innovation and gives you access to a full suite of enterprise storage capabilities. It delivers powerful library management, superior and proactive data integrity administration, and the outstanding total cost of ownership (TCO) for any tape solution. Once data expands beyond the limits of your initial Spectra T950 configurations, you simply add expansion frames to keep growing. Storage can expand up to 120 drives and 10,020 Linear Tape-Open (LTO) slots in eight frames. With versatile built-in LumOS library management software, you have intelligent command, control, and data integrity functionality at the touch of a screen. Spectra T950, with its compact footprint, is installed in many organizations worldwide to meet their backup, archive, and deep storage requirements.

HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Controller Virtual Appliances offer the functionality of a hardware controller in a cost-effective virtualized environment. They leverage your existing virtualization infrastructure and offer the same functionality as the physical mobility controllers to deliver network services that maximize Wi-Fi performance. 

The HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Controller Virtual Appliance is deployed as a virtual machine (VM), residing with other VMs sharing the same existing virtualization infrastructure for operational saving. Running on HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS-8), these virtual appliances can be managed by HPE Aruba Networking Mobility Conductor Software for higher scale and deployed using Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP).

The CX 8400 series provides carrier-class high availability with industry‑leading line rate 10/25/40/100GbE connectivity in a compact 8 slot chassis. It provides up to 19.2 Tbps of switching capacity based on a fully resilient design that includes redundant fabric, management, power and fans to create a resilient, highly available network that is ideal for the most demanding campus core and data center networks. It is based on the HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX), a software that automates and simplifies critical and complex network tasks.

Are your High Performance Compute (HPC) and AI environments struggling with file management?
HPE Data Management Framework 7 (DMF7) delivers centralized data management across HPC and AI storage systems and protects scalable, parallel file systems like Lustre and Spectrum Scale. Namespace reflection is used to create an independent snapshot of file system state, allowing you to recover file systems in a known good state. This system maintains file versions, allowing users to recover files from previous successful job runs.

HPE DMF7 automates data movement between tiers in a storage hierarchy, e.g. between flash and disk. Administrators and users can also use HPE DMF7 to move files between file systems, e.g. when files must be moved from storage that is being retired. HPE DMF7 improves utilization of expensive, high performance storage by automatically moving files to lower cost storage tiers, creating a virtual storage space that appears to scale beyond the physical capacity.
