The HPE StoreEver MSL Tape Libraries meet the demanding storage requirements of businesses needing unattended tape backup, disaster recovery, low cost long-term archive capability, or protection against cyber attacks such as ransomware. The MSL tape libraries offer a broad choice of storage capacities and technology including LTO-9, LTO-8, or LTO-7 Ultrium tape drives. Web-based remote management capabilities make the MSL tape libraries easy to manage from across the room or across the globe. Quickly manage tape media both in and out of the library with the standard barcode reader and configurable mail slots. Protect important business data from unauthorized access with several data encryption options. Quickly increase capacity and/or performance with simple drive upgrades to manage data growth or move existing MSL tape drive kits between MSL tape libraries for investment protection.

The enormous, data-driven potential of emerging technologies such as 5G, AI, ML, and IoT is creating a plethora of opportunities for businesses to transform their operations. The challenge is that though these opportunities abound, they are truly diverse and may require very different storage optimizations. The highly scalable HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Tape Library offers enormous storage density in a cyber-resilient, scalable, and flexible form factor, which can start small but grow very big indeed, all the while costing less to run and own than other archival storage alternatives. With its modular design and ability to upgrade and reuse MSL LTO upgrade drive kits, you can cost-effectively store up to 28.8 PB of data.¹ The MSL3040 offers exceptional enterprise features and functionality. It delivers a tape storage solution that addresses long-term data management challenges, while also providing an air-gapped solution against the threat of ransomware.

HPE StoreEver LTO Ultrium Tape Drives represent nine generations of linear tape open (LTO) technology capable of storing up to 45TB¹ per cartridge, with hardware data encryption, HPE StoreOpen with linear tape file system (LTFS) for ease of use at an unprecedented performance. Data hardware encryption using AES 256-bit provides easy-to-enable security to protect the most sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access of tape cartridges. LTFS is an open format for storing data on tape that makes LTO generation 5 and later tapes self-describing and file-based. Capable of data transfer rates up to 300 MB/s native, the data rate matching further helps optimize performance by matching host system speed to keep drives streaming, thus enabling a faster tape performance.
