Data Protection and Archive Storage

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.

The HPE StoreEver Rack-mount Kit provides a high-density, rack-mountable tape drive and removable disk backup system solution for both direct-attach USB or SAS backup and archiving applications, or a combination of both LTO drives and RDX docks in the same 1U rack-mount kit. Available in a generic format supporting both SAS and USB interfaces, the 1U HPE StoreEver Rack-mount Kit accommodates up to two half-height internal tape drives with a maximum capacity of 90 TB (compressed) using two HPE StoreEver LTO-9 Ultrium 45000 drives. The 1U enclosure also supports up to two internal HPE RDX docks with a maximum capacity of 8 TB per backup session when using two HPE RDX 4 TB USB removable hard disk drives.

Are you looking for the efficiency of deduplicating secondary storage without the constraints of a purpose built appliance?

If so, the HPE StoreOnce VSA meets your needs with the flexibility of a virtual appliance. You get all the features and data protection software compatibility of the purpose built StoreOnce Systems in software defined secondary storage. In addition, the portability and availability features of vSphere and Hyper-V provide added flexibility and resiliency. Up to 500 TB of usable capacity can be configured in 1 TB increments. A license server simplifies license management for large or dynamic StoreOnce VSA deployments. Intelligent Federated Management further simplifies operations with multiple StoreOnce VSA instances managed through a single console. StoreOnce replication and Cloud Bank Storage enable backup data to be moved offsite for added protection and to low cost object storage services for low cost, long term retention.

HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges provide reliable and low cost protection to guard your data against the threat of cyber attacks and ransomware, as well as meeting your demands for reliability when restoring data. They enable businesses to comply with the recommendations of law enforcement agencies around the world to maintain offline copies of their data. Built upon a legacy of nine generations, and with native transfer speeds of up to 1.44 TB/h for LTO-9, there is a platform for every budget. Secure AES-256 encryption provides even higher levels of data security and compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access. HPE StoreOpen and Linear Tape File System makes using tape as easy, flexible, portable and intuitive as using other removable and shareable media, such as a USB drive. Also, because LTO cartridges at rest require minimal additional power and cooling, they offer a greener, more sustainable long term archival solution for your data.

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 Tape Library configurations, you simply add expansion frames to keep growing. Storage can expand up to 120 drives and 10,020 Linear Tape-Open (LTO) slots (7,614 enterprise slots) in eight frames. With versatile built-in BlueScale software interface, you have intelligent command, control, and data integrity functionality at the touch of a screen. Spectra T950 Tape Library, with its compact footprint, is installed in many organizations worldwide to meet their backup, archive, and deep storage requirements.

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

The Spectra TFinity ExaScale Tape Library delivers up to 2.53 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 2.5 EB of compressed data. Using TS1170 technology, the library can expand from 45 to 42,930 slots for 6.45 EB of compressed data. The tape library can support up to 144 drives with transfer rates of 207.4 TB/hr (466.6 TB/hr compressed) using LTO-9 or support up to 144 drives with transfer rates of 207.4 TB/hr (466.6 TB/hr compressed) using TS1170 technology.
