As workloads become more demanding, cyber threats become more sophisticated, and the spectrum of threats expands, it is essential to fortify the storage network against hidden risks. The network must deliver optimal performance, operate
autonomously, streamline management, and protect critical data. The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6800B with Gen8 technology delivers the performance, automation, and security necessary to enable these capabilities.

HPE Storage LTO Ultrium Cartridges provide up to 75 TB of ultra-low-cost storage to protect your data against the threat of cyberattack and meet the need for maximum 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 25-year legacy of ten generations, with native transfer speeds of up to 400 MB/s for LTO-10, there is a platform for every budget. Secure AES-256 encryption (per FIPS 197) provides even higher levels of data security and compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access. Linear Tape File System (LTFS) 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.

HPE Storage Tape Library Management Software provides an easy-to-use interface for efficiently managing, monitoring and configuring an entire tape library environment. The Storage Tape Library Management Software suite is made up of HPE Command View for  Tape Libraries (CVTL),  HPE StoreEver TapeAssure Advanced and HPE StoreEver Data Verification. CVTL provides the centralized platform for TapeAssure Advanced reporting and Data Verification analysis, along with remote management, diagnostics and configuration for all MSL Tape Libraries from across the room or across the globe. HPE StoreEver TapeAssure Advanced provides predictive, analytical reporting of health and performance information for all drives and cartridges.  HPE StoreEver Data Verification Software proactively validates and scans, non-disruptively, the quality of data stored on LTO tape cartridges, which ensures the successful retrieval of critical business data.

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.
