Storage Autoloaders & Libraries

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

The HPE 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 of any tape solution.

Once data expands beyond the limits of your initial HPE T950 Tape Library configurations, you simply add expansion frames to keep growing. Storage can expand up to 120 drives and 10,020 LTO slots (7,614 enterprise slots) in 8 frames. With versatile built-in BlueScale software interface you have intelligent command, control and data integrity functionality at the touch of a screen.

The HPE T950 Tape Library, with its compact footprint, is installed in many organizations world-wide to meet their backup, archive and deep storage requirements.

What's new

• LTO-8 drive support, with compressed capacity of 30 TB (12 TB native) and transfer rate of 360 MB/s (1.3 TB/hr) using LTO-8 Media.

Features

High Performance

HPE T950 Tape Libraries, from robotics, to drives, to software, to media offer performance innovations in automated tape technologies.

The transporter has been designed with two primary goals: performance and reliability. These are accomplished by reduced cycle time or tape mount time (better performance) and increased mean time between failures (better reliability).

With LTO-8 or TS1155 Technology, at maximum drive configuration, transfer data up to 155.5 TB/hr. (302.4 TB/hr. compressed).

High Capacity

When data center real-estate counts, the HPE T950 Tape Libraries offer you unsurpassed storage density and a small footprint through a unique and highly efficient library design built to fit into a standard rack-row layout. More storage capacity in less floor space.

Using innovative "shelves" instead of slots, and TeraPack containers in place of individual cartridges; the HPE T950 Tape Library uses less floor space.

Only buy what you need today and add storage capacity as you need it. Upgrade capacity in intervals of 10 LTO or 9 Enterprise tape slots at a time. Tape consolidation through capacity, performance, partitioning and reporting results in a lower total cost of ownership.

With LTO-8 Technology, you can store over 120.2 PB (300.6 PB compressed) of data at the maximum slot configuration and capacity can range from 50 to 10,020 slots and 1 to 120 drives.

With TS1155 Technology, you can store over 114.2 PB (285.5 PB compressed) of data at the maximum slot configuration and capacity can range from 45 to 7,614 slots and 1 to 120 drives.

Built-in Flexibility

HPE T950 Tape Libraries, can operate either LTO-8/LTO-7/LTO-6 or TS1155/TS1150 tape technologies. Paired with extensive software and hardware partners, organizations can develop customized workflows for every situation.

Thin provisioning optimizes the available storage in the partitions of a tape library. Administrators can change the size of a partition in the library without reconfiguring the entire library. It provides virtual storage capacity for simplified administration, reducing downtime and costs.

Empty TeraPacks provide a means to import tape media, already written with data, into a new library for continued use or migration. TeraPacks can also provide additional storage outside of the library.
