Cost Effective Tape Storage Solution

HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Tape Library offers 13 cartridge slots or 600 TB of capacity per 1U of rack space, scaling from 40 to 640 slots with a single expandable library; there is no need to replace it as your requirements grow.

For investment protection, you can reuse LTO-6, LTO-7, LTO-8, or LTO-9 drives from an MSL 1/8 autoloader, HPE StoreEver MSL2024 or HPE StoreEver MSL6480 in the HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Tape Library. There are no additional license fees for installing new drives in an existing library.

Partitioning allows each partitioned library to be presented to the host as an independent library, separate from other partitions in the library.

Enterprise-class Manageability and Reliability

With HPE Command View for Tape Libraries (CVTL), HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Tape Library can be managed, configured, and monitored from any remote location via a browser-based interface.

HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Tape Library reduces human intervention and error by freeing up your resources with automated, consolidated, and simplified data protection and archive capabilities adding more to your bottom line.

HPE StoreEver TapeAssure Software is a licensed feature of HPE CVTL which provides predictive, analytical reporting of health and performance information for all drives and cartridges. It can also be used to track consumption metrics, enabling IT admins to make timely investments.

HPE Data Verification is a licensed feature of HPE CVTL that is supported with the HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Tape Library. Data Verification software proactively validates, scans, non-disruptively, the quality of data stored on LTO tape cartridges, which helps ensure the successful retrieval of data.

Easily manage your media both in or out of the library with a standard bar code reader and removable magazines.

Reduce Risk with Advanced Security Features and Reliability

HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Tape Library provides the ultimate last line of defense safeguard against the threat of ransomware as data stored on tape can be kept truly offline from the rest of the network behind an air gap.

Reduce the threat of cyberattack and other hostile incidents with the inexpensive HPE MSL Encryption Kit, a unique, self-contained encryption solution, which strengthens the innate air gap capabilities of a modern tape system without the need for dedicated software and appliances.

HPE Secure Manager License provides an additional level of security that lets you control access to the tape library by authorizing specific servers. It increases reliability by blocking disruptive traffic from unauthorized hosts to the library.

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.
