Product description
The HPE StoreEver MSL tape libraries meet demanding storage requirement of businesses needing unattended backup, disaster recovery, or archive capability. Web-based remote management makes the MSL libraries easily managed from across the room or across the globe, eliminating the need for remote office IT staff. Quickly and simply manage the tape media both in and out of the library with the standard bar code reader, configurable mail slots, and multiple 12-slot removable magazines.
Product features
- Manageability
The MSL tape libraries come with web-based remote manageability so they can be easily monitored and managed from across the room or across the globe. - Partitioning
The MSL tape libraries include the ability to be configured as a partitioned library. Partitioning allows each partitioned library to be presented to the host as an independent library, separate from other partitions in the library. Hosts for each partition own independent sets of media and can use ISV software that is different from the other partitions allowing maximum flexibility and utilization of the MSL library. - Proven reliability
The MSL tape libraries provide necessary high reliability for today's demanding environment. To improve reliability and longevity, all HPE Ultrium products feature Data Rate Matching (DRM). This allows the tape drive to dynamically and continuously adjust the speed of the drive, to match the speed of the host or network. This increases performance, reduces mechanical wear on the tape drive and extends tape life. - Longevity
Organizations need to be confident that their data in archive is still there when they need it. LTO tape media is specified with a long shelf life in normal ambient conditions. - Data Rate Matching
Data Rate Matching combines sophisticated buffer management with HPE's Adaptive Tape Speed technology, to allow the tape drive to match its transfer rate to the host speed dynamically and continuously across the wide range of transfer rates. This feature ensures that the tape drive continues to stream data regardless of the environment. It optimizes backup performance and maximizes overall efficiency allowing the drive to respond immediately to any speed changes from the host. It minimizes rewinding and repositioning of the tape, significantly reducing physical wear and increasing reliability. And it also minimizes the power requirements for the drive by reducing the number of repositions needed.
