HP StorageWorks MSL2024 Tape Library

HP StorageWorks MSL2024 Tape Library - Business Class Libraries

The HP StorageWorks MSL2024 Tape Library is the ideal entry-level tape library that provides tape library capacity and extensive features in the compact form of a tape autoloader. With compressed capacity (2:1) of up to 38.4 TB using, the MSL2024 Tape Library can easily tackle backup and recovery jobs typically handled by mid-range tape libraries. Utilizing a 2U form factor, the MSL2024 Tape Library provides a large amount of data storage without consuming a large amount of valuable rack space. The unique HP web-based management feature reduces the dependencies on local IT resources, allowing multiple sites to be supported centrally. The MSL2024 Tape Library offers customers the choice of purchasing a library equipped with LTO Ultrium tape drives and either a SCSI, SAS or Fibre Channel interface. Each library includes two removable 12-slot magazines, and one user-configurable mail slot dedicated for import/export of data cartridges. A barcode reader is part of the standard configuration for facilitating media management.

Integration of the HP StorageWorks LTO-4 Ultrium 1760 SCSI Tape Drive.
IPv6 network protocol support. Libraries can now be connected over both IPv6 and IPv4 networks. Libraries have obtained the IPv6 Ready, Phase-2 logo.
Configure library into multiple partitions for maximum flexibility.
LTO-4 Ultrium library-enabled encryption to protect your data from unauthorized access.
HTTPS support for authenticated and encrypted transfers over the Internet.
The MSL2024 Tape Library provides an incredible amount of backup and recovery storage without consuming valuable rack space in an entry-level package. HP LTO-4 Ultrium tape technology offers 38.4 TB of compressed storage capacity (2:1) in a 2U form factor.
