HP StorageWorks MSL6000 Tape Libraries
HP StorageWorks MSL6000 Tape Libraries provide a
secure, centralized backup in a single automated device, freeing valuable IT
resources for more strategic work. These libraries are ideal for medium to large
IT networks, with or without a storage area network (SAN), experiencing
uncertain data growth. The MSL6000 Tape Libraries offer a choice of tape
technology including the HP StorageWorks LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 with embedded
hardware encryption support, Ultrium 960, and SDLT 600 tape drives. Backups are
secure with AES 256-bit hardware encryption embedded on the HP LTO-4 Ultrium
1840 Tape Drives. Encryption key management support is available with HP
StorageWorks Data Protector and other ISV backup applications. This portfolio of
tape libraries offers a secure, scalable, and manageable centralized tape backup
solution that can grow with ever-changing backup and recovery needs, while
reducing IT staff involvement.
The MSL6000 Tape Libraries will scale to larger configurations by enabling a
single library to grow and change with capacity and technology as needs require.
Not only will the MSL6000 Tape Library scale within the family, but it can also
be scaled with MSL5000 Tape Libraries using a pass-through mechanism, for up to
16 drives and 240 slots. LTO-4 Ultrium 1840, Ultrium 960, and SDLT 600 tape
drives are available as upgrades to currently installed MSL5000 and MSL6000 Tape
Libraries. The MSL6000 Tape Libraries are easily managed through an intuitive
GUI-control panel and integrated remote web management, allowing simple
management capabilities from any remote or on-site location.
