Hewlett Packard Enterprise StoreEver MSL3040 Scalable Tape Library Base Module

HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Scalable Library Base Module

The HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Tape Library Base Module from Hewlett Packard Enterprise offers a highly flexible and scalable solution for enterprise data storage. Designed to evolve with your growing data needs, this rack-mountable library features 40 cartridge slots as standard, with the capacity to expand up to 640 slots by adding modules, enabling you to store up to 28.8 petabytes in a single 19-inch rack. This scalability allows organizations to increase capacity and performance without replacing the entire system, maximizing return on investment and optimizing rack space utilization with 600 TB per 1U of rack space. The library supports a variety of LTO drives—LTO-6, LTO-7, LTO-8, and LTO-9—whether SAS or Fibre Channel—allowing seamless integration with existing infrastructure and easy expansion through quick, non-disruptive upgrades. Managing large datasets efficiently is vital for gaining a competitive edge in areas such as customer insights, product development, and supply chain management, and the StoreEver MSL3040 ensures that all your unstructured data is accessible and protected on-premises. The device’s enterprise-class manageability is facilitated through HPE Command View for Tape Libraries, providing remote configuration, monitoring, and management capabilities via a browser interface. Automated features reduce human intervention and errors, streamlining data protection and archival processes. The inclusion of HPE StoreEver TapeAssure software offers predictive health and performance analytics, helping prevent failures before they occur, while HPE Data Verification software ensures data integrity during storage and retrieval. Security is a key aspect of this tape library, with advanced features such as encryption, an air gap for offline data protection, and HPE Secure Manager for controlled access, safeguarding against cyber threats like ransomware. For additional security, the optional HPE MSL Encryption Kit provides hardware-based data encryption without the need for extra software. The system's modular design allows easy media management through standard barcode readers and removable magazines, simplifying cataloging and inventory control. With a weight of approximately 44 pounds and a compact 3U rack height, the StoreEver MSL3040 provides a reliable, scalable, and secure tape storage solution suited for enterprise data centers seeking efficient, long-term data protection and archival capabilities.
