The HPE MSL3040 P84147-B25 is a Fibre Channel LTO-9 tape library supplied with one drive and 20 data cartridges rated for up to 45 TB compressed each, making it suitable for enterprise backup and long-term archiving over an 8 Gb Fibre Channel connection.
Recommended For
- IT teams in small or midsize organizations that use backup software to automate scheduled, large-scale backups and long-term archives; HPE positions the MSL3040 for these environments and recommends a full-featured backup or archive application.
- Backup administrators adding an offline or air-gapped copy to a ransomware-recovery plan, using the library’s vault partition or removing cartridges for a physical air gap.
- Organizations retaining records or other archival data for long periods that need automated tape handling and features such as WORM media and encryption.
- Organizations expecting archive capacity to grow over time that want to expand the MSL3040 with additional modules rather than replace the library.
