Many companies struggle with growing backup volumes and the cost of disk-based storage. When backup windows stretch, productivity drops and compliance deadlines are missed. This tape library solves the problem by offering up to 900 TB of native capacity in a 3U chassis, letting you keep more data for longer at a low cost per gigabyte. The built-in LTO-9 drive delivers 300 MB/s transfer rates, so you meet recovery time objectives without buying new servers. The library also integrates with HPE management software, making tape handling simple for IT staff. Built-in 256-bit AES meets most industry regulations for data protection.
Usages of HPE
Use the library in a data center to back up virtual machines and databases each night. Media companies can archive raw footage and finished movies for decades. Regulated industries such as finance or health care can store records to meet legal retention rules. It also works in remote offices where network bandwidth is limited, allowing offline tape shipments to a central archive. Research labs can keep large experiment data sets safe. Government agencies can archive records for decades while staying audit ready.
