HPE StoreEver MSL6480 (QU626A) Scalable Expansion Module - Tape Library

Many businesses hit a storage ceiling when their tape library fills up. When the library is full, you cannot write new backups and you must delete older data, which is risky. This problem matters because it threatens compliance, recovery time, and overall data safety. The expansion module plugs directly into your current HPE tape system, giving you 80 more slots, 45 TB compressed capacity, and the same fast native transfer rate of 113.4 MB/s. It solves the capacity issue while keeping your workflow unchanged.

Usages of HPE

Use the module in a data-center to extend long-term archival storage for compliance records. Deploy it in a remote office to keep a local copy of critical project files while still sending daily backups to the main site. Add it to a disaster-recovery vault to increase the number of tape cartridges you can rotate without manual swaps. It also works well for media companies that need to store large video assets for months.
