| Partitioning The MSL2024 Tape Libraries now include the ability to be configured as a partitioned library. MSL Libraries may be configured with up to one partition per drive; two partitions if two drives are installed. Partitioning allows each partitioned library to be presented to the host as an independent library, separate from other partitions in the library. Hosts for each partition own independent sets of media and can use ISV software that is different from the other partitions allowing maximum flexibility and utilization of the MSL library. | ||||||||||||
| Proven Reliability With a rating of 2,000,000 robot load/unload cycles, the MSL Tape Libraries provides necessary high reliability for today's demanding environment. To improve reliability and longevity, all HPE Ultrium products feature Data Rate Matching (DRM). This allows the tape drive to dynamically and continuously adjust the speed of the drive, to match the speed of the host or network. This increases performance, reduces mechanical wear on the tape drive and extends tape life. | ||||||||||||
| Disaster Recovery and Security Removable media also has the advantage that data is held 'offline' which means that archive data on tape has the additional level of protection from the threats to on-line data from viruses, hackers and cyber-attacks. LTO-9, LTO-8, and LTO-7 Ultrium tape drives include hardware based data encryption to prevent unauthorized access to data at rest. LTO-7 to LTO-9 cartridges are available with write-once-read-many (WORM) capabilities to prevent accidental overwriting of data archived on the tape. Both WORM and hardware data encryption features help organizations to comply with increased data security regulations. |
| Data Encryption The HPE MSL Tape Automation offers multiple options for data encryption, depending on the requirements for policy, regulation, compliance, and centralized key management.
|
| HPE MSL Encryption Kit The HPE MSL Encryption Kit provides a library-enabled encryption solution that greatly enhances data privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of your critical business data while supporting compliance requirements. While there are a wide range of encryption solutions available, the HPE MSL Encryption Kit is intended to be an easy and affordable library-enabled solution for small businesses.
The encryption kit includes two USB key server tokens, product documentation, and firmware support. One encryption kit is needed per library and it must be physically accessible so that the USB token can be inserted into the automation device. The second token will be used as a backup token, in case the first one is lost or damaged. The USB key server token will plug into the USB port in the library and will generate and maintain encryption keys for the LTO-4 and later generation drives. The USB key server token uses a hardware random number generator, password authentication, and digital envelopes for strong encryption keys and security operations. The encryption kit provides a self-contained solution for autoloaders and MSL libraries with no additional software, PCs, or servers required or involved.
|
| KMIP To meet requirements for larger scale encryption key managers, the HPE MSL Tape Libraries supports KMIP 1.2 compliant key managers. With the purchase of the KMIP Encryption License, the MSL2024 will be able to request encryption keys from KMIP 1.2 compliant key managers, for data encryption and key management. For more information on all supported key management servers, please visit: |
| Serviceability Modular in design, the MSL2024 has easily replaceable components minimizing the Mean-Time-to-Repair on the unit. Replaceable components include the tape drive, the magazines, the power supply and the controller board. HPE Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) provides easy access to the MSL error log, generates support tickets, and enables firmware downloads. L&TT can be downloaded for free at: HPE Library and Tape Tools | HPE Store US |
| LTO Ultrium Technology HPE LTO (Linear Tape Open) Ultrium Tape Drives use best of breed technology. By taking the best features from other tape technologies and combining them into a single new technology, Ultrium tape drives are in a league of their own. LTO technology is an open industry standard format; thus data written on HPE Ultrium Tape Drives can be interchanged directly with Ultrium Tape Drives from other vendors.
HPE LTO tape drives and automation products are founded on the LTO open standard and adhere to the published fourteen-generation LTO format roadmap. | ||||||||
| The LTO standard for backward compatibility up to generation seven is to write back one generation and read back two generations. Eighth-generation LTO Ultrium drives read and write LTO -7 and LTO-8 media. Ninth-generation LTO Ultrium drives read and write LTO-8 and LTO-9 media. As part of the LTO open standard, all HPE tape drives and media offer the same standards of compatibility with tape drives and media manufactured by other LTO vendors. | ||||||||
| LTO-9 Media Initialization Media initialization has been implemented in LTO-9 technology to optimize data placement on each LTO-9 cartridge. The initialization enables the tape drive to intelligently align data to a specific tape cartridge. Each new LTO-9 cartridge requires a one-time initialization prior to starting read/write operations. This initialization is only required for the first use of a new LTO-9 cartridge. Subsequent loads do not require additional initialization. The initialization process varies in time depending on the environmental conditions of tape and drive. Most initializations will complete within an hour; however, in some cases it can take up to 2 hours.
To help customers complete this one-time initialization of new LTO-9 media in tape libraries, the MSL2024 provides an "LTO-9 New Media Initialization Wizard" feature which will guide the user through an automated process to load uninitialized media into LTO-9 tape drives to facilitate the completion of the LTO-9 media initialization process. For more information, please reference the MSL2024 User Guides.
| ||||||||
| Data Rate Matching Data Rate Matching combines sophisticated buffer management with variable tape drive motor speeds to match the tape drive transfer rate to the host output. This feature ensures that the tape drive continues to stream data regardless of the environment, and brings three big advantages: - It optimizes performance and maximizes overall efficiency, allowing the drive to respond immediately to any data speed changes from the host. - It minimizes rewinding and repositioning of the tape, significantly reducing physical wear and increasing reliability. - It minimizes the power requirements for the drive by reducing the number of repositions needed.

| HPE Ultrium WORM Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store and manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies that can verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years. Every generation of LTO Ultrium tape drives feature the ability to archive and store data in a read-only, non-rewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a combination of integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape formatting, LTO Ultrium provides the ability to archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure, untampered state. All generation Ultrium tape drives include support for rewritable media and WORM media,for a secure, long-term archiving solution into any data protection strategy. LTO Ultrium WORM provides the following advantages: - A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs - Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM data cartridges - A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to prevent accidental or intentional overwriting of data - High-capacity, low-cost HPE WORM media that can store up to 45 TB (2.5:1 compression) of data on a single data cartridge - Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most comprehensive and mainstream support in the industry - The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all LTO Ultrium products |
|
Notes: While all HPE LTO Ultrium tape drives support LTO Ultrium WORM media, some LTO Ultrium tape drives from other manufacturers may not include read and write support for LTO Ultrium WORM media. For non-HPE LTO Ultrium tape drives, please check the manufacturers' specifications to ensure this support is provided if you are using your WORM media. If WORM support is not provided, the drive will eject the WORM tape cartridge immediately upon insertion into the tape drive. |
