MSL2024, MSL4048 and MSL8096
Tape Libraries
Product Brief
The HP StorageWorks MSL2024, MSL4048 and MSL8096
Tape Libraries offer remarkable storage density without
consuming valuable rack space.
The HP StorageWorks MSL2024, MSL4048 and
MSL8096 Tape Libraries deliver the maximum amount
of storage in the minimum amount of space meeting
the demands of a wide range of business environments
for unattended backup, archive and disaster recovery.
The MSL Tape Libraries feature web-based remote
management for ease of administration from across the
room or across the globe, thus reducing dependencies
on local IT staff.
The HP StorageWorks MSL4048 Tape Library gives a
compressed capacity of up to 76.8 TB* with HP LTO-4
Ultrium in a 4U form factor for small and medium
businesses, unattended workgroups, remote offices and
replicated systems.
For large businesses, workgroups or remote offices,
the HP StorageWorks MSL8096 Tape Library provides
153.6 TB* of compressed storage capacity in only an
8U form factor when configured with HP LTO-4 Ultrium.
With a reliability rating of 2 million mean swaps
between failures you can be assured of high end library
performance standards. In addition, you may add a
second power supply for even greater reliability.
HP MSL Tape Libraries offer customers a choice of LTO
Ultrium Tape Drive configurations and either a SCSI,
SAS or Fibre Channel interface.
Each MSL Tape Library includes a number of 12-slot
removable magazines, including user configurable
mail slots(s) and also a bar code reader for efficient
media management.
All HP MSL Tape Libraries arrive rack-ready for quick
installation in a standard 19" rack, but both the HP
MSL2024 and MSL4048 can be converted to a table-
top configuration with a conversion kit.
Small and medium businesses requiring an entry-level
tape library will benefit from the HP StorageWorks
MSL2024 Tape Library which delivers a compressed
capacity of up to 38.4 TB* in a compact 2U form
factor when configured with HP LTO-4 Ultrium.
