Tape Technology will be obsolete when... Electricity is free And physical storage space is plentiful When people are honest And there are no more viruses or malicious code When no-one makes a mistake in backup or data handling And government regulations for data retention and security
have gone away When there are no more natural disasters And when hardware and software never fails
Unattended backup, DR and archiving for your businessHP MSL Tape Libraries
Meeting data growth challenges head-on• Automating business data protection• Scale up to 600 TBs of storage with LTO-6• Even easier to use with ground-breaking LTFS
• Cost-effective consolidation – LTO-6 reduces the amount of LTO-4 media by 75%
• Keep pace with data growth with HP MSL Library Extender Kit• Proactive drive, library and media monitoring with HP
TapeAssure• File management on tape for ease of use – HP StoreOpen with
LTFS• Integrated web-based remote management capability• Added data security - AES 256-bit tape-based data encryption• Encryption key management enabled through Data Protector

Scale up more cost-effectively• Only buy hardware when you need to• Saves power and cooling costs• Saves floor-space consumption• Reduces maintenance costs• Unlimited archive scalability – just add tapesFree-up resources• Single pain of glass to manage multiple libraries,
wherever they are• Reduced human intervention• Save on management timeSimplify processes• Consolidate backup and/or archive in a single
technology• HP StoreOpen with LTFS makes tape as easy to
use as disk for file management and interchange• Bulk load/unload of media• Reduce human errors
HP MSL Library Extender Kit is a mechanical mechanism that will connect two MSL libraries together allowing sharing of cartridges in new single, logical library.
Scalability: HP MSL Library Extender Kit
Investment protection• Leverage existing library investments to increase capacity and performance
as needed• Buy only the capacity you need today and then add additional capacity or
performance as needs increase• No need to relearn library manageability. Simply grow your existing solution to meet
new capacity and performance requirements Flexibility• Choose from a variety of MSL expanded options• MSL2024, MSL4048, or MSL8096 may be used together to create a configuration that
best meets the business needwww.hp.com/go/automation
A single, unified solution to economical, scalable capacity and performance that simplifies both short-term data protection and long-term data retention• Save Time
– Easy to deploy, use, scale, manage and service • Save Money

Using the GUI• A tape Library is defined as the mounting
point• Tapes appear as folders under the
mounting point • The tape barcode is used as the folder
name• Users can modify contents under the
cartridge folders – but not the folders themselves

Reducing storage costs – combining tape with diskPutting cold data on ice
– Estimates suggest that over 95% of data is never accessed again beyond 90 days after creation*
– Actively archive older data from disk to less expensive tape
– Why fly all you data first class when coach will do?
Delivering the most economical storage– Saves power and cooling costs– Minimizes floor-space utilization– Infinitely scalable– 30-year shelf-life for LTO Media enables long-
term retentionProviding the last line of defense
– Inherently off-line to threats from virus, hackers, or mirroring errors
– Easily removable for off-site storage – protects against natural disasters, fire, flood, building collapse
– Easy to use – bulk load, unload and storage of media
