The HP StorageWorks MSL2024 Tape Library is the ideal entry-level tape library that combines tape library capacity and features in the compact form of a tape autoloader.

With a compressed capacity (2:1) of up to 19.2 TB using HP StorageWorks Ultrium 920 or 960 Tape Drive technology, the MSL2024 Tape Library can easily tackle backup and recovery jobs typically handled by mid-range tape libraries. Utilizing a 2U form factor, the MSL2024 Tape Library provides a large amount of data storage without consuming a large amount of valuable rack space. Perfect for replicated systems, the web-based management features reduce the dependencies on local IT resources, allowing multiple sites to be supported centrally.

The MSL2024 Tape Library offers customers the choice of purchasing a library equipped with one HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 SCSI or FC Tape Drive, or up to two HP StorageWorks Ultrium 920 or 448 Tape Drives. If only one Ultrium 920 or 448 Tape Drive is selected, a second Ultrium 920 or 448 Tape Drive can be added later if initial backup needs grow. Each library includes two removable 12-slot magazines, and one mail slot dedicated for import/export of data cartridges. A barcode reader is part of the standard configuration for facilitating media management. All MSL2024 Tape Library units arrive rack-ready for installation in a standard 19” rack. Also, all MSL2024 Tape Library systems and associated kits are RoHS compliant.
