## Long description

The HPE MSL 1/8 Tape Autoloader is an entry-level tape automation system designed for long-term data retention and air-gapped protection against ransomware. This model ships with one LTO-8 SAS drive and five 30 TB cartridges (240 TB compressed capacity) and supports LTO-9, LTO-8, or LTO-7 Ultrium drives for flexible capacity and performance options. Remote management is available through HPE Command View for Tape Libraries (CVTL), and media handling is simplified by an integrated barcode reader, configurable mail slot, and removable magazines. Optional encryption protects data on tape if a cartridge is lost or stolen.
Advantages
The autoloader offers scalable, cost-effective offline storage with air-gap protection, tool-free drive upgrades for increasing capacity or performance, and compatibility with enterprise MSL systems for later migration. Remote administration via CVTL reduces the need for on-site IT intervention, while an integrated barcode reader and removable magazines streamline media management. Optional data encryption provides an added layer of security for sensitive backups.
Suitable for
 Small and medium-sized businesses needing long-term, offline backups
 Environments requiring ransomware protection through air-gapped media
 Organizations that plan to scale from entry-level to larger MSL libraries
 Use cases where remote tape library management is preferred
