This configuration includes one MSL LTO-8 drive with Fibre Channel host interface (8 Gb/s native) and 15 LTO-8 data cartridges providing 30 TB compressed capacity (2.5:1). Native sustained transfer rate is 300 MB/s. Suitable for enterprise backup, archiving and cold storage workflows.

## Long description

The HPE Storage MSL2024 Tape Library is a compact 2U automated tape library designed for secure, reliable, and cost-effective backup, recovery, and long-term retention in small to mid-sized environments. This configuration includes one MSL LTO-8 Fibre Channel drive (8 Gb/s native), 15 LTO-8 data cartridges and offers 30 TB compressed capacity (2.5:1) with a native sustained transfer rate of 300 MB/s. The library supports hardware-based encryption, offline air-gapped storage for enhanced protection from ransomware and accidental deletion, and web-based management for straightforward deployment and administration.
Advantages
The MSL2024 provides automated tape handling and broad compatibility with mainstream backup applications, enabling physical air-gapped data protection and reduced exposure to cyber threats. Its 2U form factor and simplified management reduce rack space and operational complexity, while support for Fibre Channel or SAS interfaces and optional LTO-8 or LTO-9 drives offers flexibility for integration into existing backup infrastructures. Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security for library management.
Suitable for
 Automated backup and restore workflows for small and medium businesses
 Long-term archival and cold storage of compliance or infrequently accessed data
 Physical air-gapped protection to mitigate ransomware and cyber threats
 Environments requiring hardware-based encryption and centralized tape management
When it may not be suitable
The MSL2024 is designed for environments that need offline, high-capacity tape storage; it may not be suitable for workloads that demand very high random-access performance or immediate, low-latency access to individual files. Organizations that rely exclusively on disk-based primary storage or cloud-only retention without an air-gap requirement might find a disk- or cloud-first solution more appropriate.
