Product information

Description

The HPE Storage MSL3040 Tape Library with an LTO-9 Fibre Channel drive and 20 LTO-9 cartridges is a modular, scalable tape backup and archiving system for SMB and mid-sized environments. The base 3U unit ships with a single half-height LTO-9 FC drive and 20 media cartridges, providing a compact solution for on-premises long-term data retention with support for encryption, WORM, and remote management. The library supports Fibre Channel host connectivity and offers high-density scaling through expansion modules to increase tape slots and drives as storage needs grow.

Advantages

The MSL3040 provides a cost-effective, air-gapped option for long-term backups and archives, reducing exposure to ransomware and online threats. Its modular architecture allows incremental growth from the 3U base up to larger configurations, while LTO-9 media and FC connectivity deliver high throughput and large compressed capacity for efficient backup windows. Built-in features such as data encryption and WORM support help meet retention and compliance requirements.

Suitable for

  • On-premises backup and archival for small to mid-sized businesses
  • Remote or branch office data retention
  • Long-term storage for compliance and regulatory retention
  • Environments requiring air-gapped protection against cyber threats

When it may not be suitable

This tape library is focused on capacity-efficient, long-term retention and is less suitable as a primary storage or low-latency data access platform. Environments that require immediate random access to large datasets or cloud-native storage workflows without on-premises hardware may prefer disk or cloud-first solutions.

Key specifications

  • Form factor: 3U base library with modular expansion capability
  • Included drive: one half-height LTO-9 Fibre Channel tape drive
  • Included media: 20 LTO-9 cartridges
  • Compressed capacity (with supplied media): 45 TB (2.5:1 compression)
  • Scalability: supports expansion up to high slot and drive counts for large tape capacities
  • Host interfaces: Fibre Channel; SAS connectivity supported for integration
  • Performance: up to ~300 MB/s native transfer rate per drive (vendor-specified)
  • Data protection features: encryption support, WORM support, remote management

How to use

Install the 3U base unit in a suitable rack space and connect Fibre Channel or SAS to your backup host or appliance. Load the supplied LTO-9 cartridges into the library slots, configure the tape library and drive settings in your backup software, and enable encryption or WORM if required for retention policies. Monitor library health and capacity through the management interface and add expansion modules as storage needs increase.

What to consider before purchase

  • Required host interface: ensure your backup server or appliance supports Fibre Channel or SAS connectivity
  • Rack space and power availability for the 3U base and potential expansion modules
  • Retention and compliance needs that may require encryption or WORM functionality
  • Backup software compatibility with tape libraries and LTO-9 media

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term retention, schedule regular test restores, keep firmware and management software updated, and store spare cartridges offline to maintain an effective air gap. Consider incremental expansion as data grows to optimize upfront costs while preserving scalable capacity.

Reasons to buy

Highly Scalable for Greater Flexibility

Scale capacity effortlessly as your needs grow. The HPE Storage MSL3040 modular design expands from 40 up to 640 cartridge slots in a single 19-inch rack by adding modules — delivering up to 28.8 PB of raw capacity in a compact footprint. This vertical scaling maximizes rack utilization (up to 600 TB per 1U) so you get more storage without buying a whole new library.

Support for up to 48 half-height LTO-9, LTO-8, or LTO-7 SAS or Fibre Channel Ultrium drives ensures exceptional throughput and fast data access. Drives and expansion units install easily and configure quickly with no disruption to operations.

Cost-Effective Tape Storage Solution

Get enterprise-class capacity and predictable costs. The MSL3040 delivers 13 cartridge slots (or 600 TB per 1U using LTO-9 with 2.5:1 compression) and scales within a single expandable library from 40 to 640 slots so you avoid costly forklift upgrades as demand increases.

Protect your investment by reusing existing LTO-7/8/9 drives or adding new ones — there are no additional license fees for installing drives into an existing library. Flexible partitioning lets you present each partition as an independent library to hosts, enabling multi-tenant or workload-segmented deployments.

Enterprise-class Manageability and Reliability

Simplify administration with centralized, browser-based management. HPE Storage Tape Library Management Software and HPE Command View for Tape Libraries let you configure, monitor, and automate tape operations remotely, reducing manual intervention and operational risk.

Tap advanced diagnostics and analytics: TapeAssure Advanced provides predictive health and performance reporting for drives and cartridges, while Data Verification non-disruptively scans cartridge data to help ensure successful data retrieval. Manage media on and off the shelf with a standard barcode reader and removable magazines for efficient inventory control.

Reduce Risk with Advanced Security and High Availability

Protect critical data with layered, built-in security. The MSL3040 supports an integrated encryption kit — a self-contained solution that secures data without requiring additional servers, appliances, or complex KMIP infrastructures.

Enhance access control with HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Secure Manager LTU to authorize specific servers and block unauthorized hosts, improving operational reliability. High-availability path failover uses host drivers, library, and drive firmware to present single drive/robot paths and automatically switch to alternate paths if a connection is lost.
