## Summary description

HPE MSL2024 is a 2U tape library system equipped with one LTO-9 SAS drive and 15 LTO-9 data cartridges (45 TB compressed capacity at 2.5:1).

Suitable for long-term backup, archival storage and cold data retention in SMB and enterprise environments.

## Long description

The HPE Storage MSL2024 Tape Library is a compact 2U automated tape library designed to provide secure, reliable and cost-effective backup, recovery and long-term retention for small to mid-sized environments. This configuration includes one LTO-9 SAS drive and 15 LTO-9 data cartridges, delivering up to 45 TB compressed capacity (2.5:1) and a native sustained transfer rate up to 300 MB/s over a 12 Gb/s SAS interface. The system supports hardware-based encryption, automated tape handling and web-based management to simplify deployment and routine operations while enabling an air-gapped physical protection strategy.
Advantages
The MSL2024 combines high-capacity LTO-9 tape technology with a compact 2U footprint, offering offline, removable storage that helps protect data from ransomware, cyber threats and accidental deletion. Built-in hardware encryption and the option to use LTO-8 or LTO-9 drives with SAS or Fibre Channel interfaces increase compatibility with existing backup ecosystems. Multi-factor authentication support provides an additional security layer for library management.
Suitable for
Long-term backup and archival storage for SMBs and departmental environments
Cold data retention and compliance-focused storage
Air-gapped protection strategies to mitigate ransomware and accidental deletions
Environments requiring a compact rack-mounted tape library (2U)
When it may not be suitable
The MSL2024 is optimized for tape-based offline storage and archival workflows; it is not intended to replace high-performance primary storage arrays for active transactional workloads. Organizations that require continuous low-latency access to frequently changing data may find disk-based or flash storage more appropriate.
