In a global financial services firm facing shrinking backup windows, IT teams integrated the N7P36A-UPG KIT MSL LTO7 FC Drive into their HP MSL tape library. By leveraging LTO7’s up to 300 MB/s native throughput over Fibre Channel, nightly full-image backups completed 40% faster, ensuring RPO targets are met and reducing peak-hour I/O contention. This upgrade delivers high-speed data protection, minimal operational disruption, and predictable backup SLAs.
A multi-hospital network required a scalable, cost-effective archive for 20+ years of medical imaging to satisfy HIPAA and state retention mandates. Deploying the N7P36A-UPG KIT MSL LTO7 FC Drive enabled 15 TB (uncompressed) per cartridge and seamless integration into existing MSL libraries. The result is a hardened offline archive with linear scalability, reduced media churn by 30%, and audit-ready retention policies—protecting patient data and minimizing TCO for long-term compliance.
A large video-post production studio needed reliable offsite vaulting for 4 PB of raw footage to meet disaster-recovery SLAs. By upgrading their HP MSL array with the N7P36A-UPG KIT MSL LTO7 FC Drive, they achieved 250 MB/s sustained writes, cutting tape staging time by 45%. This high-capacity, Fibre Channel-optimized solution simplified automated vault workflows, ensured rapid content recall, and delivered a 35% reduction in offsite storage costs.
