HPE Tape Storage is a high-capacity, cost-effective archive and backup solution that leverages advanced LTO technology. It delivers long-term data retention, offline security and low total cost of ownership for enterprise environments.

A

HPE Tape Libraries support capacity from tens of terabytes to multiple petabytes using LTO-8 and LTO-9 media. Modular expansion modules allow dynamic scaling to meet growing data volumes.

A

HPE Tape Storage uses error-correcting codes, dual read/write heads and comprehensive health monitoring to maintain data integrity. Automated media verification and predictive analytics minimize the risk of data loss.

A

HPE Tape Storage offers AES-256 hardware encryption, secure key management and optional WORM (Write Once, Read Many) media. Offline, air-gapped tape reduces exposure to cyber threats and ransomware.

A

HPE Tape Storage integrates with major cloud providers via HPE Cloud Bank Storage, enabling policy-driven tiering between tape and cloud. This hybrid model optimizes costs while maintaining on-premises control.

A

HPE StoreOpen uses the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) to present tape media as a POSIX-compliant file system. It simplifies data access, drag-and-drop operations and cross-platform interoperability without proprietary software.

A

HPE Tape Storage is certified with major backup and archive software including Veritas NetBackup, Commvault, Veeam, IBM Spectrum Protect and Micro Focus Data Protector. API integration ensures seamless orchestration.

A

By offering low media cost per TB, minimal power/ cooling requirements and automated management, HPE Tape Storage lowers operational expenses. Offline storage on tape also reduces recurring maintenance fees compared to spinning disks.

A

HPE Tape Libraries deliver up to 900 MB/s native per drive (4:1 compressed to 3.6 GB/s). Library robotics and parallel drive I/O maximize throughput for backup windows and large-scale archive tasks.

A

Modular expansion frames and robotic carousels enable non-disruptive scaling of capacity and drive count. You can add media slots or drives on demand to match evolving archive and backup requirements.

A

HPE Tape Libraries offer built-in robotics, bar code readers, library partitioning and SLAs for automated media handling. Integration with HPE OneView and third-party orchestration tools streamlines day-to-day operations.

A

Yes. HPE Tape Storage supports WORM cartridges that prevent data alteration or deletion once written. This feature ensures regulatory compliance for financial, healthcare and legal archives.

A

HPE implements media lifecycle management, proactive cartridge health scanning and automated repellency tests. These processes detect and remediate potential failures before data is at risk.

A

Tape consumes no power when offline, resulting in up to 95% lower energy usage compared to disk. Reduced cooling needs and extended media lifespan further shrink your data center’s carbon footprint.

A

HPE provides end-to-end support with optional Proactive Care, installation services, migration planning and 24x7 global assistance. Certified field engineers and remote diagnostics ensure high availability and rapid issue resolution.
