HPE StoreEver LTO Ultrium tape libraries deliver enterprise-grade data protection through LTFS-compatible media, REST API-driven management integration, and orchestration support within hypervisor environments. The HPE Q2078AN library pack provides organizations with a scalable, cost-effective foundation for long-term archival storage and compliance workflows.
This 20-pack of HPE LTO-8 Ultrium cartridges is engineered for storage architects and IT procurement teams managing large-scale backup and archive ecosystems. Each cartridge in the Q2078AN configuration offers native capacity of 12 TB, expandable to 30 TB under 2.5:1 compression, with transfer rates reaching 360 MB/s native and up to 900 MB/s compressed. The read/write format supports backward compatibility with LTO-7 formatted media, enabling seamless integration into existing HPE StoreEver MSL tape libraries and autoloaders equipped with LTO Ultrium 8 drives. Non-custom pre-printed barcode labels streamline inventory management, while 256-bit AES encryption at the drive level protects sensitive data in transit and at rest. LTFS compatibility ensures cross-platform accessibility and reduces vendor lock-in risks.
