Enterprise tape libraries demand predictable performance at scale. The HPE Q2079AN delivers native data transfer rates of up to 400 MB/s, with compressed throughput reaching 1,000 MB/s—enabling storage architects and IT procurement teams to design backup and archival strategies that meet aggressive Recovery Time Objectives without sacrificing capacity efficiency.
This 20-pack cartridge bundle features HPE's LTO-9 Ultrium technology, offering 18 TB native capacity per cartridge and 45 TB compressed capacity with a 2.5:1 compression ratio. Each cartridge includes embedded 8 KB cartridge memory and arrives with HPE standard non-custom labels, eliminating manual preparation overhead. The read/write media supports backward write compatibility with LTO-8 drives and backward read compatibility with LTO-7 and LTO-8 media, protecting existing tape infrastructure investments. Part number Q2079AN is designed for use with HPE StoreEver MSL and ESL series tape libraries, and operates reliably across standard enterprise environments (10°C to 45°C operating temperature, 20% to 80% non-condensing humidity).
Omnixon Global stocks the HPE Q2079AN in quantity. To request a detailed quotation for this LTO-9 cartridge bundle or discuss volume licensing, contact our enterprise storage team via RFQ today.
