About the HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Scalable Library with LTO-9
The HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Scalable Library with LTO-9 (part number Q6Q62A) delivers up to 3,000 slots of maximum scalable capacity, built on a 5U rack-mounted base module with 40 native drive slots. This architecture positions the MSL3040 as the enterprise-grade tape library tier for storage architects and IT procurement teams managing petabyte-scale archival workloads. Each LTO-9 drive transfers data at 400 MB/s native speed and stores 18 TB per cartridge uncompressed or 45 TB with 2.5:1 compression ratio, making it ideal for organizations where compliance, retention, and cost-per-terabyte drive strategic decisions.
HP's StoreEver MSL3040 combines automated robotic picking with barcode label scanning, dual host interface options via Fibre Channel and SAS connectivity, and hardware-level AES 256-bit encryption paired with HPE StoreEver ESKM key management. The library runs an embedded web GUI alongside SNMP and HPE StoreEver Library and Tape Tools management interfaces, supporting Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi through ISV backup applications. LTO-9 native read/write compatibility with backward-compatible LTO-8 support and LTFS file system integration ensures long-term media flexibility. RoHS, CE, and FCC compliance certifications affirm enterprise-grade regulatory standing.
Typical Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
- Long-term compliance archival for regulated industries requiring immutable, encrypted tape retention at petabyte scale
- Disaster recovery and business continuity backup repositories serving large VMware and Linux virtualized data centers
- High-volume data center tape library consolidation where 3,000-slot scalability replaces multiple smaller systems
- Cold-storage tiering for AI and analytics workloads requiring sustained throughput across distributed backup appliances
- Multi-tenant service provider and managed backup service offerings leveraging LTFS and SNMP monitoring capabilities
