HP StorageWorks MSL6060 Ultrium 960 Tape Library

HP StorageWorks MSL6000 Tape Libraries provide centralized backup in a single automated device, freeing valuable IT resources for more strategic work. These libraries are ideal for medium to large IT networks, with or without a storage area network (SAN), experiencing uncertain data growth. The MSL6000 Tape Libraries offer best-in-class tape technology including the HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960, SDLT600 and Ultrium 460 tape drives. This portfolio of tape libraries offers a scalable, flexible, and manageable centralized tape backup solution that can grow with ever-changing backup and recovery needs, while reducing IT staff involvement. The MSL6000 Tape Libraries will scale to larger configurations by enabling a single library to grow and change with capacity and technology as needs require. Not only will the MSL6000 Tape Library scale within the family, but it can also be scaled with MSL5000 Tape Libraries using a pass-through mechanism, for up to 16 drives and 240 slots. Ultrium 960, SDLT600 and Ultrium 460 tape drives are available as upgrades to currently installed MSL5000 and MSL6000 Tape Libraries. With the MSL controller-based architecture, a direct-attach configuration can easily move to a SAN-based storage environment with only an interface card upgrade. The MSL6000 Tape Libraries are easily managed through an intuitive GUI-control panel and integrated remote web management, allowing simple management capabilities from any remote or on-site location.
