High Scalability

The modular design of the MSL3040 includes a continuous robotics feature to provide in-box scaling for higher performance,
greater scalability, and higher reliability. Upgrades are fast and non-disruptive. Scale vertically from 40 to 280 cartridge slots to store up to 8.4PB* in a single 19-inch rack. Several drive options are available:

• Add between 1 and 21 HPE StoreEver LTO-8 Ultrium 30750, LTO-7 Ultrium 15000, LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 FC or SAS
  tape drives.
• Scaling up with the MSL3040 couldn't be easier:
  • Start with an empty Base Library
  • Add a redundant power supply if required**
  • Add between 1 and 3 LTO-8, LTO-7 or LTO-6 half-height tape drives and utilize up to 40 cartridge slots - a fully
    configured base unit with LTO-8 provides a max capacity of up to 1.2PB (assuming 2.5:1 compression)
  • Then add between 1 and 6 empty expansion modules to the Base Library - each 3U expansion module might require a
    power supply if further drives are to be installed in the expansion. (Redundant power supply needs to be added if
    required**.)
  • Expansion modules can be flexibly installed above or below the base library module
  • You can then configure each expansion module with up to 3x LTO-8, LTO-7, or LTO-6 FC or SAS tape drives and utilize up to 40 cartridge slots per expansion module

Notes:
* Assumes fully loaded with LTO-8 media cartridges at a 2.5:1 data compression ratio
** Extra power supplies need to be factory integrated in order to be TAA compliant

Partitioning
The HPE MSL3040 LTO Tape Library supports up to 21 logical partitions for greater flexibility and higher asset utilization.
Partitioning allows each partitioned library to be presented to the host as an independent library, separate from other partitions in the library. Hosts for each partition own independent sets of media and can use ISV software that is different from the other partitions allowing maximum flexibility and utilization of the MSL library.
