Risk reduction - reliable data protection and security over several years

Protect your data in the library, after export and at other locations with multiple security encryption solutions. Either choose a cost-effective security solution for small to medium-sized businesses or choose encryption options for larger organizations that deploy servers with KMIP-compliant encryption keys.
Rely on long-term data archiving with media that can last for a long time under normal environmental conditions of 30 years. Easily transport rugged LTO cartridges off-site for DR purposes and use WORM media to protect against accidental overwrites.
For path failover features for high availability, host drivers are used along with the library and drive firmware used to manage multiple paths across SAN, provide applications with a single disk or robotics path, and automatically transfer commands to the new path when the original path becomes unavailable.
The HPE Data Verification Software is available for the HPE MSL6480 tape library. It monitors data quality and media integrity by scanning less frequently used LTO tapes, ensuring a greater reliability in data recovery.
