HPE StoreEver LTO-8 MSL Ultrium Drive Upgrade Kit Q6Q67A

The HPE StoreEver LTO-8 MSL Ultrium Drive Upgrade Kit Q6Q67A delivers the latest LTO tape drive technology from HP E 

Hewlett Packard Enterprise offers Linear Tape Open (LTO) Ultrium cartridges for backing up, archiving, and restoring your data that are designed, manufactured, and tested for excellent performance. Including LTFS and AES 256-bit hardware data encryption, to ensure the most protected data is protected and unauthorized access is prevented.

Store up to 30TB of data

With a native data transfer rate of 300 MB/sec, Speed Matching further optimizes performance by matching the host's data transfer speed, ensuring drives and media always stay online. The HPE LTO Ultrium half-height drives are designed to be used with direct attached storage systems (DAS).

WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) data protection, a feature of the Ultrium 30750, provides IT organizations with a simple and secure way to archive records as part of a compliance solution designed to meet the most stringent industry regulations.

Upgrade your HPE MSL System to support the new LTO-8 media. This kit is compatible with the HPE MSL 2024, 4048, 3040 or 6480 Libraries.

Investment protection is provided by the Ultrium 30750 tape drives, which offer LTO-7 media backward compatibility.

HPE has developed a storage solution for LTO-8 tape drives. HPE StoreEver LTO-8 MSL Ultrium Drive Upgrade Kit Q6Q67A can hold up to 30 TB of storage, which is a really high capacity.

Since the native capacity of Ultrium drives has been doubled, Hewlett Packard Enterprise customers now require fewer data cartridges to meet their storage requirements, which has significantly reduced their IT costs and increased their ROI. 

HP continuously monitors the quality of their branded tapes using what they believe to be the industry's most comprehensive and forensic specifications.

Utilizing both HPE and non-HPE drives, they supplement extensive in-process QA parametric testing with ongoing drive-based scrutiny to ensure excellent performance for any combination of device duty cycle and environment.

Ultrium Technology's Linear Tape-Open technology

Ultrium Technology's Linear Tape-Open technology was developed by three leaders in the storage industry - Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, and Quantum- who combined their expertise in tape technology to produce an entirely new format based on the best available technologies.

Because LTO Ultrium technology was a new format, it required no cumbersome support of legacy formats, so it could be designed without compromising on reliability or performance. LTO Program, a consortium of three technology providers, has developed a twelve-generation roadmap.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise LTO Ultrium tape drives are the premier line of backup and archiving devices for HPE StoreEver. HPE LTO Ultrium tape drives are compatible with the LTO Ultrium format, an open standard with a well-defined twelve-generation roadmap.

In addition to providing ultimate reliability and ease of use, even at 100% duty cycles, HPE rugged designs incorporate hardware encryption to enhance data security. By dynamically matching the data rate of the drive to that of the host, the tape drives reduce wear and tear on both drive and media, while increasing performance even on slower hosts.

In addition to the tape drive family, HPE Library and Tape Tools enable performance and diagnostic monitoring. If your business is dependent on data, invest in a HPE LTO Ultrium tape drive. 

When you're choosing which tape technology to buy next, don't think about what you already have. Focus on your future needs instead.

LTO Ultrium is the best choice for businesses that want the following advantages:

• Maximum reliability, capacity and performance;
• Compatibility with a broad range of operating systems and servers (e.g., a mixed system environment) - Your website must work with a variety of operating systems and servers;
• A legacy-free technology that uses the best attributes from a wide range of tape technologies without any compromises for backward compatibility requirements;
• A solid roadmap for future generations of the technology;
• An open format available from multiple vendors;
• Lowest media cost of any 'superdrive' tape technology;
