Meeting enterprise data growth challenges head-on, HP ESL G3 Tape Libraries deliver enormous scalability to keep pace with unpredictable data growth. Choose from a range of base configurations and scale up to over 5000 tape cartridges in increments of 100 slots for capacity on demand. Incorporating between 1 and 96 tape drives, you can consolidate and store up to 15PB (compressed 2:1) of enterprise data. Supporting data growth is only part of the story: the HP ESL G3 also delivers high availability through redundant power supplies and future dual-robotics capability, while host path connectivity failover provides optimal library performance. Management and control of multiple tope libraries is delivered by an intelligent single pane of glass command GUI. Leading library management tools and HP TapeAssure enables predictive and proactive monitoring of tape drives, media and library health. Hardware data encryption solutions provide added data security.
