load balancing issues in the tape infrastructure. It has unique capabilities of analytics around drive and
library health and life as well as cartridge health and life. Analysis of drive/tape utilization forecast helps
to plan hardware investments in a better way.
NOTE:
HP StoreEver TapeAssure Advanced Software is licensed by tape library; one license is required for
each tape library.
Save rack space, floor space, and power and cooling costs with industry leading storage density. Offering
13 cartridge slots per 1U of rack space (or up to 81 TBs per 1U of rack space) using LTO-6 drives, the
MSL6480 provides the highest tape drive density per module of any mid-range tape library.
Partitioning
Proven Reliability
The MSL6480 Tape Library can be partitioned 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.
NOTE:
The MSL6480 supports up to 20 partitions.
With a rating of 2,000,000 robot load/unload cycles, the MSL Tape Libraries provides necessary high
reliability for today's demanding environment. To improve reliability and longevity, all HP Ultrium
products feature Data Rate Matching (DRM). This allows the tape drive to dynamically and continuously
adjust the speed of the drive, to match the speed of the host or network. This increases performance,
reduces mechanical wear on the tape drive and extends tape life.
HP Tape Libraries include redundancy features for high availability. Dual power supplies are standard for
increased system reliability and uptime.

Longevity
Safeguarding data for
Disaster Recovery
High Availability
Organizations need to be confident that their data in archive is still there when they need it. LTO tape
media is specified with a 30 year shelf life in normal ambient conditions. HP TapeAssure Advanced also
analysis the results of every tape use to ensure the availability of data placed in long-term storage,
archive or DR.
HP StoreOpen with LTFS makes accessing files as easy as disk. Retrieve files from long-term storage
without dependency on backup software or hardware.
The HP StoreEver MSL6480 Tape Library can provide the 'last line of defense' for your data.
Tape is inherently 'offline to threats' - tape's removable media is off-line to the threats from
viruses, hackers and cyber-attacks that online data on disk is susceptible to. It is also a logically
clean copy that won't be accidentally overwritten by mirroring software.
LTO-5 and LTO-6 Ultrium tape drives include hardware based data encryption to prevent
unauthorized access to data at rest.
LTO-5 and LTO-6 cartridges are available with write-once-read-many (WORM) capability to prevent
accidental overwriting of data archived on the tape.
Both WORM and hardware-based data encryption features help organizations with compliance to
increased data security regulations.
To make the most of your library performance, the MSL6480 offers failover features:
Data Encryption
Dual redundant power supplies are included in each module.
Both library LUN control failover and drive port to port failover help support ongoing host and SAN
connectivity under a variety of adverse conditions:
Control Path Failover: reduces host command failures due to SAN issues
Connectivity: Integrated Fibre-channel (FC Bridging)
Configure a Primary and Failover Drive
Partitioning: Control Path Failover can be configured for each partition.
Data Path Failover: reduces read/write issues due to SAN issues
With solutions for the small to medium business through the enterprise, safeguard your data while it's in
the library, after export, and when it is offsite with integrated security features. HP offers two encryption
offerings, a native library-based data encryption and key management capabilities deliver one of the
lowest costs data security solutions and doesn't require ISV support.
Data encryption with HP StoreEver
The HP StoreEver LTO-6, LTO-5 and LTO-4 Ultrium tape drives utilize the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) with the longest and most secure keys -- 256 bits - for tape-based data encryption. AES-256
encryption is implemented using the Galois Counter Mode (GCM). This method adds Message
Authentication Codes to ensure the integrity as well as privacy of the backup data stored on tape. The HP
LTO-6, LTO-5 and LTO-4 Ultrium Tape Drives are designed to be compliant with the standard for tape
media security (IEEE 1619.1).
HP StoreEver MSL6480 Library-enabled encryption solution for the small to medium business
The HP MSL6480 offers an encryption solution that includes two USB key server tokens, product
documentation, and firmware support. One encryption kit is needed per library or autoloader.

How it works:
The HP StoreEver MSL Encryption Kit provides a self-contained solution for MSL libraries with additional
software, PCs, or servers required or involved.
HP Enterprise Secure Key Manager (ESKM) for encryption key sharing across the enterprise
HP StoreEver MSL6480 Tape Library
One USB key server token is installed in the USB port of the library to enable encryption. The token
must remain in the tape library or tape autoloader while encryption is enabled.
The USB key server token generates and stores keys for the LTO-6, LTO-5 or LTO-4 Ultrium drives.
The USB key server token uses a hardware random number generator, a cryptographic module
running on FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated hardware, password authentication, and digital envelopes
for strong encryption keys and security operations.
A second USB key server token is provided in the kit to be used as a backup token which can be
stored in a secure location.
The keys are transferred securely token-to-token for backup or export, with no exposure to
insecure PCs, servers, or networks. An option is also provided to save the token contents to a secure
file.
The most recently added keys on the token are able to be saved to a file to enable you to seed new
tokens with keys from other tokens.

features such as HP Adaptive Tape Speed (ATS) ensure that HP Ultrium drives can meet the performance
and reliability demands of a library environment. LTO technology is an open industry standard format;
thus data written on HP Ultrium Tape Drives can be interchanged directly with Ultrium Tape Drives from
other vendors.
Investment protection
HP LTO tape drives and automation products are founded on the LTO open standard and adhere to the
published LTO format roadmap which publishes the roadmap out to generation 8 at 32TB of compressed

Data Rate Matching
HP Ultrium WORM
Data Rate Matching combines sophisticated buffer management with HP's exclusive variable Adaptive
Tape Speed technology, to allow the tape drive to match its transfer rate to the host speed dynamically
and continuously across the wide range of transfer rates. This feature ensures that the tape drive
continues to stream data regardless of the environment, and brings two big advantages:
It optimizes backup performance and maximizes overall efficiency allowing the drive to respond
immediately to any speed changes from the host
It minimizes rewinding and repositioning of the tape, significantly reducing physical wear and
increasing reliability
It minimizes the power requirements for the drive by reducing the number of repositions needed

Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store and
manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies such
as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies that can verify the
integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years.
LTO-6, LTO-5, LTO-4 Ultrium and LTO-3 Ultrium tape drives features the ability to archive and store data in
a non-rewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a combination of
integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape formatting, the tape drives
can archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure, 'untampered' state. Since all
LTO-6, LTO-5, LTO-4 and LTO-3 Ultrium tape drives include support for both rewritable and WORM media,
IT organizations can now easily integrate a secure, long-term archiving solution into their current data
protection strategy. As compared to other technologies that feature support for WORM storage, the tape
drives offer the advantages of:
ATS data transfer rate range (native)
54 to 160 MB/s
47 to 140 MB/s
40 to 120 MB/s
35 to 80 MB/s
A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs
Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM data
cartridges
A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to prevent
accidental or intentional overwriting of data
Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most comprehensive and
mainstream support in the industry
