HP StorageWorks MSL6000 Tape Libraries provide a secure, centralized backup in a single automated device, freeing valuable IT

resources for more strategic work. These libraries are ideal for medium to large IT networks, with or without a storage area network

(SAN), experiencing uncertain data growth. The MSL6000 Tape Libraries offer a choice of tape technology including the HP

StorageWorks LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 with embedded hardware encryption support, Ultrium 960, and SDLT 600 tape drives. Backups

are secure with AES 256-bit hardware encryption embedded on the HP LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 Tape Drives. Encryption key

management support is available with HP StorageWorks Data Protector and other ISV backup applications. This portfolio of tape

libraries offers a secure, scalable, and manageable centralized tape backup solution that can grow with ever-changing backup and

recovery needs, while reducing IT staff involvement.

The MSL6000 Tape Libraries will scale to larger configurations by enabling a single library to grow and change with capacity and

technology as needs require. Not only will the MSL6000 Tape Library scale within the family, but it can also be scaled with MSL5000

Tape Libraries using a pass-through mechanism, for up to 16 drives and 240 slots. LTO-4 Ultrium 1840, Ultrium 960, and SDLT

600 tape drives are available as upgrades to currently installed MSL5000 and MSL6000 Tape Libraries. The MSL6000 Tape

Libraries are easily managed through an intuitive GUI-control panel and integrated remote web management, allowing simple

management capabilities from any remote or on-site location.
