The part number AD588A refers to the HP StorageWorks MSL6052 tape library. This high-performance device utilises Super DLT (Digital Linear Tape) technology, offering reliable storage and backup solutions for enterprise-level systems. The tape library is equipped with dual Fibre Channel interfaces, allowing for faster data throughput and enhanced connectivity to storage area networks (SANs). This capability ensures the tape library can handle significant data volumes while maintaining high transfer rates over long distances, making it suitable for data-intensive environments.
The MSL6052 model integrates modular scalability, providing flexibility and allowing users to efficiently expand their storage capacity as their needs grow. The library is designed to hold up to 52 tape cartridges, lending it a substantial storage capacity that meets the demands of large businesses. Moreover, it accommodates two Super DLT drives, which enhance performance by delivering faster read and write speeds suitable for backing up massive datasets, archiving, and disaster recovery tasks.
It also features a robotic tape handling mechanism, which automates the process of loading and unloading tape cartridges, offering convenience and reducing the need for manual intervention. This contributes to improved operational efficiency and reliability. The library supports a wide range of backup and archival applications, making it suitable for industries with data compliance requirements and long-term data retention needs. Additionally, with its support for Fibre Channel, the device can be easily integrated into existing SAN architectures, further extending its utility in large data centres.
