The HP StorageWorks ESL 286e is a high-capacity tape library designed to meet the data storage and backup needs of enterprise-level applications. With a part number of AA940B, this model comes without tape drives, allowing users the flexibility to choose their own storage media or upgrade over time. The library can accommodate multiple tape drives, though these must be purchased separately depending on the intended use case and required performance levels.
This unit can manage up to 286 tape cartridges, offering substantial storage potential for large-scale data archiving or backups. The storage system is scalable, both in terms of capacity and performance, making it ideal for organisations that anticipate future growth or evolving backup strategies.
The ESL 286e features advanced robotics for high-speed tape loading and retrieval, ensuring minimal downtime between backup or recovery tasks. With bar-code reader support, this model adds further efficiency by streamlining the tape identification process. This library also benefits from a front-panel display that offers administrators clear and easy access to important system status information.
The unit itself is designed to be highly reliable, featuring redundant power supplies for maintaining availability in the event of a power failure. As standard, it supports remote management features that enable IT staff to monitor and control the library from a distance, ensuring maximum uptime and reducing the need for on-site management.
