The Capacity on Demand (COD) feature allows users to easily increase capacity (from 12 to 24 slots) as their data grows. The hardware-based encryption capabilities of LTO-4/5/6 combined with a choice of SCSI, SAS or FC connectivity provides customers with flexibility and peace of mind. The MSL5026 is a 26 slot Tape Library with a native capacity of 1.04TB with 40/80GB DLT drives, 2.86TB with SDLT 110/220 drives, and 4.16TB with SDLT 160/320 drives. The MSL5030 is a 30 slot Tape Library with a native capacity of 3.0TB with HPE StorageWorks LTO Ultrium 230 Tape Drives. NOTE: The bar code scanner must scan each tape or the back of the storage slot until it reads the bar code label for the cartridge or storage slot, or determines that the slot is empty. The bar code scanner can identify a properly labeled cartridge on the first scan. It can identify an empty slot on the second scan.

• The TS4300 base library contains all of the necessary robotics and intelligence to manage the base library system, with a maximum of 40 slots of LTO cartridge capacity per module, five input/output (I/O) slots, and support for three combinations of full- and/or half-height (FH or HH) LTO drives per module.
• The mailslot is a single slot at the front of the left magazine that you can access without removing the whole magazine. Loading a tape through the mailslot is faster than opening the magazine because the device does not need to inventory the rest of the magazine slots when you use the mailslot.

In computer storage, a tape library, sometimes called a tape silo, tape robot or tape jukebox, is a storage device that contains one or more tape drives, a number of slots to hold tapecartridges, a barcode reader to identify tape cartridges and an automated method for loading tapes (a robot). Additionally, the area where tapes that are NOT currently in a silo are stored is also called a tape library. Tape libraries can contain millions of tapes.

One of the earliest examples was the IBM 3850 Mass Storage System (MSS), announced in 1974.

These devices can store immense amounts of data, ranging from 20 terabytes^[1] up to 2.1 exabytes of data^[2] as of 2016. Such capacity is multiple thousand times that of a typical hard drive and well in excess of what is capable with network attached storage. Typical entry-level solutions cost around $10,000 USD,^[3] while high-end solutions can start at as much as $200,000 USD^[4] and cost well in excess of $1 million for a fully expanded and configured library.

The Tandberg Data StorageLibrary T40+ combines high capacity and performance in a compact 4U form factor. The Pass-Thru feature allows customers to add additional drives and storage capacities when required, enabling up to five StorageLibrary T40+ units to be stacked together, increasing the number of slots from 40 to 77, 114, 151 or 188 slots. The Pass-Thru feature provides customers with an easy-to-use capacity-on-demand, allowing storage capacity to be increased up to 1.2PB* and performance to be increased up to 29TB/hr*

• Scalable capacities up to 250TB* (compressed)
• Performance up to 5.8 TB/hr* (compressed)
• Capacity on demand, easily scales from 24 to 40 slots
• Performance on demand with add-on drives and drive upgrades
• Pass-Thru feature, allows 5x T40+ libraries to be stacked together
• SCSI, SAS and FC connectivity
• Future proof with 8-generation roadmap
• Browser-based remote management
• Redundant Power Supply (RPS)
• Data speed matching, reduces mechanical wear and extends tape life
• WORM & AES 256-bit hardware encryption

The StorageLibrary T40+ family is designed to improve efficiency and minimize downtime. The Web browser-based remote management interface allows you to monitor, control, configure and diagnose problems from anywhere in the world. The StorageLibrary T40+ family supports system monitoring and can be easily configured to send an e-mail on any error.

The T40+ is supplied with redundant power supplies. The second power supply provides redundancy for mission-critical operations and avoids power interruption to the library. Both power supplies share the load under normal operating conditions. However, if one of the power supplies fails, the other will assume the full load. The StorageLibrary T40+ tape library provides outstanding value for IT managers who need to perform large, unattended backups, and require flexibility, reliability and a future proof solution.

The StorageLibrary T40+ metal construction provides an extremely robust and rugged solution for optimal, long-term operation. The tape drive, power supply and fans are all customer replaceable units (CRU) and can even be replaced without removing the autoloader from the rack. Tandberg Data automation products are backed by more than 30 years of experience in research, design and manufacturing of tape automation solutions.

Turnkey Solution

The Tandberg Data StorageLibrary T40+ ships with a barcode reader, rackmount kit, remote management and Symantec's Backup Exec QuickStart software.

Media Compatibility

The Tandberg Data StorageLibrary T40+ Series is compatible with industry standard, multi-sourced LTO media. To achieve the best reliability, Tandberg LTO branded and qualified data cartridges are recommended. For more information on media compatibility, click here.
