Description

The HPE MSL2024 Gen4 is a 24-slot LTO tape library designed for SMB and mid-range enterprise backup and archival workflows. Delivered as a 0-drive base configuration, it allows organisations to start with the drive count they need and scale capacity over time — making it a cost-effective entry point into automated tape storage. The 2U rack-mounted library supports multiple LTO drive generations and offers reliable, high-density media storage for long-term data retention and compliance.

The MSL2024 Gen4 integrates with leading backup software environments and supports SAS connectivity for straightforward attachment to existing server infrastructure. Its compact 2U form factor maximises rack density without sacrificing slot capacity, and the modular drive bay design keeps future upgrades simple.

FAQs

Q: What does '0-drive' mean for the HPE MSL2024 Gen4 AK379B?
A: The '0-drive' configuration means the tape library ships without any LTO tape drives installed. You purchase and install the drives separately, allowing you to choose the LTO generation (e.g., LTO-7, LTO-8, LTO-9) that suits your performance and capacity requirements.

Q: How many tape cartridges can the MSL2024 Gen4 hold?
A: The MSL2024 Gen4 provides 24 tape cartridge slots in a compact 2U rack-mount chassis, making it suitable for automated backup and archival in space-constrained environments.

Q: What interface does the MSL2024 Gen4 use to connect to servers?
A: The MSL2024 Gen4 uses SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) connectivity, which is compatible with most modern server HBAs and storage controllers.

Q: Is the HPE MSL2024 Gen4 compatible with my existing backup software?
A: Yes. The HPE MSL2024 Gen4 is compatible with leading backup software solutions including Veeam, Veritas NetBackup, Commvault, and others that support LTO tape devices. Check HPE's compatibility matrix for your specific software version.

Q: Can I expand the MSL2024 Gen4 in the future?
A: The MSL2024 Gen4 supports the addition of tape drives into its available drive bays, letting you scale performance as your backup workload grows. However, the slot count is fixed at 24 within the single unit.
