Q2079A HPE LTO 9 Ultrium 45TB RW Data Cartridge 3U Rack Mount

The Q6Q62C HPE MSL3040 Scalable Base Module is a modular, high-density tape storage solution engineered to meet the rigorous data protection and long-term archival requirements of growing mid-sized to enterprise environments. As the foundation of the MSL3040 family, this 3U rack-mount base unit offers an unparalleled combination of flexibility and scalability.

Designed to house up to 40 LTO tape slots and 3 half-height tape drives, this module provides a robust starting point for organizations implementing a secure 3-2-1 backup strategy. The "pay-as-you-grow" architecture allows organizations to start with this base module and seamlessly expand by adding up to six additional expansion modules, reaching a maximum capacity of 280 slots.

This scalability ensures your initial investment is protected as your data footprint expands, while providing critical "air-gap" defense against ransomware by keeping archival data offline and immutable.

• Massive Scalability: Base module features 40 slots, expandable to store up to 12.6PB of compressed data using LTO-9 technology
• Flexible Drive Options: Supports HPE StoreEver LTO Ultrium drives (LTO-6 through LTO-9) with Fibre Channel and SAS interfaces
• High Availability: Designed for maximum uptime with redundant power supplies and proactive health monitoring system
• Simplified Management: Integrated web-based remote management interface for global monitoring and configuration

No, the Q6Q62C is the base library chassis. Tape drive upgrade kits (such as LTO-9, LTO-8, or LTO-7 SAS/FC modules) must be purchased separately based on your performance and interface requirements.

Yes, the MSL3040 allows you to mix different LTO drive generations (e.g., LTO-7 and LTO-9) within the same library, provided the library firmware is updated. This is ideal for phased migration of older data.

Absolutely. The Q6Q62C is a standard 3U unit designed to fit into any 19-inch rack. It includes the necessary rack-mounting hardware for quick installation.
