Tape Libraries  
Product Brief  
The HP StorageWorks MSL2024, MSL4048 and MSL8096  
Tape Libraries offer remarkable storage density without  
consuming valuable rack space.  
The HP StorageWorks MSL2024, MSL4048 and  
MSL8096 Tape Libraries deliver the maximum amount  
of storage in the minimum amount of space meeting  
the demands of a wide range of business environments  
for unattended backup, archive and disaster recovery.  
The MSL Tape Libraries feature web-based remote  
management for ease of administration from across the  
room or across the globe, thus reducing dependencies  
on local IT staff.  
The HP StorageWorks MSL4048 Tape Library gives a  
compressed capacity of up to 76.8 TB* with HP LTO-4  
Ultrium in a 4U form factor for small and medium  
businesses, unattended workgroups, remote offices and  
replicated systems.  
For large businesses, workgroups or remote offices,  
the HP StorageWorks MSL8096 Tape Library provides  
153.6 TB* of compressed storage capacity in only an  
8U form factor when configured with HP LTO-4 Ultrium.  
With a reliability rating of 2 million mean swaps  
between failures you can be assured of high end library  
performance standards. In addition, you may add a  
second power supply for even greater reliability.  
HP MSL Tape Libraries offer customers a choice of LTO  
Ultrium Tape Drive configurations and either a SCSI,  
SAS or Fibre Channel interface.  
Each MSL Tape Library includes a number of 12-slot  
removable magazines, including user configurable  
mail slots(s) and also a bar code reader for efficient  
media management.  
All HP MSL Tape Libraries arrive rack-ready for quick  
installation in a standard 19" rack, but both the HP  
MSL2024 and MSL4048 can be converted to a table-  
top configuration with a conversion kit.  
Small and medium businesses requiring an entry-level  
tape library will benefit from the HP StorageWorks  
MSL2024 Tape Library which delivers a compressed  
capacity of up to 38.4 TB* in a compact 2U form  
factor when configured with HP LTO-4 Ultrium.
