HPE Tape – Trusted Backup Solutions

HPE tape storage systems are a trusted cornerstone for organizations seeking secure, cost-effective, and scalable backup solutions. Designed for long-term data retention, disaster recovery, and regulatory compliance, these systems deliver high-capacity offline protection against data loss and cyber threats. HPE tape solutions provide the durability and flexibility required to complement both traditional and hybrid enterprise infrastructures.

Types of HPE Tape Systems

The HPE tape lineup includes standalone tape drives, autoloaders, and modular libraries built on industry-standard LTO (Linear Tape-Open) technology. Current-generation systems offer compressed capacities of up to 45TB per cartridge, making them suitable for organizations of all sizes.

Standalone tape drives serve smaller environments that require simple, cost-effective backup options. HPE autoloaders automate media rotation, offering hands-off data protection for medium-sized deployments. For enterprises with large-scale backup needs, HPE tape libraries provide high-density storage and centralized control of hundreds of cartridges. These libraries support advanced features such as remote management, tape partitioning, and scalable architecture for future expansion.

Integration and Compatibility

HPE tape systems integrate seamlessly with other components in your infrastructure. They connect to HPE RAID Controllers, HPE SAN Switches, and HPE Rack Servers via SAS or Fibre Channel interfaces, ensuring reliable communication and streamlined performance.

They also support leading backup software solutions, providing cross-platform compatibility and simplified deployment. Many models can be managed through HPE software platforms, offering unified control over environmental monitoring, system health, and backup operations.

Advantages of Using HPE Tape

Tape storage offers unmatched longevity, with cartridges rated for up to 30 years of archival use. Air-gapped by design, HPE tape systems are inherently protected from ransomware and other network-based threats. Their low energy consumption and high storage density make them ideal for maintaining large volumes of infrequently accessed data.

Organizations with budget-conscious strategies can explore refurbished HPE tape systems, which provide reliable performance and longevity while helping to lower costs and reduce environmental impact.
