Quickly and simply manage the tape media both in and out of the library with the standard bar code reader, configurable mail slots, and multiple 12-slot removable magazines. If a tape were lost or stolen, protect important business data from unauthorized access with the library-based encryption option. Library investment and uncertain data growth are easily managed with MSL accessory kits. Quickly increase capacity and/or performance with tool-free drive upgrades, slot license capacity upgrades, or library expandability.

Protection and Flexibility
-
Native encryption on LTO-5 and LTO-4 MSL Libraries provide the highest level of security for strong backup data privacy to secure confidential information and address compliance regulations. The MSL Encryption Kit will provide secure keys to protect your backup independent of ISV application.
-
MSL Tape Libraries easily increase capacity and performance with tool-free drive kits or slot license upgrades. Leverage the investment in an MSL2024, 4048, 8048, or 8096 Tape Library by adding a second library to manage as a single, larger library using the MSL Library Extender.
-
MSL Tape Libraries offer various interface options for maximum flexibility when installing the tape library into a SCSI, SAS or SAN environment.
