Enterprise tape library designed to provide reliability, scalability and manageability with robust data protection and investment protection in heterogeneous storage area networks (SAN) environments.
The HP StorageWorks Enterprise Modular Library (EML) E-series Tape Libraries provide reliability, scalability and manageability with robust data protection and investment protection in heterogeneous Storage Area Network (SAN) environments. The EML delivers superior data availability with protection against SAN event disruptions using the built in HP StorageWorks Extended Tape Library Architecture (ETLA). You can flexibly scale to 808 TB compressed (2:1) storage capacity or 13.8 TB/hr compressed (2:1) throughput performance from rack-ready or factory racked configurations. Easily manage the EML remotely while simplifying complex environments with logical library partitioning. The EML delivers a centralized encryption key management solution through Secure Key Manager (SKM) and provides hardware encryption with the LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 tape drives. The EML delivers value through highly reliable data protection, agility through modular scalability and simplicity through ease of management.

Features
TapeAssure
•
TapeAssure makes managing, optimizing & archiving on the HP Enterprise libraries faster and easier. It provides comprehensive summaries & detailed information about the status, performance, utilization, & health of all tape drives & media. This data can be exported on demand or at scheduled times.
Secure Key Manager support
•
HP StorageWorks Secure Key Manager reduces your risk of a costly data breach and reputation damage. It also improves regulatory compliance with a secure centralized encryption key management solution using HP LTO-4 1840 Tape Drives in the EML E-series Tape Library.
LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 tape drive support
•
Compared to LTO-3 Ultrium 960 tape drives, LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 tape drive capacity is doubled, performance is increased by approximately 50% and encryption is supported.
AES 256-bit embedded hardware encryption
•
Provides a high level of encryption security, with compression, for strong backup data privacy to secure confidential information and address compliance quickly.
Superior SAN data availability
•
The EML delivers superior data availability with protection against SAN event disruptions using the HP Extended Tape Library Architecture (ETLA). ETLA intercepts rogue I/O requests from applications or new servers and prevents those requests from interrupting backup or recovery processes.
Heterogeneous SAN interoperability
•
The EML tape library ensures heterogeneous SAN interoperability and solution support. Certified through the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS), the EML tape library is compatible with leading backup software packages, operating systems, servers, and disk arrays.
Expansion to 808 TB compressed storage capacity
•
The EML delivers flexible scalability from 71 to 505 slots for consolidating environments needing up to 808 TB compressed (2:1) storage capacity. The number of drives and slots may be increased by the purchase of expansion modules bringing the library to 8 drives and 505 slots for maximum capacity.
Scale performance and throughput
•
The EML tape library has the ability to grow compressed (2:1) throughput performance up to 13.8 TB/hr. The number of drives and slots may be increased by the purchase of expansion modules bringing the library to 16 drives and 442 slots for maximum performance.
Flexible racking alternatives
•
The EML tape library provides flexible racking alternatives. Choose between rack-ready configurations that can be installed at the customer site or HP factory-racked configurations that minimize installation time.
Remote management
•
The EML tape library provides easy to use remote management, diagnostics and configuration capabilities. Utilizing HP StorageWorks Command View for Tape Libraries Software for EML or the command line interface, you can access the EML tape library from across the room or across the globe.
Library partitioning
•
Simplify managing complex environments with library partitioning. HP StorageWorks Secure Manager Tape Library Software for EML allows the user to logically divide the library into smaller libraries. This function is especially useful when multiple SANs or backup software packages are present.
