Description
Capacity of 72TB
The AK379A HP Tape Library has a capacity of 36TB or 72TB, depending on the configuration. This means that it can store up to 36TB or 72TB of data on its tapes. The capacity of a tape library is determined by the number of tapes it can hold, as well as the capacity of each tape. The AK379A has 24 slots for tapes, and each slot can hold an LTO Ultrium tape, which can store up to 15TB of uncompressed data per tape. Therefore, the total capacity of the library will be the number of tapes * capacity of each tape.
It’s worth noting that the actual usable capacity may be less than the maximum capacity, as there may be some overhead for file management, formatting, and other factors. However, the AK379A’s high capacity makes it a good solution for organizations with large amounts of data to store, such as those in the media and entertainment, healthcare, or government sectors.
Remote Management Capabilities
The AK379A HP Tape Library has remote management capabilities that allow organizations to manage and monitor the library remotely. These capabilities provide organizations with greater flexibility and convenience in managing their data storage infrastructure.
One of the remote management capabilities of the AK379A is the ability to monitor and manage the library through a web-based interface. This interface can be accessed from any device with a web browser and internet connection, allowing organizations to manage the library from any location.
Another remote management capability is the ability to remotely monitor the library’s status, including the number of tapes in use, the amount of data stored, and any error messages. This allows organizations to quickly identify and resolve any issues with the library.
The AK379A also has the ability to be managed remotely through command-line interface (CLI) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This allows organizations to use their existing management tools to manage the library and allows for better integration with the existing IT infrastructure.
Additionally, the AK379A has the ability to be managed remotely using HPE Library and Tape Tools (LTT), an advanced management software that allows organizations to perform tape library management, diagnose and troubleshoot issues, and perform firmware updates remotely.
Rack Mountable Design
The AK379A HP Tape Library has a rack mountable design, which means it can be easily installed in a standard 19-inch server rack. This design allows for easy integration into existing data center infrastructure and can save on floor space.
A rack mountable design also makes it easy to access and service the library. The tape library can be mounted on a slide rail kit, making it easy to slide in and out of the rack for maintenance and upgrades. This is especially useful for data centers with limited space or for organizations that need to frequently move or reconfigure their data storage systems.
Rack mountable design also makes it easy for cable management. The power and data cables can be organized and managed easily by using cable management arm. This ensures a clean and organized installation, which can help improve the overall reliability and performance of the tape library.
The 2U form factor of the AK379A also makes it easy to integrate into existing data center infrastructure, as it occupies minimal rack space. This makes it an ideal solution for organizations with limited data center space or for those looking to expand their data storage capacity without taking up too much room.
