Meeting enterprise data growth challenges head-on, HP ESL G3 Tape Libraries deliver enormous scalability to keep pace with
unpredictable data growth. Choose from a range of base configurations and scale up to over 12,006 tape cartridges in increments of

redundant power supplies, while host path connectivity failover provides optimal library performance. Management and control of
multiple tape libraries is delivered by an intelligent single pane of glass command GUI. Leading library management tools and HP
