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
100 slots for capacity on demand. Incorporating between 1 and 96 tape drives you can consolidate and store up to 75 PB (compressed
2.5:1) of enterprise data.

Supporting data growth is only part of the story: the HP ESL G3 also delivers high availability through dual-robotics capability and
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
TapeAssure enables predictive and proactive monitoring of tape drives, media and library health. Hardware data encryption solutions
provide added data security.
