Protect Data in Rack Server Environments Storage

Protect critical data while maximizing efficiency in rack server environments. HPE Storage Rack-mount Kits provide a cost-effective, rack-mountable enclosure designed to ensure secure, stable installation of HPE LTO-8 and LTO-9 drives. Scalable to meet growing storage needs, they deliver a reliable, budget-friendly solution for organizations seeking to protect data and expand capacity with confidence. 

The HPE Storage Rack-mount Kits provide a high-density, rack-mountable tape drive enclosure for SAS backup and archiving applications. Because these enclosures use standard internal tape drives, they provide a cost-effective means of mounting tape drives in rack server environments. These enclosures provide customers with scalability, allowing the customer to add drives and migrate to new tape drive technologies as their capacity and performance needs grow. HPE Rack-mount Kits are supported by ProLiant, HPE Integrity, and Apollo platforms.

1U Rack-mount Kit

The 1U Rack-mount Kit is available with a SAS interface.  The 1U SAS enclosure supports up to two LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 or LTO-9 Ultrium 45000 tape drives with a maximum capacity of 90 TB when using two LTO-9 Ultrium 45000 SAS drives (assuming 2.5:1 data compression).
