High Availability and Hot Pluggable Drives	As data becomes more mission critical, and downtime becomes more costly, customers are requiring high availability features on tape automation devices. The HP StorageWorks MSL5052SL Tape Library uses hot pluggable SDLT drive carriers, allowing drive replacement without interrupting backup and restore functions. These hot pluggable drive trays allow for easy scalability of performance, as well as provide an easy upgrade path towards future SDLT drive technologies. NOTE: The MSL5052SL accepts only library ready drives specifically modified for use in the MSL5052SL library.

Proven Reliability	Using SDLT tape drives, and proven library robotics with a rating of 1,000,000 robot load/unload cycles, the MSL5052SL provides the necessary high reliability for today's demanding environment.

SDLT Technology	Digital Linear Tape uses a proven linear recording technology, a highly accurate tape guide system, and a read after write correction system to provide high-capacity, high reliability data backup and restoration. DLT has fast become the industry-standard secondary storage tape format for departmental and enterprise backup. The new generation SDLT tape drive, provides enhanced capacity and backup performance and includes several new features such as Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR) technology, Pivoting Optical Servo (POS), Magneto-Resistive Cluster Heads (MRC), Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) channel technology and Backward Read Compatibility with earlier generation of DLT drives (to be able to read media written in DLT type IV format).

Investment Protection	The MSL5052SL can be upgraded to Ultrium tape drives simply by removing the current tape drives and magazines and replacing them with the desired Ultrium drive. The MSL5052SL can also be upgraded to SDLT 320 tape drives by simply removing the current tape drives and replacing them with SDLT 320 tape drives.

Manageability	StorageWorks Tape Storage Management (TSMC) software provides diagnostics and easy firmware upgrade capabilities.

Multi-unit modular Scalability	The MSL5052SL has the capability for multi-unit scalability – up to four modules can be scaled together in a "virtual library". The first two modules are linked using Pass-Through Mechanism, which has the elevator mechanism for tape movement and a 10U Pass-Through Extender. Addition of subsequent modules requires additional 10U Pass-Through Extender (one for each additional module).

Service and Support, HP Care Pack and Warranty Information

HP Installation and HP Care Pack Information

Hewlett-Packard provides a one year, limited warranty, together with phone support for the duration of the warranty.
In order to provide ease of installation, maximize uptime and ROI, Hewlett Packard provides a range of upgradeable service options.

Hewlett Packard also offers 1-year options for the services quoted above.
* Support Plus covers Hardware support only.
Due to the complexities involved with the initial installation of an enterprise Library into a SAN environment, Hewlett Packard recommends that customers take advantage of the SAN Implementation Service (HA114A1). This service covers pre-installation preparation activities, installation and configuration of the library and router, configuration of hosts and switches, verification testing and customer orientation. In order to maximize ROI and product uptime, and minimize the cost of ownership, Hewlett-Packard recommends the 3-year, 24 x 7 service options. These offerings will ensure that any product issue can be tackled when they occur (most back up issues will occur outside standard business hours) and that the service coverage regarding period, covers the minimum expected life of the host system.

Auto Power On

Auto-power-on is a feature that allows the library to reboot in the event of a power failure without operator intervention. This feature must be installed by an authorized service technician.
