mANy DATA PROTECTION ChALLENGES —  
ONE SImPLE SOLUTION

The PowerVault TL series tape libraries enable two critical 
data protection activities: backup and archiving. 

Backup

Help avoid the risk of data loss. Create on-site backup copies  
of data, using the rewritable functionality of LTO media. 

Archiving

Create permanent, portable archive copies of data using 
WORM (Write Once, Read Many) capability. WORM  
enables you to create data copies that cannot be 
overwritten, to help you comply with government  
and industry data-protection requirements. 

SImPLICITy FROm ThE START

The PowerVault TL series tape libraries come rack-ready  
and can be connected to a server or a SAN. It features 
an intuitive operator control panel, plus remote Web 
management — you can perform setup and diagnostics, 
check status, monitor operations and logs, and upgrade 
firmware all from any standard Web browser. 

ThE FREEDOm OF AUTOmATION

Manual involvement in backup and recovery costs valuable 
staff time — and it could cost you data. The PowerVault TL 
series tape libraries can free your staff from the burden of 
attended backups, while freeing you from the worry of lost  
or misplaced tape cartridges. 

Here’s how it works: the libraries contain multiple 
slots for storing tape media, and use a robotic 
mechanism to move media automatically and operate 
independently — unattended. 

To keep contents properly organized, a bar code reader 
inventories all tapes stored in the library and tracks them as 
they are imported and exported. The optical cartridge-location 
technology enables precision cartridge handling and inventory, 
helping to improve the overall reliability of backups. 

LTO-4 backs up a staggering 432GB per hour per drive,  
while your staff is deployed on other work. But you stay in 
control, with an intuitive LCD interface plus Web-based  
remote monitoring and management.

ThE ENTRy LEVEL TO mID-RANGE TAPE LIBRARy 
ThAT’S RIGhT FOR yOU

With two models in the TL series to choose from, choose  
the size you need and you get the same great functionality  
in both units. The PowerVault TL4000 is a 4U solution 
holding up to 48 tapes, up to 38.4TB native capacity and is 
ideal for growing organizations. The PowerVault TL2000 is  
a 2U solution that holds up to 24 tapes for a native capacity 
of up to 19.2TB and is ideal for customers who are moving 
into the library technology.

If your data protection needs have grown and you want versatility 
and simplicity in an affordable compact tape-automation solution, 
choose the PowerVault TL series tape library.
