ATTO provides a purpose-built solution to add high-speed Ethernet connectivity to Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) StoreEver MSL SAS LTO Tape Libraries.  ATTO XstreamCORE ET 8200 intelligent bridges allow the remote connection of SAS tape drives over standard Ethernet networks using iSCSI and iSER protocols. 

When combined with HPE StoreEver MSL scalable tape libraries, users have a solution that provides Ethernet connected LTO tape for open-compute, cloud-based and hyperscale environments.

ATTO XstreamCORE ET 8200 allows HPE StoreEver MSL tape library users:

• Lower cost than using native Ethernet tape drives
• Same performance as direct-attached SAS - no latency penalties
• Enables shared & distributed backup workflow
• Easy to use - from box to backup in less than 30 minutes
• Fewer fabric switch ports required
• Advanced monitoring and management provided by the controller
• Up to sixteen drives and media changers can directly be connected to the controller
• Easy to configure and maintain
