SymplyPRO XTL 40 – LTO-7 Fibre Channel

The SymplyPRO XTL 40 – LTO-7 Fibre Channel combines a 40-slot 3U base library with one half-height LTO-7 drive and native 8Gb Fibre Channel connectivity. It is designed for environments that need a scalable automated tape platform without committing to the larger 6U XTL 80 chassis.

Each LTO-7 cartridge provides 6TB native / 15TB compressed capacity and the half-height drive delivers up to 300MB/s native throughput. A fully populated base module therefore provides up to 240TB native / 600TB compressed media capacity.

Native 8Gb Fibre Channel

This exact configuration uses an 8Gb Fibre Channel LTO-7 drive for integration with compatible Fibre Channel hosts and SAN environments. The drive and library robotics are exposed as separate LUNs and require a host adapter or initiator with multiple-LUN discovery enabled.

Scale From 40 To 640 Cartridges

The XTL 40 can attach up to 15 expansion modules. Each 3U module adds 40 cartridge slots and supports up to three half-height drives or one full-height drive, giving the complete library up to 640 cartridges, 48 half-height drives or 16 full-height drives.

Automated Media Operations

Two removable magazines per module, five import/export mail slots, integrated barcode reading and a 4-inch front display simplify bulk media handling and local operation. Secure browser management supports status monitoring, media movement, diagnostics, inventory/health reporting and firmware administration.

Connectivity And Future Expansion

The XTL 40 platform supports native SAS and Fibre Channel drives as well as optional Ethernet and Thunderbolt interface modules. This Fibre Channel product is supplied as the native FC configuration.

Security, Reliability And Serviceability

AES-256 hardware encryption, LTO WORM and LTFS support enable secure long-term retention. The robotic mechanism is rated at 2,000,000 MSBF picks, the base library uses a single PSU as standard with redundant power optional, and rack slides are included.
