<b>Flexible Entry System with Ample Scalability</b>
The ETERNUS LT40 S2 combines exceptional storage density and up to 72 TB of compressed capacity in a compact 2U form factor, giving room for unpredictable data growth. The system comes with standardized LTO technology providing high speed and low media costs. The ETERNUS LT40 offers high flexibility as it has up to two drives for redundancy and partitioning. ETERNUS LT40 can be split into two “virtual libraries” serving different application environments in parallel. This provides maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The slot upgrade option gives customers a start of 12 slots and upgrades to 24 slots.
