The SymplyPRO XTL 24 LTO-9 Tape Library from SYMPLY is a compact, high-capacity solution for automated data backups or archives. Its 2RU form factor features a control module that can house two half-height LTO-9 tape drive magazines, each of which supports twelve LTO-9 tapes with a native capacity of 12TB and read/write speeds of up to 300 MB/s. It can take advantage of 2.5:1 compression, which allows LTO-9 tapes to store up to 30TB with data transfer speeds of up to 750 MB/s. In addition to LTO-9 tapes, the XTL 24 can read and write to LTO-8 tapes. System connectivity is established using dual 10GbE (iSCSI) SFP LC interfaces, while an Ethernet port allows for system service and management. Additional connectivity is provided by Serial via RJ11, USB-A, and a SAS output for connecting SAS tape drives. Also featured is a mail slot, which is used to import/export individual cartridges without interrupting library operations. When all 24 tape slots are filled with LTO-9 tapes, the XTL 24 supports a maximum native capacity of 432TB.
