It delivers high-capacity,low-cost storage that’s portable for off-site protection, supports easy interchange and long-term retention. Following the 3-2-1-1rule—three copies, two media types, one off-site and one offline—adds an affordable cyber-resilience layer for organizations of any size. Forgovernance and security, all models support LTO WORM media (non-erasable, non-rewritable) and AES-256 hardware encryption to enforceretention policies and protect data at rest.

Built on proven architecture, ready for your stack. The SymplyPRO XTL 40 brings that advantage into a compact, 3U, 40-slot library designedfor easy integration and everyday reliability. Choose the host connectivity that fits your infrastructure, 12 Gb SAS, 8/32 Gb Fibre Channel,10 GbE iSCSI, or Thunderbolt™ 3, and slot it straight into existing backup and archive workflows. A clear front-panel interface speeds localsetup, while secure, browser-based remote management lets you monitor status, update firmware, movemedia, run diagnostics and exportreports from anywhere.

Modular by design, without licensing traps. Start small and scale as you grow: the XTL 40 expands to 640 slots in a standard 48U rack simplyby adding modules—no special alignment rigs, and no capacity-on-demand or partitioning licenses to unlock what you already own. Each 3Umodule supports up to three half-height drives or one full-height drive, so performance can grow alongside capacity. Configure withLTO-7/8/9 (half-height) or LTO-9/10 (full-height), and choose single or redundant PSU options to match your availability requirements.

Engineered for operations — removable magazines make bulk import/export fast and safe; easy serviceability of power supplies, tape drives,controllers, and robot. Front-to-back airflow fits hot-aisle/cold-aisle layouts. Encryption and LTO WORM media support help enforce retentionand governance policies. With field-proven mechanics, remote updates for both library and drives, and industry-leading support and a 3-yearwarranty as standard. SymplyPRO XTL 40 delivers a library that is as straightforward to run as it is powerful to scale.
