SymplyPRO XTL: Compact and Scalable 2U LTO Tape Library
In an era of exponential data growth, securing your digital assets with a reliable, cost-effective, and long-term solution is paramount. The SymplyPRO XTL 24-slot tape library is engineered to meet this challenge head-on, delivering enterprise-class automated backup and archiving in a dense 2U rackmount chassis. It provides the perfect entry point into professional tape automation for small to medium-sized businesses, production facilities, and corporate data centers looking to protect their critical information.
Built on the proven foundation of LTO tape technology, the SymplyPRO XTL leverages the industry's most trusted format for data integrity and longevity. Tape remains the undisputed leader for its low cost per terabyte, 30-year media lifespan, and inherent air-gapped security, making it a formidable defense against ransomware and other cyber threats.

With a comprehensive range of connectivity options including SAS, Fibre Channel (like the 8Gb FC in this model), Ethernet, and even Thunderbolt, it slots into virtually any existing infrastructure. Administration is simplified through an intuitive front-panel touchscreen and a secure, web-based remote management interface, allowing you to monitor status, perform diagnostics, and manage media from anywhere in the world.

Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
