HPE StoreEver
Air-Gapped Tape Storage for Secure Long-Term Data Protection
As data volumes continue to grow and regulations require longer retention periods, organizations need a storage solution that is cost-efficient, secure, and built for long-term preservation. Disk-based storage alone is often too expensive and vulnerable for decades-long retention, especially in the face of rising cyber threats.
HPE StoreEver delivers reliable, tape-based storage designed for backup, archive, and large-scale data protection. Backed by decades of tape innovation, HPE StoreEver enables organizations to preserve data securely for decades, reduce long-term storage costs, protect critical data from ransomware, and meet compliance and regulatory requirements. It remains a trusted foundation for organizations that prioritize data integrity, longevity, and offline security.
