The rise of the unexpected hero
HPE StoreEver. Not obsolete. Just overlooked.
For years, tape has been seen as the underdog in the backup world. But in a future where data volumes are exploding and ransomware lurks in every shadow, it’s clear that physical, offline storage is more relevant than ever. Make sure you don’t overlook the opportunity. HPE StoreEver delivers reliable backup, affordable scaling and air-gap protection in a world where being connected can be a liability.
Air-gap protection
Physically isolated from the network — last line of defence when ransomware strikes.
Ultra-low TCO
Store massive data for a fraction of the cost of cloud or disk, with no retrieval fees.
30-Year longevity
Once written, data stays safe — with media designed to last three decades.
Scalable architecture
Modular systems that grow as data does — from TBs to multi-PB environments.
A gap in the market.
An opportunity for you.

Ransomware Defense
Built to vanish when the threat appears.
HPE StoreEver LTO is inherently offline — when a cartridge is ejected, it’s untouchable. Even if credentials are compromised, data stays out of reach, physically air-gapped from attack.
Active Archiving
Smart, silent, always accessible.
Active Archiving uses intelligent automation to move and retrieve data across storage layers — tape, disk, cloud — all unified under a single view. Ideal for tiered environments where performance and cost-efficiency must coexist.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
