HPE Q2013A Ultrium 6 RW Bar Code Label Pack - barcode labels

The HPE Q2013A is a professional-grade bar code label pack designed specifically for organizing LTO-6 Ultrium tape media within automated library environments. This product addresses the critical need for reliable, scannable, and unique identification of data and cleaning cartridges, eliminating the errors and inefficiencies associated with manual or in-house label printing. For IT managers overseeing data centers and archival operations, these labels ensure that tape library robotics can accurately identify and manage media, which is fundamental to the success of automated backup and restore operations. The pack provides a simple, out-of-the-box solution to a crucial, yet often overlooked, aspect of data management infrastructure. These pre-printed labels are manufactured to exacting standards to guarantee performance under the demanding conditions of robotic tape libraries. Each pack contains a unique, consecutively numbered sequence of bar codes, with no two packs ever being identical, a crucial feature for preventing data integrity issues in large-scale archives. The set includes 100 labels for LTO-6 rewritable (RW) data cartridges and 10 labels specifically for cleaning cartridges. By providing a fully tested and verified labeling solution, the Q2013A pack helps ensure that backups are never disrupted by poor quality or non-functional bar codes, directly contributing to operational stability. Deploying the HPE Q2013A labels is a straightforward process of applying them to the appropriate tape cartridges before they are introduced into a tape library system, such as the HPE StoreEver MSL series. Their primary function is to enable the library's barcode reader to quickly and accurately catalog its inventory, facilitating faster media access and reducing the risk of human error during media rotation and management. This simple accessory is an essential component for maintaining an organized and efficient data protection strategy, providing a reliable foundation for long-term data retention and archival.
