MagStor has launched an online configurator for its M3000e enterprise tape library, allowing users to estimate bill of materials, power requirements, and 5-year TCO for storage systems ranging from 40 to 640 slots. The tool is designed to assist M&E teams in planning petabyte-scale archive storage without requiring direct sales interaction.
This self-service tool addresses the growing need for transparent pricing in high-capacity archive tiers as M&E teams manage expanding video libraries. By providing immediate TCO comparisons against cloud and disk, MagStor positions tape as a cost-effective, low-power alternative for long-term asset preservation. Within the broader streaming ecosystem, this shift toward automated procurement reflects a move away from traditional high-touch enterprise sales cycles for infrastructure. Watch for whether competitors in the LTO space release similar public-facing pricing tools to capture budget-conscious IT planners.
