Product Highlights

High-Capacity Small Form Factor Backup and Restore

The SSL2020 is positioned to those customers needing a scalable device that will grow with their storage needs. The AIT Mini-Library is capable of automated operation for backup, restoration, and hierarchical storage management of data when coupled with a wide array of qualified industry-standard backup applications.
The SSL2020 is offered as a standalone tabletop unit or as a scalable/stackable rack mount unit, with a removable 19-cassette magazine, and integral bar code reader and either one or two Compaq AIT 50 GB drives. Add a cassette to the mailslot for a complete 20-cassette solution.

Capacity, Performance and Scalability	The SSL2020 is built on a modular concept, offering scalability and flexibility for custom configurations. Combine modules for a rackmount solution to meet specific performance and capacity requirements. The SSL2020 can be configured as a single device or a multi-module device, supporting up to five modules in a single rack configuration.

SSL2020 Mini-Library	The SSL2020 can support up to two AIT 50 GB drives, offering up to 12 MB/s of native performance. With 20 data cassettes (19-slot magazine, one mailslot), the SSL2020 offers up to two terabytes of compressed data storage capacity in a small 4U height.

Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) Technology	AIT drive employs a helical scan recording style in which data tracks are written at an angle relative to the edge of the tape. This provides higher density recording, enabling Compaq customers to lower costs and increase efficiency by storing more data on a single tape.

Qualified with HP's Data Protection Suite for Tape Utilities

Complete set of Data Protection Tools focused on simplifying the process of configuring, implementing, and maintaining a data protection strategy. Includes software applications such as Tape Storage Management Console and Insight Manager, as well as product information tools including technology White Papers, Service Advisories, and the Storage Products CD.

Memory-In-Cassette (MIC)	AIT technology features Memory-In-Cassette (MIC), a 16-Kb memory chip built into the data cassette which speeds access to your data. The MIC chip provides sophisticated data access capability that allows users to load and unload the tape at the mid-point, which helps in locating files in seconds.

Compatibility and Integration Testing	HP's SSL2020 ensures the customer of full compatibility with HP's ProLiant servers, AlphaServers and controllers. HP thoroughly tests products with leading software and operating systems, including VERITAS Backup Exec, CA ARCserve and Dantz Retrospect.
