|
| Product Highlights |
| High-Capacity Small Form Factor Backup and
Restore |
| Because of the small form factor, the AIT
50GB tape drives give Compaq the ability to meet a customer’s need for high capacity
and high performance in a small space. This is becoming more and more critical as the
footprint of the servers becomes compressed while the internal storage continues to grow. |
|
| High Availability Features |
| The TA1000 AIT Tape Array offers a
one-terabyte backup solution in a 3U rack mount configuration. The TA1000 is a
self-contained tape array with 5 or 10 AIT 50GB tape drives each in its own hot plug
carrier. This product also features a dual redundant power supplies and redundant fans. |
|
Hot Pluggable
Hot Pluggable technology is used for drives, power supplies and fans. Hot Pluggable
components can be replaced without powering down the storage system. This feature
significantly enhances storage system availability. |
|
| Availability and Serviceability |
| Storage system units accommodate redundant
cooling fans and power supplies. All customer removable modules and units are designed for
easy removal to ensure better serviceability. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Memory-In-Cassette (MIC) |
| AIT technology features Memory-In-Cassette
(MIC), a 64-Kb memory chip built into the data cartridge 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. |
|
| Form Factor |
| TA1000 is only available in a rack-mountable
self-contained enclosure (3U height) supporting 10 hot pluggable AIT drives. Because of
the small form factor and its modular design, Compaq customers can combine multiple
enclosures for higher capacity and higher performance. |
|
| Manageability |
| Supported through Compaq Insight Manager,
alerting the administrator when tape status changes or when rewrite/reread thresholds are
exceeded. |
|
| LED Indicators |
| Front and rear panel LEDs are precisely
located for easy assessment of overall system status and device failures. |
|
| Compatibility and Integration Testing |
| Compaq’s TA1000 uses in-house
technology, which ensures the customer of full compatibility with Compaq ProLiant Servers
and controllers. Compaq thoroughly tests products with leading software and operating
systems, including VERITAS Backup Exec and CA ARCserve. |
