At A Glance

The Ultimate in High-Capacity Unattended Backup and Restore:
The HP StorageWorks ESL9595SL Tape Library provides the ultimate in high-capacity unattended backup and restore for customers with large server pools serviced by network attached storage devices or storage area networks. The consolidation of the enterprise's data into a single shared storage device requires that these devices provide both high capacity and high performance. With the consolidation of backup data into a single device also comes the increased need for redundancy and high availability. The ESL9595SL can provide years of fully automated operation for backup, save and restore, and hierarchical storage management of critical data when coupled with a variety of qualified industry standard backup application solutions. With 400/500/595 slots and up to 16 HP SDLT 110/220GB drives, the ESL9595SL offers up to 65.45TB of native data storage and native transfer rates up to 633.6 GB/hr.

	The ESL9595SL comes as either a 400, 500 or 595 slot library system configured with the associated number of drives, installation and user's manual, one-piece SDLT media, a copy of the HP Storage Management Solutions CD. Customers are required to also purchase the necessary number of host bus adapters, SCSI cables, SDLT media, country specific power cords (pair) and applications software licenses in order to complete the library solution. Due to the size and weight of the unit, a pre- sales site survey is required. The pre-sales site survey document is on http://www.compaq.com/support/techpubs/installation_guides/146587-001.html NOTE: This Web site is available in English only.
	Please note that the ESL9595SL is three inches wider than the ESL9326. Installation services can be ordered separately on HP Services as part of each library order (requires scheduling with local HP Services provider). NOTE: Does not include special site work, which may be required as a result of not meeting minimum site survey requirements.

The ESL9000 Enterprise Library Family	The ESL9595SL Tape Library is part of the HP ESL9000 series of tape libraries. With its high availability feature set, the ESL9000 family provides for maximum uptime. Based on PCI backplane architecture, the ESL9000 family also provides a simple upgrade path for future plug-in features.

High Availability	As data becomes more and more mission critical and downtime becomes more costly to the enterprise, customers are requiring high availability consolidated storage solutions which offer hot swappable components and redundancies of key operating sub-systems (tape drives, controllers, power supplies). With redundant power distribution, power supplies, and cooling fans, coupled with "hot pluggable" drive carriers, power supplies and cooling fan modules, the ESL9595SL offers the best in high availability for continuous operation.

Hot Pluggable Drives	The ESL9595SL uses "hot pluggable" SDLT drive carriers, allowing drives replacement and additional SDLT drives to be added for capacity expansion without interrupting backup and restore functions. These hot pluggable drive trays allow for easy scalability of performance, as well as provide an easy upgrade path towards future SDLT drive technologies. NOTE: The ESL9595SL accepts only library ready drives specifically modified for use in the ESL9000 library.

Proven Reliability	Using SDLT tape drives, and proven library robotics with a rating of 2,000,000 load/unload cycles, the ESL9595SL provides the necessary high reliability.

SDLT Technology	Digital Linear Tape uses a proven linear recording technology, a highly accurate tape guide system, and a read after write correction system to provide high-capacity, high reliability data backup and restoration. DLT has fast become the industry standard secondary storage tape format for departmental and enterprise backup. The new generation SDLT tape drive, in addition to enhanced capacity and backup performance provides advantages several new features such as Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR) technology, Pivoting Optical Servo (POS), Magneto-Resistive Cluster Heads (MRC) , Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) channel technology and Backward Read Compatible with earlier generation of DLT drives, to be able to read media written in DLT IV format.

Manageability	The ESL9595SL library configurations are fully supported through HP Insight Manager, providing information to administrators for both robotic, tape status changes, and fault status of redundant components (high availability fault status requires use of CIM 7.0. HP TSMC (Tape Storage Management Console) software provides diagnostics and easy firmware upgrade capabilities. Other data and automation manageability features, including multi-host direct connectivity, are provided via specific third-party applications software packages.

Warranty	One-year warranty, on-site next day response. Additional warranty protection can be purchased for all ESL9595SL SDLT library products at the following URL: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/warranty.html NOTE: This Web site is available in English only.
