HP StorageWorks DAT 72x6 Autoloader |
||
| The HP StorageWorks
DAT 72x6 autoloader is an ideal backup solution for small to medium companies
with limited IT support or remote sites of larger companies. By reducing
administrative tasks, DAT autoloaders not only simplify the backup process
but reduce the risk of error as well. An autoloader includes a single tape
drive inside an enclosure that holds six data cartridges in a removable
magazine. With the ability to store up to 72 GB per DAT 72 data cartridge,
DAT autoloaders provide a quick, efficient means for reducing workload.
The backup administrator simply loads the magazine with a week's worth of
data cartridges, and the autoloader takes care of backup for an entire week.
The backup routine can be customized via the backup application to suit
the user's needs.
HP DAT autoloaders support HP One-Button Disaster Recovery, providing the ability to restore the system quickly and effortlessly with the touch of a single button, eliminating the need for operating system and software disaster recovery CDs. Additional reliability features include HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) for troubleshooting and Tapealert for monitoring the drive and media. |

Key Features
| Features and Benefits |
|
|
| |
| DDS Technology | Since its introduction in 1989,
Digital Data Storage (DDS) has become the single highest volume tape technology
for the PC server market. Of the 2.5 million backup tape drives shipped
in 2001, Gartner Dataquest estimates that approximately half were DDS drives.
With the introduction of the fifth generation of the format, a format development
in which Sony was not involved, Hewlett-Packard and other members of the
DDS manufacturer's group have now adopted the nomenclature and naming style
DAT xxx, where xxx refers to the compressed capacity of the format. Hence
the fifth generation format is known as DAT 72, as it is a DAT-format drive
holding 72 GB of compressed data. DDS/DAT is a helical scan format where data is written diagonally across the width of the tape. The advantage is that, by allowing subsequent tracks to have different writing angles and to overlap, a much greater capacity can be achieved for a given length of tape because no guard bands are necessary. DDS uses built-in hardware data compression using the 'DCLZ' compression algorithm. Data compression is host-selectable with the default that compression is turned on. The DDS format also allows for fast location of tracks and data. To achieve this, the rotating drum is tilted at a slight angle (6°) from the vertical. The drum has four heads (two write heads and two read heads), located at 90° intervals. For each rotation of the drum, two tracks are written. The read heads verify the data that has been written (recorded) and the drive rewrites if necessary. The straightness with which the track is written to tape is referred to as the linearity of the track and is critical in ensuring the data is always recoverable. |
 |
|
| The worldwide Annual Failure Rate
(AFR) across all DDS/DAT manufacturers is around 2.2% -- quite an achievement
for a low-cost tape drive. HP's ongoing reliability improvements continue
to make a solid technology like DDS/DAT even better. HP has been involved
in the design and development of DDS/DAT drives since the beginning and
applies these many years of experience to its current line of DDS/DAT products.
All HP DDS/DAT drives benefit from an automatic head cleaning "sweeper"
that can be used during the write or read recovery procedure to dislodge
debris from the tape path and recording heads and drive. Not only does an investment in DDS/DAT technology provide the security of a format with a history of outstanding reliability. The legacy of backward compatibility ensures the possibility of future expansion, without compromising your investment in the technology. DDS/DAT technology provides the capacity and performance needed in a tape backup solution for workstations and entry-level network servers. |
|
|
|
|
| Backwards Compatibility | HP DDS tape drives are backward read-write compatible with the two previous DDS generations. Thus, the DAT 72x6 also reads and writes DDS-3 and DDS-4. |
|
|
|
| Benefits of Automation |
The HP StorageWorks DAT autoloader family makes the benefits of automation affordable for smaller organizations. This easy-to-use autoloader combines a DAT 72 tape drive with robotics and a six-slot magazine, providing capacity for a week's worth of backup plus a cleaning cartridge. Using your backup software, the autoloader can be scheduled to do daily backups and cleaning automatically, reducing the risk of human error, thus increasing the reliability of your data protection program. Eliminating the daily chore of changing the backup tape frees up your staff for other activities and reduces the total cost of ownership of your backup system. The ability to do a week's worth of backup without operator intervention makes DAT autoloaders ideal for remote sites and offices with limited IT staff. |
|
| |
| HP One-Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) | With HP One-Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR), you can quickly, reliably and simply restore your entire HP ProLiant server just by inserting the most recent backup tape and pushing one button on the tape drive. Your HP StorageWorks DAT autoloader will restore your operating system, configuration, applications, drivers and data files. There's no longer a need to search for software disks and manuals, plus with downtime reduced, the costs of recovery are minimized. There's no need to make a new set of disaster recovery disks each time the network configuration is altered or a peripheral is added. Recovering from a disaster manually at a stressful time makes for an error-prone process. The sheer simplicity of HP One-Button Disaster Recovery means less human error. Backup and disaster recovery preparation -- previously two separate tasks -- become one process. OBDR is simply the best disaster recovery product for small to medium systems. For a current list of servers, workstations, and software that support OBDR, check the tape backup compatibility pages on our Web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/connect. |

|
|
|
|
| HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) | The DAT autoloader family is supported on HP's industry-leading diagnostic tool -- HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT). L&TT is a single, convenient program that's a snap to install and simple to operate. L&TT's intuitive user interface eliminates the need for training and deploys in less than five minutes. This robust diagnostic tool is designed for both the experienced professional and the untrained administrator. It ensures product integrity through self-diagnostics and fast resolution to device concerns. Additional information on L&TT, plus download information can be found at http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools. |
| | |
| HP Media | HP's test program for HP DAT media is probably the most thorough and comprehensive in the industry. HP data cartridges must satisfy an exhaustive battery of additional tests that relate directly to real life situations, where real data and real businesses are at stake. Over 1 million test hours on media and drives per year ensure that HP data cartridges will always offer maximum reliability even in the most extreme conditions. HP recommends that customers always use HP branded media to ensure stress-free backup and complete peace of mind. |
| | |
| Rack-Mount Tape Options | DAT autoloaders are supported on the HP StorageWorks 3U Rack-Mount Kit. This kit allows up to two internal DAT autoloaders to be mounted in 3U of rack space. The standard configuration provides two internal SCSI buses (channels) supporting one autoloader per bus. For further information, please refer to the QuickSpecs for HP StorageWorks Rack-Mount Kits at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/10854_div/10854_div.html |
