Product Highlights

Accelerated deduplication

The data deduplication capacity LTU will be licensed by the # of EVA LUNS presented to the VLS. The customer must know how many LUNS the VLS is using before ordering. (use Command View VLS (CV-VLS)). One license per 2 TB LUN (T9709A) is required. Accelerated deduplication retains up to 50 times more data readily available on disk by replacing redundant blocks of data with pointers to the original block. Accelerated deduplication delivers fast backup performance since the deduplication process does not impact the backup. Accelerated deduplication delivers fast restore performance since the latest backup copy is always retained in its entirety while data reduction occurs on the previous backups. The VLS12000 can scale data deduplication performance by simply adding additional nodes. Accelerated deduplication needs to recognize the specific backup application being used since it initially strips out the cartridge headers in order to decompose all the files and data types in order to do file-level comparisons to previous backups.

Investment protection through scaling both capacity and performance	As environments and needs change, so does the VLS12000 EVA Gateway - capacity and performance can be scaled by provisioning additional storage from existing EVA arrays, or a new HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System can be designed using dedicated EVA Storage Arrays.

Seamless integration

The HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway is deployed, managed and operated just like a tape library minimizing disruptions to your environment. Emulations include the HP ESL E-series and MSL tape libraries as well as 1/8 G2 tape autoloaders. The HP StorageWorks VLS12000 EVA Gateway also emulates the HP Ultrium 230 tape drive (LTO-1), HP Ultrium 460 tape drive (LTO-2), HP Ultrium 960 tape drive (LTO-3), HP Ultrium 1840 tape drive (LTO-4), DLT 7000, DLT 8000, and SDLT 320 tape drives.

Fast data restoration and backup performance

A multi-node gateway solution for the EVA that offers industry-leading performance and easily scales in performance and capacity to 4800 MB/sec and 1080 TB of useable storage, with 2:1 hardware compression without impact on performance. Accelerated deduplication (an optional license) retains up to 50 times more data readily available on disk. Accelerated deduplication delivers fast backup performance since the deduplication process does not impact the backup.

Reliability	While the HP 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway contains reliable hardware featuring hot plug disk drives, standard redundant power supplies and fans, the real reliability is for your data protection process. Simplifying the process by which storage is shared means fewer errors occur, allowing your process to run more smoothly and faster.

Low Bandwidth Replication	All sites involved with low bandwidth replication must be fully licensed for Accelerated deduplication. The number of VLS low bandwidth replication licenses, for target sites only, is determined by the number of VLS12000 nodes (AH815B). One license per node is required. Target sites are those sites that receive replicated data from one or many sites. If replicating in both directions (Active-Active) both sites need to be licensed for low bandwidth replication. This application allows these VLS systems to synchronize via low cost IP-WAN connections by only sending the changes (after data deduplication) across the wire. Low bandwidth replication provides an improved disaster recovery solution that allows customers to reduce or eliminate off site vaulting of tapes (including associated services) and reduce or eliminate media handling costs.

Automigration	The HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway supports Automigration. This service is a form of a "disk cache to tape", called "echo copy", which allows copies of data to be moved off the virtual library to a physical library or another VLS under the control of the VLS, not the backup application. Future updates will allow full integration with ISVs via SMI-S 1.3 specifications supporting what we will call "smart copy". HP Data Protector 6.1 supports smart copy. Automigration is an HP developed intellectual property and does not require licensing. SAN based Automigration is only supported on non-deduplication/replication enabled VLS systems.

Automigration - Echo Copy	Echo copy can streamline the process and reduce the costs of making physical tape cartridges from virtual tape cartridges, for vaulting and off-sitting purposes. Echo copy is run through the Automigration software (a tab on the VLS GUI), not the backup application. It acts as a transparent disk cache to the physical library, so that the backup application writes to virtual cartridges in the virtual library, and Automigration then automatically schedules the copies from virtual cartridges to their matching physical cartridges (with the same barcodes) based on the Automigration policies the user establishes. Since Echo copy is managed through the Automigration software, not the backup application, the destination library is not visible to the backup application - so no licensing is required. Copy traffic is no longer routed through the SAN which speeds up the copy process. Since the tape library is dedicated to the VLS no copy servers are required. Echo copy also eliminates the need for tape-to-tape copy administration since this is automated through copy policy management. All destination tapes created by echo copy are in the native tape format, so they can be easily restored directly from any tape drive or library that is visible to the backup application.

Automigration - Smart Copy	Smart copy provides the same capabilities with one important exception. Smart copy allows the backup ISV to initiate the copy with the VLS12000 actually implementing the move. The cartridge bar codes between the two copies are different and the backup ISV is able to track the move. SMI-S 1.3 support is required by the ISV in order to be able to implement Smart copy. HP Data Protector 6.1 supports smart copy.

HP VLS12000 Data Deduplication Capacity LTU

HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System Data Deduplication Capacity LTU

T9709A

The data deduplication capacity LTU will be licensed by the # of EVA LUNS presented to the VLS. The customer must know how many 2 TB LUNS the VLS is using before ordering. (Use Command View VLS (CV-VLS)). One license per LUN (T9709A) is required.

NOTE: In addition to the capacity deduplication licensing for VLS here are four other key considerations:

There is a REQUIREMENT for 16 GB of RAM for each ProLiant server node in order to support data deduplication and low bandwidth replication. Newer systems (AH814B, AH815B) come standard with 16 GB of RAM. For older VLS12000 systems (AH814A, AH815A) you will need to add 12 GB RAM. This involves ordering the following part numbers for each node:
397413-B21 HP 4GB FBD PC2-5300 2x2GB Kit
397415-B21 HP 8GB FBD PC2-5300 2x4GB Kit
Minimum of VLS firmware 3.1 must be used to support Accelerated deduplication. This firmware will only be available (initially) as a web download.
You will need to reference the following website for configuration, capacity and performance considerations for sizing VLS Accelerated deduplication configurations and usage models: www.hp.com/support/vls_dedup
Accelerated deduplication needs to recognize the specific backup application being used since it initially strips out the cartridge headers in order to decompose all the files and data types in order to do file-level comparisons to previous backups. Check the EBS website for the latest Accelerated deduplication supported backup ISVs and data types:
http://www.hp.com/go/ebs

NOTE: The entire VLS device (provisioned by the EVA) must be licensed for deduplication - no partial licenses supported. Deduplication licenses will be installed via the VLS GUI license plug-in.

HP VLS Low Bandwidth Replication License

HP StorageWorks Virtual Library Systems Low Bandwidth Replication LTU

T5537A

Supplied with license

One VLS license T5537A is required per VLS12000 node for target sites only - none required on source site for active-passive configurations. For active-active configurations involving bi-directional replication, each site requires a license. Multi-node VLS12000s require multiple licenses - one per node.

NOTE: In addition to the low bandwidth replication licensing for VLS here are other key considerations:

All VLS systems involved with replication (whether a source or target) must all be licensed for Accelerated deduplication. In addition they have the same HW requirements and considerations as for Accelerated deduplication (see above).
Minimum of VLS firmware level 3.2 must be used to support low bandwidth replication. This replication firmware will be included in the 3.2 release and can be activated through licensing.
Four modes of low bandwidth replication will be supported including: two-site active-passive (replication in one direction), two-site active-active (replication in both directions) many to one supporting up to four sites all replicating to a fifth site and N-way with four sites (similar to two-site active-active). Each site is a source and target.
C&I services will provide analysis, design, implementation and testing necessary to deploy a VLS solution with Accelerated deduplication and low bandwidth replication.

	**Important Note: The initial release of Data Protector 6.1 allows customers to manage VLS automigration using only a single drive in the physical tape library that is connected to a Virtual Library System. Please take this into account when deploying Data Protector / VLS solutions. For the time being, customers requiring migration of VLS backup data to tape libraries containing 2 or more drives should do so in the standard way (using the Data Protector Object Copy feature). Work is already in progress for an update release later in 2009, which will allow the automigration of VLS backup data to multiple tape drives simultaneously.

	HP 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway
Number of Virtual Libraries	1 to 16 per node, up to 128 per system
Number of Virtual Tape Drives	1 to 128 per node, up to 1024 per system
Number of Virtual Cartridges	Up to 8192 per system
	NOTE: The maximum number of virtual devices is dependent on the number of nodes, not the capacity. The maximum number of virtual cartridges is dependent on the amount of capacity (number of LUNs) with 1024 cartridges per LUN. The EVA currently supports 2 TB/LUN, therefore, maximum of 8192 cartridges would be reached with 16 TB.
