HP data protection

HP SAN Solutions

HP data protection technologies

HP provides leading data protection technologies in an extensive range of products that includes D2D backup systems, NAS solutions, tape drives, autoloaders and libraries. HP's choice in data protection encourages a comprehensive D2D2T approach for backup and offsite storage of media.
Tip: To get the benefits of a D2D2T system, consider combining an HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System with an HP StorageWorks Ultrium Tape Drive.

HP StorageWorks D2D Backup Systems

HP StorageWorks D2D systems provide disk-based backup with low bandwidth replication for cost-effective data protection of environments with multiple servers. HP StorageWorks D2D systems include:
A total raw capacity of 2 to 12 TB (expandable to 24 TB) and up to 540 GB/hr data transfer rate
Dynamic data deduplication at the block level, not just file level, for increased storage capacity
Emulation of up to 24 tape devices, and up to 3,456 virtual tape cartridges
Extensive, powerful web-based management facility and automation tools for unattended backups
Support for 1 U and 2U form factor devices; support for iSCSI or Fibre Channel interfaces

HP NAS storage solutions

HP NAS systems provide consolidated, unified storage with file and print services. HP NAS storage solutions include:
Multiprotocol optimized file serving that supports SMB/CIFS (Windows), NFS, HTTP, FTP and WebDAV
Single Instance Storage (SIS), which recovers up to 35 percent of disk capacity by reducing the number of redundant files
Remote management with Integrated Lights-Out 2
Ability to back up to disk, tape or other removable media with Data Protector Express Software
Schedule data replication using HP Storage Mirroring Software

HP StorageWorks RDX Disk Backup System

The HP StorageWorks RDX Disk Backup System is perfect for small businesses with little or no IT support. This affordable, rugged backup solution supports individual servers and work stations. The HP RDX includes:
Capacities of 160, 320 and 500 GB (raw) per disk cartridge; up to 1 TB compressed
Plug and Play installation—just connect the RDX system to a USB port or plug it in to a server rack
Management software that enables drag-and-drop backup scheduling

HP StorageWorks Ultrium Tape Drives

HP StorageWorks Ultrium Tape Drives are HP's premier family of tape backup devices based on the LTO Ultrium open standard format. An HP Ultrium tape drive offers:
An ultra-durable soft-load feature that automatically positions the data cartridge
A leader-capture mechanism that virtually eliminates lost leaders to increase the success of your backup and restore operations
HP One-Button Disaster Recovery for the easiest way to restore data in the event of a disaster
Data rate matching that allows the tape drive to continuously adjust its transfer rate to the speed of its host, which reduces the need to rewind the tape back and forth to wait for the host
Support for a broad range of operating systems, backup software and servers
Capacity (compressed) Transfer rate
Ultrium LTO-4 800/1600 GB
576 GB/hr
Ultrium LTO-3 400/800 GB
576 GB/hr
Ultrium LTO-2 200/400 GB

HP StorageWorks MSL Series Tape Libraries

A high compressed capacity of up to 153.6 TB in a 2U or 8U form factor
Extensive, powerful web-based management facility
Up to Ultrium LTO-4 1840 SCSI tape drives with up to 96 cartridge slots
