ESL9326DX
Enterprise Library
The
StorageWorks™ ESL9326DX Enterprise Library by Compaq comes equipped
with 326 media slots and up to 16 Compaq DLT 40/80GB tape drives (number
of drives determined by SKU chosen).
The ESL9326DX
comes with a complete 326 slot library system configured with the
associated number of drives, two country specific power cords,
installation and user’s manual, one-piece DLT IV media, one DLT cleaning
tape, and a copy of the Compaq Storage Management Solutions CD.
Customers are required to also purchase the necessary number of host bus
adapters, SCSI cables, DLT media, 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.
Installation
services can be ordered separately on Compaq Services as part of each
library order (requires scheduling with local Compaq Services provider).
Note: Does not
include special site work, which may be required as a result of not
meeting minimum site survey requirements.
What is
Storage Services Bundling?
The Storage
Services Bundling takes the existing storage products along with the
existing services and creates bundles of storage hardware/software and
appropriate services. The increased level of support provides for a
higher level of storage system availability for the customer.
Overview
The Ultimate
in High-Capacity Unattended Backup and Restore
The
StorageWorks ESL9326DX Enterprise 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 ESL9326DX 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 326 slots and up to
16 Compaq 40/80 DLT drives, the ESL9326DX offers up to 13.04 TB of
native data storage and native transfer rates up to 345.6 GB/hr.
The ESL9000
Enterprise Library Family
The ESL9326DX
enterprise library is part of the Compaq ESL9000 class enterprise DLT
library family. 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 ESL9326DX offers the best in high availability for
continuous operation.
Hot
Pluggable Drives
The ESL9326DX
uses "hot pluggable" DLT drive carriers, allowing drives replacement and
additional DLT 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 DLT drive technologies.
Note: The ESL9326DX accepts
only library ready drives specifically modified for use in the ESL9326DX
library.
Proven
Reliability
Using DLT tape
drives, and proven library robotics with a rating of 1,000,000
load/unload cycles, the ESL9326DX provides the necessary high
reliability.
Proven DLT
Technology
Digital Linear
Tape uses a proven linear recording technology, a highly accurate tape
guide system, and a read after write LZ 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 Compaq 40/80 DLT drives used in
the ESL9326DX can read previous versions of DLT cartridges (DLT tape IV,
DLT tape IIIxt and DLT tape III).
Manageability
The ESL9326DX
library configurations are fully supported through Compaq 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 4.90 or later). Compaq
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.
Multi-unit
Scalability
The ESL9326DX
has the capability for multi-unit scalability, up to 5 libraries can be
scaled together in a "virtual library" using Passthrough kit to provide
a maximum of 80 drives and 1630 cartridges*
*Current software
limitations restrict support to 32 drives.
