Overview

HP StorageWorks SDLT Tape Drive Family

Tape backup is an important component in a complete data protection strategy. Tape offers long term reliability, the ability to remove media offsite and has a low cost per GB. The HP StorageWorks SDLT Tape Drives are high-capacity, high-performance streaming tape drives designed for use with HP ProLiant servers, HP AlphaServers, and Open SAN storage systems. These tape drives use Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR) technology to maximize the amount of data that can be stored on a tape. HP SDLT drives also use a clustered magnetic-resistive (MR) head technology to improve data density, use Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) technology to provide increased performance, and have a robust tape buckling system for reliability.

The SDLT 600 is the newest tape drive in the SDLT drive family. This drive is for HP customers who use Corporate-to-Enterprise servers and require higher performance and greater capacity than the SDLT 320 offers. The HP StorageWorks SDLT 600 GB Tape Drive extends the advantages of an SDLT-based data protection solution by increasing capacity and performance by almost double. Total costs of ownership are lowered by reducing the number of data cartridges required and by shrinking the backup window for business-critical data. In addition, backward-read compatibility to existing DLT VS and SDLT-based solutions provides the highest level of investment protection while offering a smooth transition path to new SDLT based data protection solutions. The SDLT 600 offers backward-read compatibility to the DLT VS 160 and to the SDLT 320 and SDLT 220. The HP SDLT 600 offers write once read many (WORM) support and will use the new HP Super DLTtape II 600GB data cartridge. This media uses new eMP60 technology with a thinner magnetic layer and smaller magnetic particle in order to provide the increased capacity and improved strength and durability.

Product Highlights
Super DLT (SDLT) TechnologySuper DLT Tape is an extension of the DLT platform. It is designed to meet the business critical demands of enterprise storage customers. The new SDLT platform extends the advantages of DLT technology by increasing capacity, performance, and reliability standards through technological advances in drive head and media design. With backward-read compatibility, the new SDLT tape drive provides customers with an easy migration path to advanced technology for their data protection strategies.
Backward-Read Compatibility

The SDLT 600 drive provides backward-read compatibility to the SDLT 320 and the DLT VS160.

SDLT 600 tape drives write to the following media:
Super DLTtape II

SDLT 600 tape drives read the following media:
Super DLTtape II, also reads DLTtape VS1 cartridges written on DLT VS160 and Super DLTtape I cartridges written on SDLT 320 and SDLT 220 drives
OBDR - One Button Disaster RecoveryWith HP One-Button Disaster Recovery, you can quickly, reliably and simply restore your entire system just by inserting the most recent backup tape and pushing one button on the tape drive. Your HP StorageWorks SDLT 600 tape drive 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.
WORM The HP StorageWorks SDLT 600 Tape Drive includes support for WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) functionality. The SDLT 600 WORM implementation is currently supported by Veritas NetBackup. As more software support is added, updated support information can be found at: http://www.hp.com/go/connect.

WORM technology provides an enhanced level of security against accidental or malicious alteration of data on tape cartridges. WORM can be important when implementing data retention policies to be compliant with regulations regarding the storage of data on non-rewritable, non-erasable media. The SDLT 600 tape drive ships with support for WORM and can be set to WORM mode using the backup application. Once the cartridge has been set up for WORM, you will be unable to erase or overwrite the data on it, although you will be able to append data until the cartridge is full. WORM media can be read as often as required. When implementing WORM an unformatted or blank Super DLTtape II 600GB data cartridge is required.

For information on how your HP StorageWorks SDLT 600 Tape Drive and WORM cartridge can help your business meet information lifecycle management (ILM) and regulatory compliance requirements, please go to http://www.hp.com/go/tape.
