HP StorageWorks 9000 Virtual Library System -
Overview & Features

Overview

The HP StorageWorks 9000 Virtual Library System can start as a 7.5 TB, one-node system and easily scale into a multi-node solution with performance and capacity of 4800 MB/sec and 1280 TB of useable storage with hardware compression. For fast data protection and backup in complex SAN environments, the VLS9000 supports the licensing of Accelerated deduplication. Accelerated deduplication delivers fast backup performance and does not impact the backup process. Low bandwidth replication enables fast, cost-effective disaster recovery. The VLS9000 seamlessly integrates into existing backup applications and processes. It is a self-managed, auto configured and monitored performance-tuned appliance that is installed through a simple interface. Offering a highly available solution, it provides reliable data protection using RAID 6 technology with a high level of hardware-integrated data availability features.

What's new

• Supports the license of deduplication-enabled low bandwidth replication between multiple remote sites.

Features & Benefits

• Easily scales in both performance and capacity: The HP StorageWorks 9000 Virtual Library System can start as a 7.5 TB, 1 node system and easily scale into a multi-node solution with performance and capacity of 4800 MB/sec and 1280 TB of useable storage with hardware compression for fast data protection and backup in complex SAN environments.
• Retains up to 50 times more data: The VLS9000 supports licensing for Accelerated deduplication. Accelerated deduplication retains up to 50 times more data readily available on disk and delivers fast backup performance.
• Fast backup performance: deduplication delivers fast backup performance as the deduplication process does not impact the backup process.
• Low bandwidth replication: The VLS9000 supports the licensing of low bandwidth replication. Low bandwidth replication provides fast, cost-effective disaster recovery capability between multiple remote sites.

• Seamless integration and manageability: The VLS9000 seamlessly integrates into your current backup applications and processes.
• Self-managed, auto performance: The VLS9000 is an automatically performance tuned appliance that is self-managed, auto-configured, auto monitored and easily installed through a simple interface.
• Accelerated deduplication licensing: The VLS9000 supports capacity licensing for Accelerated deduplication. The data deduplication capacity LTU will be licensed based on the capacity of the VLS9000 system. One license per 10 TB of capacity (T9708A) is required.

• Reduce the risk of data loss with RAID 6: The VLS9000 contains reliable hardware featuring hot-plug disk drives, standard redundant power supplies and fans as well as proven RAID 6 protection for your data.
• Highly available solution: The VLS9000 offers you a high capacity and performance solution using HP ProLiant servers with redundant subsystems, fans, power supply units, and hardware mirrored systems disks.
