subject: Hp Sdlt-2 Tape, A Solid Backup System For The Fast-growing Businesses [print this page] When devising a smart strategy for seamless business growth and superior performance, the key component is copying valuable corporate data and also preserving this information off-site. Operational data must be made available in-time to ensure uninterrupted business operations. On the other hand, there are a number of data legislations (SarbanesOxley Act, HIPAA etc.) that penalize the companies if their corporate data is lost.
Business enterprises from the developing countries have made the E-commerce environment extremely competitive. The smart proactive businesses (small and mid-sized) are well-prepared to take on their challenges with their intelligent SDLT backup system. SDLT (Super Digital Linear Tape) solution reduces overall ownership cost, ensures long term security and provides scalable generations for future growth.
HP Hewlett-Packard has the most compelling and high- performance range of SDLT generations. SDLT2 solution has proved its economical operational performance, simplified data management and unmatched backup speed in SMB tape industry.
HPs Q2020A is the most compact SDLT2 tape that allows fast data archiving and preserve information for up to an unmatched thirty years. It can house a tremendous 300GB raw data, which is 140GB higher than SDLT1 tape. This enhances the space efficiency and reduces the number of tapes required to manage the exploding business data.
HPs SDLT2 drive family offers the best tape system for enterprise servers and advanced IT infrastructures. Storage performance and data security have been significantly improved over the first SDLT1 generation. The drives are robustly designed for superior investment protection and trouble-free installation. The SCSI LVD Interface connects to the broadest range of IT centers. These drives are also equipped with the WORM (write once, read many) functionality and allow reliable read operations with SDLT 1 tapes. Therefore, a smooth transition path is provided to SDLT1 customers that helps meet the demand for improved storage performance.
Like the prior SDLT1 generation, the storage capacity of SDLT 2 tapes can be doubled with the advantageous data compression system. Incredible space efficiency is provided by the multiple rack mount configurations. This flexible option is available for both SDLT-2 internal & external drives. So you have to worry about infrastructure complexity and constrained data-center space. For improved air-flow over the drive components, HP has redesigned the drive infrastructure with an intelligent front panel. So the drives stream data with rock solid reliability, and the performance level does not degrade under high duty cycles. Data centers operating advanced commercial applications can efficiently meet their stiff demands with these super-fast SDLT2 drives. Their impressive 72 MB/sec speed delivers the fastest storage performance.
HP SDLT2 cartridge has been designed with an innovative and robust eMP60 media formulation. Smaller magnetic particles have resulted in a thinner base film, thus allowing longer tape reel to be easily squeezed into this small cartridge. Moreover, its strong architecture minimizes the risk of damage. So carry the tapes with confidence and reliably copy the massive sensitive data. HP enhances the performance of its tape systems with a comprehensive range of tools. This tape solution features LTT (Library and tape tools) that are very helpful in trouble-shooting, installation and further simplify data management.
