Overview
Are you frustrated with your current backup and recovery performance?
HP 9200 Virtual Library System
The new HP 9200 Virtual Library System can start as a 10 TB, one-node system and easily scale into a multi-node solution with performance and capacity of 4.4 TB/hr/node and 2560 TB of useable storage with hardware compression. For fast data protection and backup in complex SAN environments, the VLS9x00 family supports the licensing of Accelerated deduplication and deduplication-enabled replication. Accelerated deduplication delivers fast backup performance and does not impact the backup process. Deduplication-enabled replication enables fast, cost-effective disaster recovery. The VLS9x00 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
Twice the capacity and performance! The addition of 2 TB drives allows the system to increase in capacity to 2.6 PB with 2:1 compression and a new 2U High Performance node option allows up to 4.4 TB/hr per node. New storage building blocks (10 TB or 20 TB SAS based drive increments) allow for better overall matching of a customer's data needs. New 6.0 firmware provides increased robustness to the overall VLS9200 system. Available Secure Erasure licensing that allows you to permanently erase data on disk.

Key Features

Accelerated deduplication and deduplication-enabled replication can be licensed for the VLS9x00 Starting as small as a 10 TB, one-node system that easily scales to a multi-node appliance solution that offers industry-leading performance and capacity (4.4 TB/hr/node and 2560 TB of useable storage, with 2:1 hardware compression). Hardware RAID 6 reduces the risk of data loss Emulates popular HP tape libraries and tape drives with up to 16 libraries and 176 drives emulated per node (1024 drives/library, 1408 max in an 8 node system) Certified with popular backup software packages through HP Enterprise Backup Solution A highly available solution using HP ProLiant servers with redundant subsystems: fans, power supply units, hardware-mirrored systems disks and hot swap array drives Mounts in standard 19" rack; HP Factory Express integration includes sophisticated cable management to ensure an 'easier to manage' rack environment Ships with Automigration and full bandwidth replication software as part of the VLS GUI which allows the movement of cartridge data from the VLS to a tape library or another VLS (either across the SAN or over a WAN) The VLS9200 supports up to 50,000 slots per library The VLS9200 supports up to 8,000 cartridges per 10 TB LUN

Deduplication-enabled Replication
All sites involved with deduplication-enabled replication must be licensed for Accelerated deduplication. One VLS deduplication-enabled replication license per target site node is required. Target sites are those sites that receive replicated data from one or more remote sites. For target sites the total number of VLS deduplication-enabled replication licenses required is determined by the number of VLS9x00 nodes. If replicating in both directions (Active-Active) both sites need to be licensed for deduplication-enabled replication. This application allows these VLS systems to synchronize via low cost IP-WAN connections by only sending the changes (after data deduplication) across the wire. Deduplication-enabled replication provides an improved disaster recovery solution that allows customers to reduce or eliminate off site vaulting of tapes (including associated services) and reduce or eliminate media handling costs.

Automigration

The HP 9x00 Virtual Library System supports Automigration. There are two versions of Automigration. The first is in the form of a "disk cache to tape", called "echo copy", which allows copies of data to be moved off the virtual library to a physical library or another VLS under the control of the VLS, not the backup application. The second allows full integration with ISVs via SMI-S 1.3 specifications supporting what is called "smart copy". Automigration is an HP developed intellectual property and does not require licensing. HP Data Protector 6.1 supports smart copy. SAN based.
Automigration - Echo Copy
Echo copy can streamline the process and reduce the costs of making physical tape cartridges from virtual tape cartridges, for vaulting and offsiting purposes. Echo copy is run through the Automigration software (a tab on the VLS GUI), not the backup application. It acts as a transparent disk cache to the physical library, so that the backup application writes to virtual cartridges in the virtual library, and Automigration then automatically schedules the copies from virtual cartridges to their matching physical cartridges (with the same barcodes) based on the Automigration policies the user establishes. Since echo copy is managed through the Automigration software, not the backup application, the destination library is not visible to the backup application - therefore no licensing is required. Copy traffic is no longer routed through the SAN which speeds up the copy process. Since the tape library is dedicated to the VLS no copy servers are required. Echo copy also eliminates the need for tape-to-tape copy administration since this is automated through copy policy management. All destination tapes created by echo copy are in the native tape format, so they can be easily restored directly from any tape drive or library that is visible to the backup application.

HP 9200 10TB SAS Base Virtual Library System BW405A* HP 9200 20TB SAS Base Virtual Library System BW406A* NOTE: With 1U node (BW402A) you must have at least 2 shelves of storage before reaching maximum performance and with 2U High Performance node (BW848A) you must have 4 shelves of storage before reaching maximum performance. Also, adding a second 10TB or 20TB base system or a second node to this entry level configuration requires the need to use the 40 port connectivity kit (BW409A) versus the entry level kit (BV878A). To expand the system to another node you must meet the maximum performance configuration - 2 shelves (one base system and one capacity shelf) for the BW402A or 4 shelves (one base system and three capacity shelves) for BW848A. Note that you can also mix and match shelf capacities within a VLS system but not drives in a shelf. Additionally, if automigration is desired for an entry level system, a connectivity kit (BW409A) is required.

NOTE: It is mandatory to use a shock pallet in order to ship racks with equipment installed. NOTE: Due to handling and shipping requirements, the AF044A is only orderable through Factory Express; it is not for direct sales. Customer site surveys are required before an order is approved. CTO orders may require additional lead time. NOTE: The full line of VLS9200 products can be integrated and shipped installed in racks.
