Product Highlights

DDS Technology

Since its introduction in 1989, Digital Data Storage (DDS) has become the single highest volume tape technology for the PC server market. Of the 2.5 million backup tape drives shipped in 2001, Gartner Dataquest estimates that approximately half were DDS drives. With the introduction of the fifth generation of the format, a format development in which Sony was not involved, Hewlett-Packard and other members of the DDS manufacturer's group have now adopted the nomenclature and naming style DAT xxx, where xxx refers to the compressed capacity of the format. Hence the fifth generation format is known as DAT 72, as it is a DAT-format drive holding 72 GB of compressed data. DDS/DAT is a helical scan format where data is written diagonally across the width of the tape. The advantage is that, by allowing subsequent tracks to have different writing angles and to overlap, a much greater capacity can be achieved for a given length of tape because no guard bands are necessary. DDS uses built-in hardware data compression using the 'DCLZ' compression algorithm. Data compression is host-selectable with the default that compression is turned on. The DDS format also allows for fast location of tracks and data. To achieve this, the rotating drum is tilted at a slight angle (6) from the vertical. The drum has four heads (two write heads and two read heads), located at 90 intervals. For each rotation of the drum, two tracks are written. The read heads verify the data that has been written (recorded) and the drive rewrites if necessary. The straightness with which the track is written to tape is referred to as the linearity of the track and is critical in ensuring the data is always recoverable.

The worldwide Annual Failure Rate (AFR) across all DDS/DAT manufacturers is around 2.2% -- quite an

achievement for a low-cost tape drive. HP's ongoing reliability improvements continue to make a solid technology like DDS/DAT even better. HP has been involved in the design and development of DDS/DAT drives since the beginning and applies these many years of experience to its current line of DDS/DAT products. All HP DDS/DAT drives benefit from an automatic head cleaning "sweeper" that can be used during the write or read recovery procedure to dislodge debris from the tape path and recording heads and drive. Not only does an investment in DDS/DAT technology provide the security of a format with a history of outstanding reliability. The legacy of backward compatibility ensures the possibility of future expansion, without compromising your investment in the technology. DDS/DAT technology provides the capacity and performance needed in a tape backup solution for workstations and entry-level network servers.

Easy Installation

The DAT 72x10 Tape Autoloader ships as a rack-ready unit. A separate rack kit must be purchased to allow installation in a variety of HP racks which include the 10000 series, 9000 series, 5000 series and System/E racks. If you choose to use the unit on a tabletop or desk, HP recommends the purchase of the 1U Rack-toTabletop conversion kit which has a maximum load of 33 pounds (15 kilograms) and fully encloses the unit.

Software in the Box

The DAT 72x10 Tape Autoloader includes HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express, Single Server Edition for Windows/Linux/NetWare. This application allows you to securely back up, and if necessary recover, a single Windows/Linux/NetWare machine to/from your HP StorageWorks tape drive or tape autoloader. NOTE: HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express, Single Server Edition and HP OpenView Storage Data Protector, Single Server Edition are NOT compatible. Tape cartridges should NOT be shared between autoloaders and libraries running Data Protector and Data Protector Express.
Backwards Compatibility HP DAT tape drives are backwards read and write compatible with the two previous DDS generations of tape media. Thus, the DAT 72x10 Tape Autoloader will read and write onto DDS-3 and DDS-4 data cartridges.

HP One-Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR)
With HP One-Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR), you can quickly, reliably and simply restore your entire HP ProLiant server just by inserting the most recent backup tape and pushing one button on the tape drive. Your HP StorageWorks DAT 72x10 Tape Autoloader 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. NOTES: HP One-Button Disaster Recovery is a standard feature on all HP StorageWorks DAT Autoloaders. However, it can only be used with HP ProLiant servers and specific configurations, and will only recover the server to which the autoloader is directly connected. HP OBDR does not work with HP-UX and other non-Intel UNIX operating systems. To check whether your system (hardware, operating and backup software) is OBDR-compatible, please refer to our tape compatibility web site: http://www.hp.com/go/connect.

HP StorageWorks Library The DAT autoloader family is supported on HP's industry-leading diagnostic tool -- HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT). L&TT is a single, convenient program that's a snap to install and simple to and Tape Tools (L&TT) operate. L&TT's intuitive user interface eliminates the need for training and deploys in less than five minutes. This robust diagnostic tool is designed for both the experienced professional and the untrained administrator. It ensures product integrity through self-diagnostics and fast resolution to device concerns. Additional information on L&TT, plus download information can be found at http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools.

HP Storage Media

HP recommends that you use HP-branded cartridges in the DAT 72x10 Tape Autoloader to assure the highest level of protection for your valuable data. The test program for HP media is the most thorough and comprehensive in the industry. All HP cartridges must satisfy an exhaustive battery of additional tests that relate directly to real life situations, where real data and real businesses are at stake. The benefit of the HP brand specification for media is consistent quality. Through the testing of thousands of HP drives and HP cartridges, the ideal formulation for backup performance is defined and then continuously monitored. This hugely resourceintensive process is unique to HP and affords deep insight into the HP+HP backup solution for a wide range of environments and duty cycles. Your best choice for ease of support and maximum dependability is to use HP-branded Ultrium cartridges at all times.
