Product Highlights
LTO Ultrium Technology Linear Tape-Open technology was developed by three leaders in the storage industry - HP, IBM, and Quantum - who brought together their combined expertise in tape technology to develop an entirely new format based on the best of existing technologies. Because LTO Ultrium technology was a new format, it required no cumbersome support of legacy formats, so it could be designed without compromising on reliability or performance. The LTO Program, has developed a well-defined six-generation roadmap, which has been executed right on schedule. Ultrium LTO-1 and LTO-2 tape drive technologies from HP use a linear format of 384 tracks and 512 tracks (respectively), writing eight tracks simultaneously. Ultrium LTO-3 and LTO-4 tape drive features a breakthrough in recording technology by writing sixteen tracks simultaneously on a linear format of 704 tracks and 896 tracks (respectively). The data is written in a serpentine pattern; the tape reverses direction after each set of eight tracks is written. This provides higher density recording, enabling customers to lower costs and increase efficiency by storing more data on a single tape in an industry standard format. The LTO standard for backward compatibility is to write back one generation and read back two generations; therefore: First-generation Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 230, HP Ultrium 232) read and write LTO-1 media Second-generation Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 460, HP Ultrium 448) read and write LTO-1 and LTO-2 media. Third-generation Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 920, Ultrium 960) read and write LTO-2 and LTO-3 media and also read LTO-1 media. Fourth-generation Ultrium drives (Ultrium 1760, Ultrium 1840) read and write LTO-3 and LTO-4 media and also read LTO-2 media. As part of the LTO open standard, all HP tape drives and media offer the same standards of compatibility with tape drives and media manufactured by other LTO vendors. LTO data compression (LTO-DC) is an enhanced version of Advanced Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) hardware compression. Compression is automatically turned off if the compressed data would cause an overall expansion in data size, hence optimizing the available capacity on the media. This system is used in Ultrium generation 1, 2, and 3 products. The decision about what next technology you should buy into should be based on your future, not your past, investment. Choose the Ultrium format when you need the following advantages: Maximum reliability, capacity and performance Compatibility with a broad range of operating systems and servers (e.g., a mixed system environment) A legacy-free technology that uses the best attributes from a wide range of tape technologies without any compromises for backward compatibility requirements A solid roadmap for future generations of the technology An open format available from multiple vendors Lowest media cost of any 'superdrive' tape technology

Data Rate Matching
Data Rate Matching combines sophisticated buffer management with HP's exclusive Variable Adaptive Tape Speed technology to allow the tape drive to match its transfer rate to the host speed dynamically and continuously across the wide range of transfer rates. This feature ensures that the tape drive continues to stream data regardless of the environment, and brings two big advantages: It minimizes rewinding and repositioning of the tape, reducing physical wear on drive and media, thus increasing reliability. It optimizes backup performance, and maximizes overall efficiency allowing the drive to respond immediately to any speed changes from the host. It minimizes the power requirements for the drive by reducing the number of repositions needed.

Software in the Box

The HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives include HP Data Protector Express Single Server Edition Software. This easy to use backup application, based on Data Protector Express, robustly protects a single Windows, Linux or NetWare server. Also included is the Data Protector Express Bare Metal Disaster Recovery (BMDR) option which provides automated system recovery of the server following a major hardware or software failure. The fastest method to recovery the server is to use the Data Protector Express BMDR option and the One-Button Disaster Recovery feature of the HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives. For more information about Data Protector Express Single Server Edition please visit: http://www.hp.com/go/dataprotectorexpress/sse. As well as getting the Data Protector Express Single Server Edition software as part of the HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives solution, purchasers can easily and economically upgrade to the class-leading Data Protector Express backup/recovery software. This is a special part number, only available for registered users of Data Protector Express Single Server Edition, that gives a significant discount off the regular price of Data Protector Express, to recognize the value of the in-box software. For more information about upgrading Data Protector Express Single Server Edition to Data Protector Express visit: http://www.hp.com/go/dataprotectorexpress/sse/upgrade.

For more information and evaluation software please visit: http://www.hp.com/go/dataprotector.

HP One-Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR)
HP StorageWorks One-Button Disaster Recovery is an exclusive feature of HP tape drives that provides fast and simple disaster recovery on HP ProLiant servers. OBDR is a firmware-driven utility that can restore a server's operating system, software applications, and data using a single tape cartridge. Depending on the size of the data set, OBDR can provide system recovery in less than one hour, reducing the recovery window by more than 50 percent and minimizing the risks and costs associated with downtime. There's no longer a need to search for software disks and manuals or make a new set of disaster recovery disks each time the network configuration is altered or a peripheral is added. The sheer simplicity of OBDR means less human error. Backup and disaster recovery preparation, previously two separate tasks, now become one process. For more information about OBDR, visit the HP website at: http://www.hp.com/go/obdr. For a current list of servers, workstations, and software that support OBDR, check the tape backup compatibility pages on the HP website at: http://www.hp.com/go/connect.

WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) Drive and Media Support
Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store and manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies that can verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years. Ultrium 920 and Ultrium 1760 tape drives feature the ability to archive and store data in a nonrewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a combination of integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape formatting, the Ultrium 920 and Ultrium 1760 can archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure, untampered state. Since all Ultrium 920 and Ultrium 1760 tape drives include support for both rewritable and WORM media, IT organizations can now easily integrate a secure, long-term archiving solution into their current data protection strategy. As compared to other technologies that feature support for WORM storage, Ultrium 920 and Ultrium 1760 tape drives offer the advantages of: A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM data cartridges A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to prevent accidental or intentional overwriting of data High-capacity, low-cost HP WORM media that can store up to 1.6 TB of data on a single data cartridge Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most comprehensive and mainstream support in the industry The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all third-generation Ultrium products NOTE: While all HP Ultrium 920, Ultrium 960, Ultrium 1760 and Ultrium 1840 tape drives support LTO Ultrium WORM media, some third-generation LTO Ultrium tape drives from other manufacturers may not include read and write support for LTO Ultrium WORM media. For non-HP third-generation LTO Ultrium tape drives, please check the manufacturers' specifications to ensure this support is provided if you are using your WORM media. If WORM support is not provided, the drive will eject the WORM tape cartridge immediately upon insertion into to the tape drive.

Compatibility
HP's extensive compatibility testing program assures that your HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drive works with leading servers, operating systems, and backup applications - and not just those sold by HP. HP Ultrium tape drives work seamlessly on many platforms, making them especially suitable if you have a mixed system environment. For the latest list of servers, workstations, operating systems, and backup software that support HP Ultrium tape drives, check the tape backup compatibility pages on our Web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/connect. SAS Installation HP StorageWorks SAS tape drives are available as internal and external models. Both models are supplied with a special split cable that allows you to connect to an internal port (if available) on the embedded SAS controller inside the server. While connection via the split cable provides the most costeffective way of connecting the tape drive to an HP ProLiant server, this will require a clear understanding of your server's current SAS configuration before installing. Some server models will allow direct connect to a spare SAS connector on the native SAS controller. Other servers which do not have a spare connector, might require you to reconfigure hard disk drive bays and in a few instances, you may also lose the use of one of the hard disk drive bays and will need to rebuild your RAID configuration. In these configurations the simple, recommended solution is connecting to an option SAS host bus adapter and optional SAS cable. For the most up-to-date information about recommended SAS HBAs and supported cabling configurations with your make and model of server, always refer to: http://www.hp.com/go/connect

Backup Software Support All HP Ultrium tape drives are qualified with HP Data Protector, HP Data Protector Express, Symantec Backup Exec, CA BrightStor ARCServe IT, Yosemite Backup, Commvault Galaxy, EMC Networker, EMC Retrospect, IBM Tivoli TSM, Novastor NovaBackup, and other backup applications NOTE: Please visit http://www.hp.com/go/connect for the latest compatibility information.

Product Highlights
LTO Ultrium Technology Linear Tape-Open technology was developed by three leaders in the storage industry - HP, IBM, and Quantum - who brought together their combined expertise in tape technology to develop an entirely new format based on the best of existing technologies. Because LTO Ultrium technology was a new format, it required no cumbersome support of legacy formats, so it could be designed without compromising on reliability or performance. The LTO Program, a consortium of the three technology provider companies, has developed a well-defined six-generation roadmap. Ultrium LTO-2 tape drive technologies from HP use a linear format of 384 tracks and 512 tracks (respectively), writing eight tracks simultaneously. Ultrium LTO-3, LTO-4 and the new LTO-5 tape drive features a breakthrough in recording technology by writing sixteen tracks simultaneously on a linear format of 704 tracks, 896 tracks and 1280 tracks (respectively). The data is written in a serpentine pattern; the tape reverses direction after each set of tracks is written. This provides higher density recording, enabling customers to lower costs and increase efficiency by storing more data on a single tape in an industry standard format. The LTO standard for backward compatibility is to write back one generation and read back two generations; therefore: First-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 230, HP Ultrium 232) read and write LTO 1 media Second-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 460, HP Ultrium 448) read and write LTO 1 and LTO 2 media. Third-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 920, Ultrium 960) read and write LTO 2 and LTO 3 media and also read LTO 1 media. Fourth-generation LTO Ultrium drives (Ultrium 1840, Ultrium 1760) read and write LTO 3 and LTO 4 media and also read LTO 2 media. Fifth-generation LTO Ultrium drives (Ultrium 3280, Ultrium 3000) read and write LTO 4 and LTO 5 media and also read LTO 3 media. As part of the LTO open standard, all HP tape drives and media offer the same standards of compatibility with tape drives and media manufactured by other LTO vendors. LTO data compression (LTO-DC) is an enhanced version of Advanced Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) hardware compression. Compression is automatically turned off if the compressed data would cause an overall expansion in data size, hence optimizing the available capacity on the media. Data compression is also turned off if data is found to be uncompressible; thus, allowing for better data scans. The system is used in all Ultrium tape drives. The decision about which tape technology you should buy next should be based on your future, not your past, investment. Choose the Ultrium format when you need the following advantages: Maximum reliability, capacity and performance Compatibility with a broad range of operating systems and servers (e.g., a mixed system environment) A legacy-free technology that uses the best attributes from a wide range of tape technologies without any compromises for backward compatibility requirements A solid roadmap for future generations of the technology An open format available from multiple vendors Lowest media cost of any 'superdrive' tape technology

Hardware Based Encryption
HP LTO-4 and 5 Ultrium tape drives support hardware-based encryption to enable greater levels of security: AES 256-bit Encryption Easy-to-enable encryption for a secure backup Helps prevent unauthorized accessed of tape media if cartridges are lost or stolen Eliminates the need to purchase and manage additional h/w No loss in performance of backup The included HP Data Protector Express Basic backup and recovery software supports LTO-4 and LTO-5 encryption and makes writing encrypted backups simple. A passphrase is entered and Data Protector Express Basic creates and manages the encryption key. For more information visit: http://www.hp.com/go/encryption

TapeAssure

HP StorageWorks TapeAssure makes managing, optimizing and archiving on the HP LTO Ultrium tape drives easier. This tool provides additional management and monitoring capabilities including: Life and health information for media and drives Information on media and drive utilization and operational performance Notifications of drive and media characteristics that fall below HP recommended standards TapeAssure health reports and alerts give you peace of mind knowing the condition of the drives, the tapes and the data on each tape. TapeAssure monitors every backup to ensure the highest standards of reliability, sends alerts when these standards are not met, and ensures that you can maintain the drives and tapes used in an archive environment to have the highest integrity. TapeAssure builds a database of drive and tape history information that you can export as.CSV (comma-separated-value) files and import into Excel or other tools to create pivot-charts, pie charts and bar charts for graphical presentation or further analysis. This data can be automatically exported on a schedule or on demand and written to a local or network drive where analysis scripts can also be run. Instructions and downloads of HP TapeAssure are available at: http://www.hp.com/go/TapeAssure
Linear Tape File System (LTFS)
HP LTFS makes tape self-describing, file-based, and easy-to-use, it also provides users with the ability to use standard file operations on tape media for accessing, managing and sharing files with an interface that behaves just like a hard disk. In addition, LTFS provides the ability to share data across platforms, as you would with a USB drive or memory stick. Simply load a tape into the drive, mount it into the file system, and it becomes visible as a disk. For more information, including user guide, downloads and compatibility, visit: http://www.hp.com/go/TapeAssure

Data Rate Matching
Data Rate Matching combines sophisticated buffer management with HP's exclusive Variable Adaptive Tape Speed technology to allow the tape drive to match its transfer rate to the host speed dynamically and continuously across the wide range of transfer rates. This feature ensures that the tape drive continues to stream data regardless of the environment, and brings two big advantages: It optimizes backup performance, regardless of the speed of the host or the network It minimizes rewinding and repositioning of the tape, reducing wear and increasing reliability
WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) Drive and Media Support
Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store and manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies that can verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years. LTO-3, 4 and 5 tape drives feature the ability to archive and store data in a non-rewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a combination of integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape formatting, LTO Ultrium drives can archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure, untampered state. Since all LTO-3, 4 and 5 tape drives include support for both rewritable and WORM media, IT organizations can now easily integrate a secure, long-term archiving solution into their current data protection strategy. As compared to other technologies that feature support for WORM storage, LTO-3, 4 and 5 offers the advantages of: A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM data cartridges A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to prevent accidental or intentional overwriting of data High-capacity, low-cost HP WORM media that can store 800GB (LTO-3), 1.6TB (LTO-4) or 3TB (LTO-5) of data on a single data cartridge Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most comprehensive and mainstream support in the industry The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all third-generation Ultrium products NOTE: While all HP LTO-3, 4 and 5 tape drives support LTO Ultrium WORM media, some thirdgeneration LTO Ultrium tape drives from other manufacturers may not include read and write support for LTO Ultrium WORM media. For non-HP LTO-3 and LTO-4 tape drives, please check the manufacturers' specifications to ensure this support is provided if you are using your WORM media. If WORM support is not provided, the drive will eject the WORM tape cartridge immediately upon insertion into to the tape drive.

HP OBDR (One-Button Disaster Recovery)
One-Button Disaster Recovery is an HP exclusive feature that provides fast and simple disaster recovery through the use of an HP tape drive. OBDR is a firmware-driven utility that can restore a server's operating system, software applications, and data using a single tape cartridge. Depending on the size of the data set, OBDR can provide system recovery in less than one hour, reducing the recovery window by more than 50 percent and minimizing the risks and costs associated with downtime. There's no longer a need to search for software disks and manuals or make a new set of disaster recovery disks each time the network configuration is altered or a peripheral is added. The sheer simplicity of OBDR means less human error. Backup and disaster recovery preparation, previously two separate tasks, now become one process. For more information about OBDR, visit the HP website at: http://www.hp.com/go/obdr. For a current list of servers, workstations, and software that support OBDR, check the tape backup compatibility pages on the HP website at: http://www.hp.com/storage/SPOCK.
