Compaq StorageWorks Backup Sizing Tool

Compaq developed a sizing tool that:

Allows easy input of the many variables that affect backup performance.

Calculates the number of tapes and libraries necessary to allow Lights Out operations.

Speeds calculations to ensure that backup windows are not exceeded.

The tool allows selection of server configurations that can be replicated or modified to represent

enterprise zones. Detailed calculations and equipment required are presented, showing

quantities and part numbers necessary to deploy the Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Backup

Solution. The Compaq StorageWorks EBS Sizer Tool is available at:

http://www.compaq.com/products/storageworks/ebs/ebstoolsbackupsizing.html.

The Parameters view collects information about the tape management implementation. First

choose the operating system your solution will support, then add a server to be supported in the

solution. After completing the interview session for that server, the Parameters view displays

again. At this time, you can choose to copy, edit, or delete that server. You can also add another

server.
