Introduction
The CP 3100 is available as a turnkey configuration that consists of a desktop or 1U rack-mount
solution equipped with an integrated Certance DAT 72 tape drive. Customers who already have a
DDS-4 or DAT 72 tape drive can build their own D2D2T solution by combining a 5.25-inch half-
height internal, desktop, or 1U rack-mount solution using their existing tape drive investment.
Features and Benefits
The CP 3100 supports the shift in information management from backup and restore towards long-
term retention and archival storage. Benefits of this new type of information storage architecture:
Increases performance up to 10X compared to tape drives typically used by small and
•
medium-sized businesses.
Fully emulates a DDS-4 or DAT 72 autoloader to ensure compatibility with existing backup
•
software and interchangeability of tape cartridges between the CP 3100 and a stand-alone
tape drive of the same format.
Performs policy-based migration from disk to tape for archive.
•
Incorporates dual Ultra 160 SCSI controllers to provide performance and flexibility without
•
impacting network performance during archival to tape.
Combines the features and functionality typical of high-end solutions in a form factor as small
•
as a 5.25-inch, half-height internal device.
Easily scales data-protection capacity in parallel with growing business demands.
