Overview
Tape backup is an important component in a complete data protection strategy. Tape offers long term reliability, the ability to
remove media offsite and has a low cost per GB. The HP StorageWorks SDLT Tape Drives are high-capacity, high-performance
streaming tape drives designed for use with HP ProLiant servers, HP AlphaServers, and Open SAN storage systems. These tape drives
use Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR) technology to maximize the amount of data that can be stored on a tape. HP SDLT
drives also use a clustered magnetic-resistive (MR) head technology to improve data density, use Partial Response Maximum
Likelihood (PRML) technology to provide increased performance, and have a robust tape buckling system for reliability.
The SDLT 600 is the newest tape drive in the SDLT drive family. This drive is for HP customers who use Corporate-to-Enterprise
servers and require higher performance and greater capacity than the SDLT 320 offers. The HP StorageWorks SDLT 600 GB Tape
Drive extends the advantages of an SDLT-based data protection solution by increasing capacity and performance by almost double.
Total costs of ownership are lowered by reducing the number of data cartridges required and by shrinking the backup window for
business-critical data. In addition, backward-read compatibility to existing DLT VS and SDLT-based solutions provides the highest
level of investment protection while offering a smooth transition path to new SDLT based data protection solutions. The SDLT 600
offers backward-read compatibility to the DLT VS 160 and to the SDLT 320 and SDLT 220. The HP SDLT 600 offers write once read
many (WORM) support and will use the new HP Super DLTtape II 600GB data cartridge. This media uses new eMP60 technology
with a thinner magnetic layer and smaller magnetic particle in order to provide the increased capacity and improved strength and
durability.
