Compaq 12/24-GB DAT Drive

 

For reliable, speedy protection of up to 24 GB of storage capacity, Compaq DAT drives provide an affordable backup solution. And with the Compaq DAT Autoloader, you can have weeks or even months of unattended backup.

As backup windows get smaller and server primary storage gets larger, the demand for high performance and capacity increases as well. The 12/24 GB DAT Drive provides higher reliability with an upward migration path to higher capacity, performance and greater reliability for current DDS-1 and DDS-2 customer base. In addition to DDS-3 (125 meter) media, the Compaq 12/24 GB DAT drive is also completely read and write compatible with DDS format (60 meter and 90 meter) and DDS-2 format (120 meter) media. A new time tracking feature enhances the ability to interchange data with out-of-specification DAT drives which allows Compaq to grow the after market business of tape options in the DAT market place.

The 12/24 GB DAT Drive is twice as fast with over three times the capacity of the 4/8 GB DAT Drive. The most demanding users on an enterprise network now have a solution that matches their growing backup demands.

Another added feature incorporated into the 12/24 GB DAT Drive is the automatic head cleaning sweeper mechanism which allows the drive to automatically dislodge debris from the drum during a read-write recovery procedure.

Product Highlights
Improved Reliability
New advancements in tape technology have produced a tape drive, which requires less cleaning and provides improved backup/restore operations.
 
Automated Head Cleaning
Some of the improvements include an automatic rotating 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.
 
Performance
This version of the industry standard DDS-3 DAT drive provides up to 8/4 GB/hr data transfer rate
 
Industry-Standard DDS-3
DDS-3 format has a drum rotation speed of 4251 rpm while the tape moves at 11.6 mm/sec. Features of the format and implementation of it allow a linear bit density, which is double that of DDS-2, achieving a greater transfer rate and capacity.
 
Compression
Built-in hardware compression
 
Operating Environment Support
Windows NT/2000, NetWare v5.x, Tru64 Unix v4.0x and v5.1, OpenVMS v7.1-2 and v7.2-1, Linux Red Hat v6.2 and v7.0, SCO Open Server 5.0x
 
Disaster Recovery - DRTape
The 12/24-GB DAT tape drive has been improved with the added feature of DRTape. DRTape insures that in case of a system failure, you will be able to restore your system from a single tape.

What is Disaster Recovery: A 12/24-GB DAT Tape Drive that can:

  • Under Disaster Recovery (DR) situations, ID itself as a boot device
  • Hold enough information to bring the system up for a DR restore from tape

Is completely self-contained in that it needs no other software or CD’s to restore the system.

 
Manageability
Supported through Compaq Insight Manager, alerting the administrator when tape status changes or when rewrite/reread thresholds are exceeded.

Compaq is now offering TSMC – Tape Storage Management Console with every tape drive. This utility allows customers to monitor their tape drives for pre-failure analysis and allows customers to upgrade their tape drive firmware when necessary.

 
Compatibility and Integration Testing
Compaq’s 12/24-GB DAT tape drives are fully supported and compatible with Compaq Servers and controllers. Compaq thoroughly tests products with leading software and operating systems, including VERITAS Backup Exec, CA ARCserve and Dantz Retrospect.
