The ESL9198SL comes with a complete 198 slot library system configured
with the associated number of drives, installation and user’s manual,
one-piece SDLT media, and a copy of the Compaq Storage Management
Solutions CD. Customers are required to also purchase the necessary
number of host bus adapters, SCSI cables, SDLT media, country specific
power cords (pair) and applications software licenses in order to
complete the library solution.
Installation services can be ordered separately on Compaq Services as
part of each library order (requires scheduling with local Compaq
Services provider).
Note: Does not include special site work, which may be required as a
result of not meeting minimum site survey requirements. |
| What is Storage Services
Bundling? |
| The Storage Services
Bundling takes the existing storage products along with the existing
services and creates bundles of storage hardware/software and
appropriate services. The increased level of support provides for a
higher level of storage system availability for the customer. |

| Overview |
| The Ultimate in
High-Capacity Unattended Backup and Restore |
| The StorageWorks ESL9198SL
Enterprise Library by Compaq provides the ultimate in high-capacity
unattended backup and restore for customers with large server pools and
centralized backup and restore requirements, serviced by network
attached storage devices or storage area networks. The consolidation of
tape backup into a single shared storage device requires these devices
to provide both high capacity and high performance, and the need for
redundancy and high availability. With High availability features,
component level redundancy and high capacity, the ESL9198SL can provide
years of fully automated operation for backup, save and restore, and
hierarchical storage management of critical data, it is qualified with a
variety of industry-standard backup application solutions and operating
systems. With 198 slots and up to 8 Compaq Hot plug SDLT drives, the
ESL9198SL offers up to 21.78 TB of native data storage and native
transfer rates up to 316.8 GB/hr. |
| |
| The ESL9000 Enterprise
Library Family |
| StorageWorks ESL9000 family
is a series of high performance, highly reliable enterprise DLT
libraries from Compaq. The ESL9198SL enterprise library is part of this
family. With its high availability feature set, the ESL9000 family
provides for maximum uptime. Based on PCI backplane architecture, the
ESL9000 family also provides a simple upgrade path for future "plug-in"
features. |
| |
| High Availability |
| As data becomes more and
more mission critical, and downtime becomes more costly to the
enterprise, customers are requiring high availability consolidated
storage solutions which offer hot-swappable components and redundancies
of key operating sub-systems (tape drives, controllers, power supplies).
With redundant power distribution, power supplies, and cooling fans,
coupled with "hot pluggable" drive carriers, power supplies and cooling
fan modules, the ESL9198SL offers the best in high availability for
continuous operation. |
| |
| Hot Pluggable Drives
|
| The ESL9198SL uses "hot
pluggable" DLT drive carriers, allowing drives replacement and
additional DLT drives to be added for capacity expansion without
interrupting backup and restore functions. These hot pluggable drive
trays allow for easy scalability of performance, as well as provide an
easy upgrade path towards future DLT drive technologies.
Note: The ESL9198SL accepts only library ready
drives specifically modified for use in the ESL9198SL library. |
| |
| Proven Reliability |
| Using DLT tape drives, and
proven library robotics with a rating of 1,000,000 load/unload cycles,
the ESL9198SL provides the necessary high reliability. |
| |
| SDLT Technology |
| Digital Linear Tape uses a
proven linear recording technology, a highly accurate tape guide system,
and a read after write correction system to provide high-capacity, high
reliability data backup and restoration. DLT has fast become the
industry-standard secondary storage tape format for departmental and
enterprise backup. The new generation SDLT tape drive, in addition to
enhanced capacity and backup performance provides advantages several new
features such as Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR™) technology,
Pivoting Optical Servo (POS), Magneto-Resistive Cluster Heads (MRC) ,
Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) channel technology and
Backward Read Compatible with earlier generation of DLT drives, to be
able to read media written in DLT IV format . |
| |
| Manageability |
| The ESL9198SL library
configurations are fully supported through Compaq Insight Manager™,
providing information to administrators for both robotic and tape status
changes, and fault status of redundant components (high availability
fault status requires use of CIM 5.0 or later). Compaq TSMC (tape
storage management console) software provides diagnostics and easy
firmware upgrade capabilities. Other data and automation manageability
features, including multi-host direct connectivity, are provided via
specific, third party applications software packages. |
| |
| Multi-unit Scalability |
| The ESL 9198SL has the
capability for multi-unit scalability; up to 5 libraries can be scaled
together in a "virtual library" using Passthrough kit. The ESL9198SL can
be scaled with ESL9326SL or other ESL9198SL libraries. |
