HP StorageWorks Rack-Mount Kits

HP StorageWorks Rack-Mount KitsThe HP StorageWorks Rack-Mount Kits provide a high density, rack-mountable tape drive solution for both direct-attach SCSI, USB, or SAS backup and archiving applications.

The HP StorageWorks 1U Rack-Mount Kit supports DAT and Ultrium internal tape drives, and RDX internal removable disk drives. The 1U rack-mount kit is available in SCSI, SAS and USB interfaces.

With two Ultrium 1760 drives, the 1U SAS enclosure can provide a maximum compressed capacity of 3.2 TB with a data transfer rate up to 1152 GB/hr.

The HP StorageWorks 3U Rack-Mount Kit holds up two full-height internal tape drives, four half-height internal tape drives, or a combination of one full-height and two half tape drives. It is available in both SCSI and SAS interfaces. With four Ultrium 1760 SAS drives, this enclosure solution can provide a maximum compressed capacity of 6.4 TB.

1U USB Rack-Mount Kit support for RDX 160 and 320 internal removable disk backup systems

1U and 3U SCSI Rack-Mount Kit support for LTO-4 Ultrium 1760 SCSI internal tape drives

  High density: The HP Rack-Mount Kits are ideal for customers who have limited space in their rack as it allows for a smaller footprint leaving valuable space for other key components in the datacenter.
Scalability: The 1U rack enclosure can hold one single drive. One additional drive can be added when needed.
The 3U rack enclosure can hold two full height drives, four half-height drives, or one full and two half-height drives.
Ability to mix technologies: The 1U and 3U Rack-Mount Kits allow users to mix a variety of tape technologies, including DAT, Ultrium, DLT VS, and SDLT, as well as RDX removable disk technology.
Supports standard internal tape drives: The enclosures support standard internal drives. No extra module is needed.
RoHS compliant: The Rack-Mount Kits are all RoHS compliant (meets 2006 European legislation for removal of hazardous substances).
SCSI Interface: SCSI versions of the 1U and 3U Rack-Mount Kit allow customers to connect SCSI tape drives to high-density servers where rack space is a premium.
SAS Interface: SAS versions of the 1U and 3U Rack-Mount Kit allow customers to rack-mount SAS-based tape drives providing an alternative to internal models in racked environments.
USB interface: The 1U USB Rack-Mount Kit is an industry first for enclosures; this solution will allow customers alternative methods to connecting HP USB tape drives to servers, in addition to internal and table top models.
Factory Integration: Rack-Mount Kits can be factory integrated into HP racks with ProLiant Servers.

The HP StorageWorks Rack-Mount Kits provide a high-density, rack-mountable tape drive enclosure for direct-attach SCSI, USB, and SAS backup and archiving applications. Because these enclosures use standard internal tape drives, they provide a cost-effective means of mounting tape drives in rack server environments. These enclosures provide customers with scalability, allowing the customer to add drives and migrate to new tape technologies as their capacity and performance needs grow. HP StorageWorks Rack-Mount Kits are supported by ProLiant, HP Integrity, and AlphaServer platforms.
