| DAT 72 (Fifth Generation DDS
Tape Technology) |
Fifth generation tape drive
technology uses the helical scan format. Data is written and recorded in
groups, where each group is a logical collection of data records physically
recorded as 22 frames, each frame containing 2 tracks. The DAT 72 format is
a semi-open format and data written on any HP StorageWorks DAT 72 tape drive
may be interchanged directly with DAT 72 tape drives from other vendors. |
|
| Backwards Compatibility |
DAT 72 tape drives are fully
read and write backwards compatible with all DDS-3 and DDS-4 products from
all licensed manufacturers. |
|
| High Reliability |
HP's DDS tape technology has
proven itself during more than 12 years of use as one of the most reliable
tape technologies on the market today. DAT 72 builds on the strengths and
successes of previous generations of DDS drives. The HP StorageWorks DAT 72
tape drive has a mean time between failure (MTBF) rating of 400,000 hours at
a 12% percent duty cycle, making it an ideal choice for small and medium
businesses. |
|
| Compression |
The HP StorageWorks DAT 72
tape drive as per previous generations of DDS uses the 'DCLZ' data
compression algorithm. Data compression is host selectable with the default
that compression is turned on. |
|
| Compatibility Testing |
The HP StorageWorks DAT 72
tape drive for ProLiant is fully supported and compatible with HP ProLiant
servers, AlphaServers and host bus adapters. This tape drive is thoroughly
tested with other major brands of server, leading software and operating
systems. The compatibility matrix shown below gives a more comprehensive
listing of all hardware and software supported. |
|
| Hot Plug Capability |
The HP StorageWorks DAT 72h
hot plug tape drive is supported on all HP ProLiant and Alpha-Servers
incorporating the universal drive bay. This enables customers to insert or
remove the drive from the server without dis-assembly of the server and
enables the application to be operational 24x7. |
|
| Rackmount |
All HP DDS tape products have
variants that enable the drive to be fitted into racks.
For compatibility with ProLiant and AlphaServer systems use 3U rackmount kit
(P/N 274338-B21) and internal drive (P/N Q1525A).
For compatibility with HP UNIX systems and to be fitted into HP Tape Array
5300 (P/N C7508A) use Array Module (P/N Q1524. Order option #OD1 for Factory
fitted option). |
|
| HP DDS Storage Media |
HP's test program for HP DAT
72 media is probably the most thorough and comprehensive in the industry. HP
data cartridges must satisfy an exhaustive battery of additional tests that
relate directly to real life situations, where real data and real businesses
are at stake. Over 1 million test hours on media and drives per year ensure
that HP data cartridges will always offer maximum reliability even in the
most extreme conditions. HP recommends that customers always use HP branded
media to ensure stress free backup and complete peace of mind. |
