HP StorageWorks ESL9000 Series Tape Libraries HP StorageWorks ESL Libraries coupled with the HP StorageWorks Extended Tape Library Architecture saves time and decreases costs through best-in-class library management, ease-of-use, reliability, and advanced features. Overview The HP StorageWorks ESL9000 Series Tape Libraries provide a highly reliable backup and restore solution for mission critical data storage requirements of high-end enterprise customers. The ESL9000 Series Tape Libraries provide component level redundancy, high availability, and enterprise level capacity in a compact footprint for direct SCSI and SAN environments. The ESL9000 Series Tape Libraries provide years of fully automated operation for backup, save and restore, of critical data when coupled with a variety of qualified industry standard backup application solutions. With the Ultrium 460 drives, ESL Libraries offer up to 119 TB of native capacity. The HP StorageWorks Interface Manager and Command View for ESL tape libraries is the next step is HP`s Extended Tape Library Architecture, itself a key component of ENSAextended and HP`s Adaptive Infrastructure strategy. This architecture delivers tape libraries that are self-aware -- self-managed, automatically maintained, continuously available -- and network-aware -- resilient, secure, and adaptable. HP`s high-end tape libraries provide the reliability, interoperability, and advanced functionality required for your enterprise SAN environment. What`s new - HP StorageWorks Interface Manager and Command View ESL -- the next step in HP StorageWorks Extended Tape Library Architecture will save time and decrease costs through best-in-class library management, ease-of-use, reliability, and advanced features.
- HP StorageWorks ESL9000 Series Tape Libraries now include a 60 day license of HP OpenView Storage Media Operations software. HP OpenView Storage Media Operations provides tracking and management of offline storage media, such as magnetic tapes, resulting in more reliable backups, faster data recovery, improved staff efficiency, and reduced costs.
