Best in class reliability

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-plug components

and redundancies of key operating subsystems (tape drives and power supplies). With redundant power

distribution and power supplies the HP ESL Tape Libraries offer the best in high availability for continuous

operation. HP ESL G3 also offers 3 million MSBF (mean swaps between failure) for both single and multi-

frame solutions.

Additional reliability features are delivered by the HP LTO Ultrium tape technology with dynamic data rate

matching functionality - see below.

Hardware Data

Encryption for added

security

To greatly enhance data privacy, HP ESL G3 Tape Libraries are now available with LTO-6 Ultrium 6650,

LTO-5 Ultrium 3280, and LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 hardware encrypting tape drives for secure high

performance backups meeting consortium specifications for LTO-6, LTO-5 and LTO-4. HP Data Protector

Software can enable the drive encryption and provide basic key management capabilities. Additional

information regarding ISV's supporting hardware encryption is available on the HP Enterprise Backup

Solution website at: www.hp.com/go/ebs. The encryption on LTO-6, LTO-5 and LTO-4 media occurs with

or without compression, and without speed or capacity penalties.

LTO-6, LTO-5 and LTO-4 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with the longest and most secure

keys -- 256 bits. AES-256 is implemented within Galois Counter Mode (GCM). This is a method of increasing

AES security by efficiently adding Message Authentication Codes to ensure the integrity of the backup data

stored on tape. The HP LTO-6, LTO-5 and LTO-4 tape drive(s) are designed to be compliant with the

standard for tape drive security (IEEE 1619.1).

Encryption key management support via HP Data Protector Software and other ISV backup applications,

through HP's Enterprise Secure Key Manager (ESKM) appliance or by license to SafeNet's 'KeySecure' - a

KMIP compliant encryption key manager. Licenses to other select 3rd party KMIP compliant encryption key

management solutions will become available in the coming months.

ESKM: HPs Enterprise Secure Key Manager reduces your risk of a costly data breach and reputation

damage while improving regulatory compliance with a secure centralized encryption key management

solution for HP LTO-6, LTO-5 and LTO-4 enterprise tape libraries (EML & ESL). In addition, the ESKM

provides strong auditable security and reliable lifetime key archival. The ESKM and LTO-6/LTO-5/LTO-4

drive encryption in the ESL G3 Tape Library provides a complete and secure privacy solution to protect

customers' confidential data.

Partitioning with the

Automated Media Pool for

enhanced scalability

A physical library has limitations. A customer may have mixed backup software environments where

sharing the library becomes difficult. To manage this currently, the operator will create partitions (virtual

libraries) and have each application assigned to one or more partitions. These partitions are fixed, and

Applications mapped into one partition can't claim media and storage space from partitions not assigned

to them.

This method can be inflexible and require a good deal of management overhead to reconfigure and

support.

However, with the ESL G3 Automated Media Pool (AMP) a "ghost" partition acts as a flexible media pool

where media can be assigned to or removed from partitions as needs change - all without forcing

application reconfigurations.

Bulk media import/export

for significant time

savings

An extended import/export station creates a logical bulk load/unload capability inside the library for faster

imports and exports. A 72-media slot mailbox provides one of the largest bulk load/unload in the industry

offering the ability to load or unload media without having to take the library offline or stop currently-

running backup jobs (as would be required when opening the whole front door).

The library I/E Station configuration can accommodate:

1 to 8 24-slot Import/Export (I/E) stations in the control module and first 7 expansion modules.

1 24-slot I/E in the control module and up to 7 72-slot I/E stations in first 7 expansion modules.

HP LTO Ultrium

Technology

HP LTO (Linear Tape Open) Ultrium Tape Drives use best of breed technology. By taking the best features

from other tape technologies and combining them into a single new technology, Ultrium tape drives are in

a league of their own. Inclusion of innovative features such as Adaptive Tape Speed (ATS) ensure that

Ultrium drives can meet the performance and reliability demands of a library environment. LTO technology

is an open industry standard format; thus data written on HP Ultrium Tape Drives can be interchanged

directly with Ultrium Tape Drives from other vendors.

Data Rate Matching

Data Rate Matching combines sophisticated buffer management with HP's exclusive variable Adaptive

Tape Speed (ATS) technology, to allow the tape drive to match its transfer rate to the host speed

dynamically and continuously across the wide range of transfer rates. This feature ensures that the tape

drive continues to stream data regardless of the environment, and brings two big advantages:

It optimizes backup performance and maximizes overall efficiency allowing the drive to respond

immediately to any speed changes from the host

It minimizes rewinding and repositioning of the tape, significantly reducing physical wear and

increasing reliability

It minimizes the power requirements for the drive by reducing the number of repositions needed

WORM (Write-Once,

Read-Many) Drive

and Media Support

Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store and

manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies such

as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies that can verify the

integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years.

The LTO-6 Ultrium 6650, LTO-5 Ultrium 3280 and LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 tape drives feature the ability to

archive and store data in a non-rewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines.

Using a combination of integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape

formatting, the tape drives can archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure,

untampered state. Since all LTO-6 Ultrium 6650, LTO-5 Ultrium 3280 and LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 tape drives

include support for both rewritable and WORM media, IT organizations can now easily integrate a secure,

long-term archiving solution into their current data protection strategy. As compared to other

technologies that feature support for WORM storage, the tape drives offer the advantages of:

A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs

Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM data

cartridges

A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to prevent

accidental or intentional overwriting of data

High-capacity, low-cost HP WORM media that can store up to 3TB (2:1 compression) of data on a

single data cartridge. (HP LTO-6 Ultrium 6650 has 2.5:1 compression)

Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most comprehensive and

mainstream support in the industry

The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all third- and fourth-

generation Ultrium products

NOTE:

While all LTO-6 Ultrium 6650, HP LTO-5 Ultrium 3280 and LTO-4 Ultrium 1840tape drives support

LTO Ultrium WORM media, some third- and fourth-generation LTO Ultrium tape drives from other

manufacturers may not include read and write support for LTO Ultrium WORM media. For non-HP third-

and fourth-generation LTO Ultrium tape drives, please check the manufacturers' specifications to ensure

this support is provided if you are using your WORM media. If WORM support is not provided, the drive will

eject the WORM tape cartridge immediately upon insertion into to the tape drive.
