High-capacity feature reduces costs, provides greater storage consolidation and an exceptional ROIT by reducing the number of required data cartridges.
The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 tape drive is HP third generation LTO technology which delivers a capacity of 800 GB of compressed data on a single cartridge. The Ultrium 960 also features a data transfer rate of 576 GB per hour (compressed). For customers who continually experience shrinking backup windows, the Ultrium 960 is the ideal direct-attach backup storage solution for enterprise and mid-range servers, as well as entry-level hard drive arrays.
The Ultrium 960 supports the industry’s most comprehensive list of compatible hardware and software platforms. Each drive includes a single-server version of HP Data Protector Express backup software, as well as support for HP StorageWorks One-Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) and HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT). The Ultrium 960 Tape Drive is fully read and write compatible with all second-generation Ultrium media, and adds a further degree of investment protection with the ability to read all first-generation Ultrium media as well. The Ultrium 960 also represents HP’s first tape drive solution to deliver support for Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) media. This feature allows customers to implement a cost-effective solution to secure, manage, and archive compliant data records to meet stringent industry regulations.
