EBS INTERCONNECTS (continued)

Modular Data Router

EBS for Workgroups, Departments and Data Centers

The Compaq StorageWorks Modular Data Router (MDR) is a 1U Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge that allows a differential SCSI tape device (both LVD and HVD) to communicate with other devices over Fibre Channel. Each MDR has a single Fibre Channel connection and two SCSI buses supporting up to four DLT 35/70 or AIT tape drives per controller. An optional card allows four more tape drives to be supported for a maximum of eight drives supported by a single controller. The dual-connector SCSI channels support the DLT Library Model 35/70, TL891, TL895, ESL9326D and SSL2020 tape libraries. The Modular Data Router includes a rack mount kit.

Fibre Channel Tape Controller-II

EBS for Workgroups, Departments and Data Centers

The Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Tape Controller-II is a 1U Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge that allows a differential SCSI tape device to communicate with other devices over a Fibre Channel. Each Fibre Channel Tape Controller-II has a single Fibre Channel connection and two SCSI buses supporting a maximum of four DLT 35/70 tape drives per controller. The dual-connector SCSI channels support the DLT Library Model 35/70, TL891, TL895, and ESL9326D tape libraries. The Fibre Channel Tape Controller-II includes a rack mount kit.

EBS LIBRARIES

One of the most important components of the Enterprise Backup Solution is the automated tape library. Compaq supports both DLT and AIT library products:

Compaq StorageWorks SSL2020 AIT Tape Library

Compaq StorageWorks TL891 DLT Library

Compaq StorageWorks TL895 DLT Library

SSL2020 AIT Tape Library

EBS for Workgroups, Departments, and Data Centers

The SSL2020AIT Tape Library offers 1 Terabyte (native) of storage in a 4U Table Top or Rack configuration. The SSL2020 single or dual drive module is the first step to building a 10 drive, 100-slot library, for a total of 10 Terabytes in a 20U space. The Compaq SSL2020 is qualified with Windows NT & Windows 2000, NetWare, Tru64 Unix and Solaris.

TL891 DLT Library

EBS for Workgroups, Departments, and Data Centers

The TL891 is offered as a stand-alone tabletop unit or as a scalable/stackable rackmount unit, with a removable 10 cartridge magazine, and integrated bar code reader and two Compaq 35/70 DLT drives. The TL891 is built on a modular concept, offering unparalleled scalability and the ability to custom configure a rack mount solution to meet specific performance and capacity requirements. With 10 data cartridges, the TL891 base unit offers 700 GB of compressed storage capacity in a small 4U height.

TL895 DLT Library

EBS for Departments and EBS for Data Centers

The TL895 offers multiple terabytes of automated DLT backup and restoration for mission-critical data running in mixed operating environments. It is a high-capacity DLT device fully qualified by Compaq to run on both ProLiant and Alpha Series servers. The TL895 is also qualified on all Alpha/Intel based servers running Windows NT/2000, NetWare, Tru64 UNIX, and OVMS operating systems, using industry-standard application software as a directly attached storage device. For use with the Enterprise Backup Solution, the TL895 is certified for use with Intel-based ProLiants running Windows NT/2000 or NetWare, Alpha based servers running Tru64 UNIX, and Sun Solaris servers.
