Product Highlights
Affordable cost of | Many small business customers have limited IT budget available for data protection with business owners |
ownership | wanting to reduce IT capital and operational expenditure and protect IT investments to optimize business |
| profitability. The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System provides a complete backup solution that has |

| Total cost of ownership is lowered by the fact that HP RDX Removable Disk Cartridges are specified for |
| 5,000 insertion/removal cycles, so HP RDX Removable Disk Cartridges will not wear out (and therefore |
| need to be replaced) over the typical life cycle of the solution. Upgrade and obsolescence costs are also |
| reduced and investment protection guaranteed by the fact that HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System |
| docking stations are compatible with all current and future higher capacity HP RDX Removable Disk |
| Cartridges. Customers will not need to purchase a new docking station when next generation higher |
| capacity HP RDX Removable Disk Cartridges are released. Similarly, today's HP RDX Removable Disk |
| Cartridges are compatible with all current and future HP RDX docking stations. Customer's existing HP |
