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

 

low initial acquisition costs and low on-going media and upgrade costs.

 

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

 

RDX Removable Disk Cartridges will work with next generation HP RDX docking stations when they are

 

released.

 

 

Removability and

To ensure complete data protection against all types of data loss - including on-site system/site

portability

destruction or natural disaster - small businesses need the ability to remove their backup and archive

 

data off-site. The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System provides a backup solution that enables on-

 

site backup data to be removed, stored and rotated off-site in an easy, safe and secure way.

 

HP RDX Removable Disk Cartridges are portable (palm size), durable (2.5 inch disk drive features

 

include ramp loading heads, fluid dynamic bearings, inactive state spin down) and rugged (designed

 

and proven to withstand a 3 feet (one meter drop) onto concrete). The robust HP RDX Removable Disk

 

Cartridge is also designed to protect data from potentially damaging Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and

 

as well as prolonged exposure to heat, dust and other environmental contaminants.

 

 

Reliability

The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System provides a docking station specified for more than 10,000

 

load and unloads and an HP RDX cartridge specified for over 5,000 load and unloads and long life

 

expectancy.

 

 

Easy scalability and

Many growing small businesses are experiencing storage capacity growth that is outstripping the

expandability

capacity/performance of current optical backup solutions. The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System

 

provides a backup solution that scales easily as capacity needs grow. Adding capacity is a simple matter

 

of adding cartridges to an existing HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System USB docking station. The HP

 

RDX Removable Disk Backup System docking Station will work with all current as well future higher

 

capacity cartridges as they are introduced. The product's roadmap leverages the industry standard

 

mobile 2.5" hard disk drive roadmaps with new higher capacity cartridges expected to be introduced

 

regularly.
