HP HP AA941A StorageWorks E-Series Tape Libraries are fully integrated into HP StorageWorks Extended Tape Library Architecture (ETLA) that provides improved backup and restore reliability by insulating the tape library from the SAN. This helps to significantly reduce IT resource and time investigating and resolving backup failures. ETLA simplifies the installation and integration of the library into the SAN by providing a simple point-and-click integration process.
The HP AA941A ETLA simplifies backup through better, more automated management of the entire library. ETLA also offers remote manageability that allows you to easily configure, manage, and monitor all library components from any location.
The E-Series supports a mixture of Ultrium 960 FC, Ultrium 460 and SDLT 600 tape drives in a single cabinet. This allows customer to easily migrate their library forward as new tape drive technologies become available. The ESL E-Series Tape Library provides the ability to easily partition the library into up to six virtual tape libraries to adapt to ongoing changes that take place in the SAN environment. The ESL E-Series libraries combined with the HP ETLA offers customers with enterprise storage area networks (SAN) superior reliability and expandability, ease of integration, and simplicity of installation and operation.
