Overview

The HP StorageWorks Enterprise Modular Library (EML) E-Series Tape Libraries provide performance, reliability and investment protection for your data protection needs. With up to 16 HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives, the EML E-Series boasts native throughput of over 4.6 TB/hr. Based on the HP StorageWorks Extended Tape Library Architecture (ETLA), controllers between the SAN and the tape drives regulate traffic and help to ensure that rogue I/O requests do not interrupt the backup or recovery job in progress. Additionally, the hardware itself is very reliable, designed for 24x7 environments. Investment protection is achieved through the ability to scale up, out and through time. Through the addition of expansion modules, the EML library scales to 16 drives and over 440 slots. Future expansion modules will allow the EML E-Series to scale beyond 500 slots within the library footprint.

Features

Factory Integrated and Tested: Factory integration - also referred to as configure to order (CTO) - is now available with all new EML E-Series tape library orders. Must select the EML base library sku (AG104A) and the number of slots; next select #0D1 options to be integrated.
Scalable to 16 drives and over 440 slots: The EML E-Series library is built on a modular structure; the number of drives and slots may be increased by the purchase of expansion modules bringing the total capacity of the library to 16 drives and 442 slots
Interface controllers protect tape drives from SAN events: The EML E-Series is built on the HP StorageWorks Extended Tape Library Architecture (ETLA) which includes the use of interface controllers between the tape drives and the SAN to provide advanced functionality; The interface controllers intercept rogue I/O requests from applications or new servers and prevent those requests from interrupting backup or recovery jobs in process; Additionally, the controllers provide the platform from which to run advanced diagnostics should something go wrong in the SAN
Remote management: Utilizing HP StorageWorks Command View for Tape Libraries Software for EML or the command line interface, you can access the EML E-Series library from across the room or across the globe
4G Interface Controller support: HP’s new e-2400-FC 4Gb Interface Controller now offers higher performance for Ultrium 960-FC Tape Drive customers
