The HP Enterprise Modular Library (EML) E-series Tape Libraries provide reliability, scalability & manageability with robust data protection and investment protection in heterogeneous Storage Area Network (SAN) environments. The EML delivers superior data availability with protection against SAN event disruptions using the built in HP Extended Tape Library Architecture (ETLA). You can flexibly scale to 1515 TB compressed (2:1) storage capacity or 16.1 TB/hr compressed (2:1) throughput performance from rack-ready or factory racked configurations. Easily manage the EML remotely while simplifying complex environments with logical library partitioning. The EML delivers a centralized encryption key management solution through Secure Key Manager (SKM) & provides hardware encryption with the LTO-5 & LTO-4 Ultrium tape drives. The EML delivers value through highly reliable data protection, agility through modular scalability and simplicity through ease of management.

Funkcije

Manageability

• The EML library has been designed to ease the management burdens of data protection in your SAN. HP Command View for Tape Libraries Software provides remote management, diagnostics and configuration of all your HP EML Tape Libraries from across the room or across the globe.

• TapeAssure makes managing, optimizing & archiving on the HP Enterprise libraries faster and easier. It provides comprehensive summaries & detailed information about the status, performance, utilization, & health of all tape drives & media. This data can be exported on demand or at scheduled times.

• Simplify managing complex environments with library partitioning. HP Secure Manager Tape Library Software allows the user to logically divide the library into up to six virtual tape libraries. This function is especially useful when multiple SANs or backup software packages are present.

• HP Extended Tape Library Architecture (ETLA) simplifies the installation and integration of the library into the SAN. ETLA-based libraries are self-aware, self-managed, and automatically maintained, to simplify monitoring and maintenance.

Scalability

• The EML delivers flexible scalability from 71 to 505 slots for consolidating environments needing up to 1515 TB compressed (2:1) storage capacity. The number of drives and slots may be increased by the purchase of expansion modules bringing the library to 8 drives and 505 slots for maximum capacity.

• The EML tape library has the ability to grow compressed (2:1) throughput performance up to 16.1 TB/hr. The number of drives and slots may be increased by the purchase of expansion modules bringing the library to 16 drives and 442 slots for maximum performance.

• The EML tape library provides flexible racking alternatives. Choose between rack-ready configurations that can be installed at the customer site or HP factory-racked configurations that minimize installation time.

• HP EML LTO-5 Ultrium 3280 Tape Drive with 8Gb fibre channel drive interface provides higher capacity and performance capabilities.

Reliability

• The EML delivers superior data availability with protection against SAN event disruptions using ETLA. ETLA provides improved backup and restore reliability by intercepting rogue I/O requests from applications or new servers and prevents those requests from interrupting backup or recovery processes.

• The EML Tape Library ensures heterogeneous SAN interoperability and solution support. Certified through the HP Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS), the EML tape library is compatible with leading backup software packages, operating systems, servers, and disk arrays.(www.hp.com/go/ebs)

• Proven reliability with 2 million MSBF (mean swaps between failure)

Security

• HP Secure Key Manager (SKM) reduces your risk of a costly data breach and reputation damage. It also improves regulatory compliance with a secure centralized encryption key management solution using HP LTO-5 and LTO-4 Ultrium Tape Drives in the EML Tape Library.

• AES 256-bit embedded hardware encryption provides a high level of AES 256-bit embedded hardware encryption security, with compression, for strong backup data privacy to secure confidential information and address compliance quickly.
