Does your data storage capacity outstrip your backup, disaster recovery, and archive capability?

The Spectra TFinity ExaScale Tape Library delivers up to 2.53 exabytes (EB) of proven storage density packaged in a small footprint and offers scalability and speed to meet the requirements of the most demanding environments. Additional flexibility is provided through support of mixed media, both Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Technology and TS11xx technology, in the same library. Customers can also access and migrate data from legacy Oracle® T10000 media to both technologies. Using LTO technology, it can expand from 50 to 56,400 slots for 2.5 EB of compressed data. Using TS1170 technology, the library can expand from 45 to 42,930 slots for 6.45 EB of compressed data. The tape library can support up to 144 drives with transfer rates of 207.4 TB/hr (466.6 TB/hr compressed) using LTO-9 or support up to 144 drives with transfer rates of 207.4 TB/hr (466.6 TB/hr compressed) using TS1170 technology.

Does your data storage capacity outstrip your backup, disaster-recovery, and archive capability? Spectra T950 Tape Library combines field-proven reliability with storage innovation and gives you access to a full suite of enterprise storage capabilities. It delivers powerful library management, superior and proactive data integrity administration, and the outstanding total cost of ownership (TCO) for any tape solution. Once data expands beyond the limits of your initial Spectra T950 Tape Library configurations, you simply add expansion frames to keep growing. Storage can expand up to 120 drives and 10,020 Linear Tape-Open (LTO) slots (7,614 enterprise slots) in eight frames. With versatile built-in BlueScale software interface, you have intelligent command, control, and data integrity functionality at the touch of a screen. Spectra T950 Tape Library, with its compact footprint, is installed in many organizations worldwide to meet their backup, archive, and deep storage requirements.

Hitachi FlashCopy Mirroring for Mainframe enhances data availability for mainframe data and improves productivity by providing IBM FlashCopy compatible point-in-time copies within an XP disk array. As soon as a copy is created, it becomes available for use. The copy can be either virtual or physical. If a virtual copy is specified, it remains a pointer-based copy that only saves the changes from the original. However, if a physical copy is specified, a full copy will be completed in the background while both the source and the copy remain available for access.

For additional availability, FlashCopy can be combined with Hitachi ShadowImage for Mainframe, Hitachi TrueCopy for Mainframe, Hitachi Universal Replicator for Mainframe, and Hitachi Extended Remote Copy for Mainframe.

Want to better manage your secondary data?

The Cohesity solution available through HPE Complete, provides a converged web-scale data management platform that consolidates all secondary workloads, including storage and data services onto one unified, efficient solution. The majority of enterprise data consists of secondary data: backups, files, objects, test copies, and analytics data. It is fragmented across a patchwork of appliances, which typically include deduplication, backup servers, filers, and data lakes. Managing secondary storage is complex with data copied and stored across silos which results in excessive cost of ownership. This solution simplifies data protection, consolidates file and object services, provides instant access to test/dev copies, and supports in-place search and analytics. This converged platform coupled with HPE ProLiant platforms provides a holistic solution that advances user operations, enhances reliability and radically reduces cost and complexity.

The HPE StoreFront Analytics software provides customers using HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage with dashboards to gain deep insights and visibility into log analytics of the storage infrastructure.
HPE StoreFront Analytics integrates directly into VMware vRealize Log Insight through dashboards and custom fields specific to HPE storage. This dashboard allows VMware vSphere administrators to quickly view storage logs and errors and allows to easier troubleshoot scenarios that span across virtual and physical layers, which includes the HPE 3PAR StoreServ layer.
By actively analyzing and providing alerts of virtual machines, datastores and storage, the VMware vSphere administrator's productivity increases, as does the ability to rapidly identify and troubleshoot potential problems and ensure consistent, predictable quality of service.

HPE LTO Ultrium, Super DLT and DLTtape IV Bar Code Label Packs provide an easy-to-use solution to the aggravation of bar coding.

Under constant pressure to deliver quality of service with limited resources, the last thing IT managers should be worrying about is why their in-house bar code labels aren't working properly or whose turn it is to operate (or run) the departmental label printer. Each HPE label pack of consecutively numbered bar codes contains 100 data labels and 10 cleaning cartridge labels. No two pack sequences are ever identical to avoid data integrity issues in archives. HPE Bar Code Label Packs will be available from most resellers that stock HPE brand media.

Finally, HPE Bar Code Label Packs have been fully tested to guarantee performance in demanding automation environments, so unlike cheaper alternatives, users can be certain that their backups will never be disrupted by bar code quality issues.
