The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 920 tape drive is HP's third generation of half-height LTO tape drive technology. As the highest capacity, fastest performance half-height drive in the StorageWorks family, the Ultrium 920 delivers a compressed storage capacity of 800 GB per data cartridge and a compressed data transfer rate of 432 GB per hour, two and a half times faster than the previous generation Ultrium 448 tape drive. Available in both SCSI and SAS models, the Ultrium 920 is ideal for midrange and departmental servers.

The Ultrium 920 Tape Drive is fully read and write compatible with all second-generation Ultrium drives and media and offers further investment protection through its backward-read compatibility with first-generation Ultrium media. For IT organizations with stringent, long-term data retention requirements, the Ultrium 920's WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) data protection feature offers a simple and secure method for archiving records as part of a compliance solution to meet the toughest of industry regulations.

System

Software Included (May be trial or restricted) The HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives include HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express Single Server Edition software and its Bare Metal Disaster Recovery option, proving a backup application to protect a single Windows, Linux or NetWare server. The Data Protector Express Bare Metal Disaster Recovery (BMDR) option provides automated system recovery of that server following a major hardware or software failure. The fastest method to recovery the server is to use the Data Protector Express BMDR option and the One Button Disaster Recovery feature of the HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives. As well as getting the Data Protector Express Single Server Edition software as part of the HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives solution, purchasers can also upgrade to the class-leading Data Protector Express backup/recovery software. This is a special SKU, only available for new customers of HP StorageWorks tape products that gives a significant discount off Data Protector Express to recognize the value of the in-box software. Upgrading to Data Protector Express allows network backup of servers and Windows desktops, extends the disk-to-disk backup capacity and capability and permits the additions of agents and extensions to increase scale and performance of the backup infrastructure. If the HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drive is for a large environment that requires UNIX support and/or enterprise class application and feature support then HP OpenView Storage Data Protector is the recommended backup/recovery software.
