The HP StorageWorks 1/8 Tape Autoloader DLT VS80 (Part Number: C9264CB) is designed to offer reliable tape-based data backup and archiving. This device is a tape autoloader, utilising DLT (Digital Linear Tape) technology, which is known for its durability and consistent performance. The autoloader supports a total of 8 cartridges, which allows for extended backup operations with minimal intervention, making it suitable for businesses with significant data storage needs.
The device is equipped with a SCSI interface, ensuring compatibility with a range of server environments and facilitating efficient data transfer between the autoloader and the host system. The tape drive utilises DLT VS80 tapes, which can handle up to 80GB of compressed data or 40GB of native storage capacity per tape cartridge, providing a good balance between storage capacity and performance. This level of capacity is beneficial for mid-sized businesses or departments requiring regular data backups.
Being a 1U form factor device, the HP StorageWorks 1/8 Tape Autoloader DLT VS80 can fit neatly into standard rack-mounted systems, helping to optimise the use of server room space. Additionally, with its automated tape rotation, the device can offer scheduled, unattended backups, reducing manual intervention and the potential for human errors during the process.
In terms of ease of use, the autopilot autoloader can be managed via an LCD interface that provides operational status, error logs, and controls, which simplifies management for IT personnel.
