2 Chapter Component Summary Compaq has enhanced the StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) with support for a larger Tape Library called the Compaq StorageWorks TL895 DLT Tape Library. The TL895 supports up to seven DLT 35/70 tape drives and up to ninety-six data cartridges for a compressed capacity of 6.6 TB. The TL895 is a vast improvement in performance and capacity over the current Compaq DLT 15 Cartridge Library Model 35/70 that has fifteen cartridges. Combining the high-powered TL895 DLT library with the functionality of the Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) makes data management: s Easier through centralization. s Faster through multiple backup and restores concurrently executing on all seven drives. s Scaleable because two to seven drive configurations allow sizing both speed and volume to meet individual enterprise data zone needs. The Enterprise Backup Solution After examining a broad range of technologies, Compaq developed the Enterprise Network Storage Architecture (ENSA) to take customers well into the 21st century. Working closely with industry-leading independent software vendors (ISVs), Compaq created a fully integrated and seamless solution--the Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS). This solution consists of the following: s An independent Fibre Channel loop capable of transferring data at 100 Megabytes per second (MB/s). s Fibre Channel Host Controllers and a Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12, linking the server to the Fibre Channel loop. s Fibre Channel Tape Controllers (FCTCs) that convert Fibre Channel Protocol to Differential SCSI protocol for the tape libraries. The FCTC also allows autonomous control of the tape unit. s The Compaq StorageWorks TL895 DLT Tape Library with seven DLT drives and up to 6.6 TB of storage.

Component Summary
Compaq has enhanced the StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) with support for a
larger Tape Library called the Compaq StorageWorks TL895 DLT Tape Library. The TL895
supports up to seven DLT 35/70 tape drives and up to ninety-six data cartridges for a
compressed capacity of 6.6 TB. The TL895 is a vast improvement in performance and capacity
over the current Compaq DLT 15 Cartridge Library Model 35/70 that has fifteen cartridges.
Combining the high-powered TL895 DLT library with the functionality of the Enterprise
Backup Solution (EBS) makes data management:
■
Easier
through centralization.
■
Faster
through multiple backup and restores concurrently executing on all seven drives.
■
Scaleable
because two to seven drive configurations allow sizing both speed and volume
to meet individual enterprise data zone needs.
The Enterprise Backup Solution
After examining a broad range of technologies, Compaq developed the Enterprise Network
Storage Architecture (ENSA) to take customers well into the 21
st
century. Working closely with
industry-leading independent software vendors (ISVs), Compaq created a fully integrated and
seamless solution--the Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS). This solution
consists of the following:
■
An independent Fibre Channel loop
capable of transferring data at 100 Megabytes per
second (MB/s).
■
Fibre Channel Host Controllers and a Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12,
linking the
server to the Fibre Channel loop.
■
Fibre Channel Tape Controllers (FCTCs)
that convert Fibre Channel Protocol to
Differential SCSI protocol for the tape libraries. The FCTC also allows autonomous
control of the tape unit.
■
The Compaq StorageWorks TL895 DLT Tape Library
with seven DLT drives and up
to 6.6 TB of storage.
■
Storage management software
that takes advantage of the added bandwidth of Fibre
