TapeAssure HP TapeAssure makes managing, optimizing and archiving on the HP MSL 2024, 4040, 8048 or

8096 libraries faster and easier. TapeAssure provides comprehensive summaries and detailed information about the status, performance, utilization, and health of all tape drives and cartridges for HP MSL libraries. TapeAssure utilization and performance reporting features allow you to optimize the use of your existing HP MSL tape libraries to make informed purchasing decisions if an increase in capacity is needed. With TapeAssure data you can:

Modify backup schedules to make best use of the drives and tapes available and evenly distribute their workload

Predict and prevent failures through early warnings and recommended service actions

Determine if each drive and each tape is experiencing a high (or low) rate of usage

Know when to retire tapes

Find out the compression ratios actually achieved

TapeAssure health reports and alerts give you peace of mind knowing the condition of the drives, the tapes and the data on each tape. TapeAssure monitors every backup to ensure the highest standards of reliability, sends alerts when these standards are not met, and ensures that you can maintain the drives and tapes used in an archive environment to have the highest integrity.

TapeAssure builds a database of drive and tape history information that you can export as .CSV

(comma-separated-value) files and import into Excel or other tools to create pivot-charts, pie charts and bar charts for graphical presentation or further analysis. This data can be automatically exported on a schedule or on demand and written to a local or network drive where analysis scripts can also be run.

TapeAssure real time alerts notify instantly if drive and data quality standards are not being achieved:

In-depth analysis pinpoints if drive, tape or data characteristics fall below HP backup and archiving standards

View alerts and statistics is real-time in the Command View TL GUI

NOTE: an alert does not imply that a failure has occurred as HP backup and archiving standards are very high. This allows you to treat many of the alerts as predictive and to follow up on the recommended service actions at a time that is least disruptive.

HP StoreEver TapeAssure Advanced Software provides an intuitive, easy to use dashboard, and advance analytics feature for performance, health and utilization related to tape libraries, drives and cartridges. TapeAssure Advanced Software is well integrated into HP Command View TL

Libraries

Software for a single pane of glass management, monitoring and analytics. HP TapeAssure

Advanced Software provides a dashboard display with pie charts, live and historical graphs for performance, health and utilization data, and highlights issues in the tape infrastructure.

Advanced analytics feature makes use of predictive analytics to predict the likelihood of failures, bottlenecks and load balancing issues in the tape infrastructure. It has unique capabilities of analytics around drive health and life as well as cartridge health and life. CommandView TL must be installed for TapeAssure Advanced to operate.

Easy Installation

Partitioning

The MSL Tape Libraries are shipped as a rack-ready unit. The rack mount hardware included with the library allows installation in a variety of HP racks. For more information on the HP rack offerings, please see the following URL: http://h18004.ww1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/rackandpower.html

The MSL Tape Libraries now include the ability to be configured as a partitioned library. Most MSL

Libraries may be configured with up to one partition per drive; four partitions if four drives are installed. Partitioning allows each partitioned library to be presented to the host as an independent library, separate from other partitions in the library. Hosts for each partition own independent sets of media and can use ISV software that is different from the other partitions allowing maximum flexibility and utilization of the MSL library.

NOTE: The MSL 8048 can only be partitioned into a maximum of two partitions, while the

MSL8096 can be partitioned into four partitions.

Proven Reliability

Longevity

With a rating of 2,000,000 robot load/unload cycles, the MSL Tape Libraries provides necessary high reliability for today's demanding environment. To improve reliability and longevity, all HP

Ultrium products feature Data Rate Matching (DRM). This allows the tape drive to dynamically and continuously adjust the speed of the drive, to match the speed of the host or network. This increases performance, reduces mechanical wear on the tape drive and extends tape life.

Organizations need to be confident that their data in archive is still there when they need it. LTO tape media is specified with a 30 year shelf life in normal ambient conditions.

Disaster Recovery and

Security

Removable media also has the advantage that data is held 'offline' which means that archive data on tape has the additional level of protection from the threats to on-line data from viruses, hackers and cyber-attacks. LTO-6 Ultrium tape drives include hardware based data encryption to prevent unauthorized access to data at rest and cartridges are available with write-once-read-many

(WORM) capability to prevent accidental overwriting of data archived on the tape. Both WORM and hardware data encryption features help organizations to comply with increased data security regulations

Data Encryption


Libraries

The HP 1/8 G2 & MSL Encryption Kit provides a library-enabled encryption solution providing data privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of your critical business data while supporting compliance requirements. The HP 1/8 G2 & MSL Encryption Kit is an easy and affordable library-enabled encryption solution for small businesses.

Protect the confidentiality and integrity of your data:

The encryption kit includes two USB key server tokens, product documentation, and firmware support. One encryption kit is needed per library or autoloader. One USB key server token is installed in the USB port of the library to enable encryption. The token must remain in the tape library or tape autoloader while encryption is enabled. The USB key server token generates and stores keys for the LTO-6, LTO-5 or LTO-4 Ultrium drives. The USB key server token uses a hardware random number generator, a cryptographic module running on FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated hardware, password authentication, and digital envelopes for strong encryption keys and security operations. A second USB key server token is provided in the kit to be used as a backup token which can be stored in a secure location. The keys are transferred securely tokento-token for backup or export, with no exposure to insecure PCs, servers, or networks. An option is also provided to save the token contents to a secure file. You may now also save the most recently added keys on the token to a file to enable you to seed new tokens with keys from other tokens. The encryption kit provides a self-contained solution for MSL libraries with no additional software, PCs, or servers required or involved.

Protect IT resources and meet compliance requirements:

With the HP 1/8 G2 & MSL Encryption Kit, users can enable or disable encryption, configure and manage the USB key server tokens, restore encrypted data, as well as a variety of other tasks. In addition, the LTO-6, LTO-5 and LTO-4 Ultrium tape drives use the Advanced

Encryption Standard (AES) with the longest and most secure keys -- 256 bits. AES-256 encryption is implemented using the Galois Counter Mode (GCM). This method adds Message

Authentication Codes to ensure the integrity as well as privacy of the backup data stored on tape. The HPLTO-6, LTO-5 and LTO-4 Ultrium Tape Drives are designed to be compliant with the standard for tape media security (IEEE 1619.1).

To meet requirements for larger scale encryption key managers, the MSL family of libraries also supports KMIP 1.2 compliant key managers. With the purchase of the MSL2024/4048/8095

KMIP Encryption License, the MSL library will be able to request encryption keys from KMIP 1.2

compliant key managers, for data encryption and key management.

Slot license upgrade Leverage the MSL8048 library investment to address both current and future data requirements with the MSL 48 to 96 slot license upgrade option. Using all the same features of the MSL8096, the MSL8048 will ship with 96 slots physically installed but only 48 are usable, until you decide you need more. As your data grows, simply enable the remaining 48 slots with a slot license upgrade.

The MSL8048 will ship with the four left 12-slot magazines enabled and ready for use, including 3 mail slots. Once additional slots are needed, the library will need the MSL 48 to 96 slot license upgrade (product # TA739A) to quickly and easily double capacity from 48 to 96 slots. The slot license upgrade entitlement certificate will direct you to the HP Webware site for access to your license key. Insert the license key into the library GUI interface and the remaining four right 12-slot magazines, with additional mail slot capability, will now be enabled for use. No reconfiguring a rack or installing new hardware. In addition, once all 96 slots have been enabled, additional capacity and performance can be added using the MSL Library Extender. The HP MSL8048 makes capacity growth easy, quick, and affordable.

Product Highlights

Library Extender Leverage the investment in your MSL Library, now or in the future, to increase both capacity and performance as data needs change. The HP MSL Library Extender Kit can be used to connect two

MSL libraries to create one larger, logical library. The stacked libraries appear to the host as a single library. The Extender Kit can be used with MSL2024, 4048, or 8096 libraries and is compatible with both new and currently installed libraries. The Extender Kit is customer installable in under 60 minutes.

The Library Extender occupies the lowest half-height drive bay in the top library and the upper halfheight drive bay of the lower library. No additional external power or communication cabling is necessary. The upper Library (MSL4048 or MSL8096) controls the extended library. Any drive in the extended library may host the library interface. Only the operator control panel (OCP), USB port, and Ethernet connection of the upper library are used in the extended mode.

The Library Extender Kit does not support combining two MSL2024 or two MSL8096 libraries. The

Extended Library will not support partitioning.

HP Ultrium WORM Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store and manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies that can verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years.

The LTO-6, LTO-5, LTO-4 Ultrium and LTO-3 Ultrium tape drives features the ability to archive and store data in a non-rewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines.

Using a combination of integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape formatting, the tape drives can archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure, untampered state. Since all LTO-6, LTO-5, LTO-4 and LTO-3 Ultrium tape drives include support for both rewritable and WORM media, IT organizations can now easily integrate a secure, long-term archiving solution into their current data protection strategy. As compared to other technologies that feature support for WORM storage, the tape drives offer the advantages of:

A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs

Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and

WORM data cartridges

A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to prevent accidental or intentional overwriting of data

High-capacity, low-cost HP WORM media that can store up to 6.25 TB (2.5:1 compression) of data on a single data cartridge

When it comes to robustness and reliability, standard warranties on today's computing equipment have matured just as the technologies have matured. Good news on some fronts-but also a source of potential problems and subsequent consequences that come from depending on standard warranties alone. Standard warranty protects against product defects and some causes of downtime- but not the business. By using a standard approach to warranty uplifts, such as HP Care

Pack Services, you can reduce downtime risks and be more certain of operational consistency for both mission-critical and standard business computing. Simply put, HP Care Pack Services normalize the warranty of combined products - helping you proactively guard against unplanned downtime.

Extending warranties with HP Care Pack Services

For cost-effective upgrading or extending your standard warranty, HP Care Pack Services offer a suite of standard reactive hardware and software support services that are sold separately, or combined as with our Support Plus and Support Plus 24 services. The portfolio also provides a combination of proactive and reactive services, such as Proactive 24 Service and

Critical Service. In addition, with HP Proactive Select we offer an innovative approach to service delivery that gives you the flexibility to acquire the specific proactive services you need today, then add services as your needs evolve. HP Proactive

Select offers a broad set of technical or per-event type service options - including server, storage, and network, SAN device, and software, environment, installation and education services. Services that you can mix and match depending on your specific requirements, from preliminary planning and equipment delivery to installation, configuration, integration, and testing, through every level of ongoing support. Our HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage assures help when you need it most. And for many products, post-warranty HP Care Pack Services are available when your original warranty has expired.

HP Storage Services: Offering reliability, flexibility and value-just like your storage

HP Storage Services offers a full spectrum of customer care, from technology support to complex migrations to complete completely managed services. HP Factory Express provides customization, integration and deployment services for turnkey solutions. HP Education offers flexible, comprehensive training on storage networking, disk storage systems, and storage software to help your IT staff get the most out of your investments. And HP Financial solutions extend innovative financing and asset management programs to cost-effective buy, manage and eventually retire your older equipment.
