• Simplicity - Half-height form factor: The Ultrium 448 Tape Drive has a half-height form factor, allowing for installation into all standard 5.25-inch media bays.
• Value - Investment Protection built in: Each HP Ultrium 448 Tape Drive ships with HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express Software Single Server Edition backup/recovery and the HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express Software Bare Metal Disaster Recovery option.
• Agility - Choice of models: Offering a choice of both SCSI and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) models. New 3Gb/sec SAS interface allows direct connect to SAS-based servers via embedded SAS controller or SAS Host Bus Adapter.
• Agility - Server compatibility: SAS-based models qualified on HP ProLiant- SCSI-based models qualified on HP ProLiant, Integrity, 9000, NonStop, and AlphaServers platforms, as well as many servers from other vendors such as Dell, IBM, and Sun.
• Software Compatibility: extensive list of supported backup and archiving software applications from HP, CA, VERITAS, Yosemite, Legato, Tivoli, and many more
• Management and Diagnostics Software Included: Tape drive management, performance optimization, and troubleshooting are made simple using the HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools application that is included with the HP Ultrium 448 Tape Drive
• Value - Backup software included: Every HP Ultrium 448 Tape Drive ships with HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express Software Single Server Edition and the HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express Software Bare Metal Disaster Recovery option.
• One-Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) Supported: Firmware-based disaster recovery feature that can restore an entire system using a single Ultrium 448 Tape Drive and data cartridge.

The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 232 Tape Drive is one the newest LTO1 drives on the market and the fastest in HP portfolio. This affordable superdrive delivers enterprise-class backup capacity, performance, and reliability at a midrange price. With a compressed capacity of 200 GB per data cartridge and a compressed data transfer rate of 115 GB per hour, this LTO1 drive is read- and write-compatible with all first-generation Ultrium tape drives and media, and its media can be read by any LTO1, 2, or 3 drive from any manufacturer.

Despite its low cost, the Ultrium 232's rugged design delivers excellent reliability and includes many of the advanced features of its bigger siblings. The drive employs data rate matching to adjust to the speed of the host, reducing wear and tear on both the drive and media while increasing performance, particularly on slower systems. The Ultrium 232 supports HP StorageWorks One-Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR), taking the worry out of disaster planning.

Highlights of the HP STORAGEWORKS ULTRIUM 232

• Affordable capacity: HP Ultrium half-height tape drives provide superdrive capacity at a low price, and the fact that these drives use widely available industry-standard media makes their overall cost of ownership even lower
• Affordable performance: High capacity goes hand-in-hand with high performance. The Ultrium 448 can fill an Ultrium 2 data cartridge with 400 GB of compressed data in 2.5 hours, while the Ultrium 232 can back up 200 GB of compressed data in less than two hours (assuming 2:1 data compression)
• Enterprise-class reliability: The design of HP Ultrium half-height tape drives is leveraged from HP's outstandingly reliable full-height Ultrium tape drives, incorporating features such as data rate matching, soft load, and simple tape path to make these drives as dependable as their bigger siblings
• Compact form factor: HP pioneered Ultrium half-height tape drives in 2001, and still makes the only half-height LTO-1 drives on the market. Their compact form factor means these drives fit internally in most servers and take up less space in rack environments
• Investment protection: HP Ultrium half-height tape drives are fully read-and write-compatible with all Ultrium tape drives from HP and other manufacturers, allowing for flexibility in deployment. And when you choose an HP Ultrium tape drive, you're buying from the leading manufacturer of LTO tape drives
• Simple disaster recovery: All HP Ultrium tape drives support HP StorageWorks One-Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR), a unique firmware design that works with your backup software to ensure that, when the worst happens, you can recover your data quickly and completely with the touch of a button
• Complete solution: Included in the box is a single-server copy of HP OpenView Storage Data Protector and Yosemite TapeWare software, allowing you to implement sophisticated data protection features or an easy-to-use backup application, as your needs dictate
• Active head cleaning: HP Ultrium tape drives perform their own automated cleaning that increases head life and greatly reduces the need for using the cleaning cartridge

The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 Tape Drive represents HP's third-generation of LTO tape drive technology. Positioned as the highest capacity drive in the StorageWorks family, the Ultrium 960 features an 800 GB compressed (2: 1) storage capacity using new LTO 3 media. By doubling the capacity of current Ultrium drives, HP customers now require fewer data cartridges to meet their storage needs, significantly reducing their IT costs and increasing their ROI.

The Ultrium 960 also features a compressed (2: 1) data transfer rate of 160 MB/s. Using a new 16-channel recording head, an Ultra320 SCSI interface, and increases in media tracks and bit density, the HP Ultrium 960 sets a new performance benchmark as the world's fastest tape drive. For customers that continually experience shrinking backup windows, the Ultrium 960 is the ideal direct-attach backup storage solution for enterprise and mid-range server, as well as entry-level hard drive arrays.
