Our Dual sDLT Tape Subsystem is part
of GST’s SafeDR™ family. Dual drives generate
identical sets of backup cartridges so that one set can be
safeguarded remotely for disaster recovery while the other
set is retained onsite for faster restores; other tape functions
add off-line copy and cascading capabilities. An LCD panel
provides an advanced operator interface for visibility over
backup operations.
The Dual sDLT Tape Subsystem can backup a wide variety of
servers. They connect natively with LVD (low voltage differential),
HVD (high voltage differential), and FC (Fibre Channel) interfaces.
GST’s Dual sDLT Tape Subsystem is available in a variety
of models. Each sDLT technology is available in two server-to-SCSI
Adapter interfaces and one fibre interface:
. Maximum SCSI negotiation
of 160MB/s; the total server-to-storage peripheral connectivity
is 12 meters.
. Maximum SCSI negotiation
of 40MB/s; the total server-to-storage peripheral connectivity
is 25 meters.
. 2Gbit fibre interface.
sDLT tape technologies supported are sDLT320 and the newer
sDLT600. Native capacities for sDLT320 and sDLT600 are 160GB
and 300GB (320GB, 600GB compressed) with speeds of 58GB/hour
and 130GB/hour (115GB/hour, 260GB/hour compressed). A 4-generation
roadmap provides for a native capacity of 1.2TB per cartridge
(2.4TB compressed) and a transfer rate of up to 360GB/hour
(720GB/hour compressed).
The sDLT is based on the technology
platform that more companies trust to protect their business
critical information asset than any other: DLTtape. Specifically
designed for the high duty-cycle requirements of the high-end
and automated environments, sDLT drives are rated at 250,000
hour Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) at a 100% tape motion.
A low-tension tape design, simple tape path and the proven
reliability of linear serpentine tape recording combine to
provide users with rock solid reliability and data integrity.
– For IT sites with an
investment in sDLT320 media, the newer sDLT600 technology
is backward-read compatible, and forward-read compatible
with future generations.
– Mirrored backup capability produces simultaneous
sets of identical backup cartridges with no performance
penalty; this permits storage of one set off-site for better
disaster recovery and storage of the other set on-site for
rapid restore.
– Dual-drive configurations ensure
against drive failure since the second drive continues to
operate, ensuring the backup is completed successfully.
–
For dual-drive subsystems, key added tape functions include:
dual-drive mirroring for mirrored backups, off-line copying/verifying
with no processor penalty, and cascading to extend unattended
backup capacity by switching from one drive to the other
(doubling capacity).
– Manages mirroring, off-line
copying, cascading, and the LCD Display Panel.
– Multi-function LCD Display
Panel continuously displays key drive and backup job conditions.
– RS232 interface for updating
firmware and optimizing drive performance.
– A variety of support programs
provide installation and onsite service; includes GST’s
Accelerated Ship Program (GASP) to get replacement units
on the scene rapidly.
– Purchase price includes a built-in manufacturer’s
warranty of three years.
