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

As competition grows for customers in the marketplace, enterprises are relying on technology to help them differentiate their business. Many of the applications used to provide services and increase productivity require reliable, secure communications. Network resiliency, security of data, and application-driven performance are the mainstays of a network built to provide services.

Aggregating network traffic from wiring closets and servers provides increased network performance and aids in troubleshooting. By aggregating wiring closet traffic into a hardware-based routing switch, inter-network traffic can be routed at wire-speed, ensuring application response times, required by bandwidth-sensitive applications, are met. Additionally, fewer high-speed router ports are required since high-speed wiring closet links are consolidated before connecting to the WAN router. Troubleshooting is made easier by providing clear distinctions for traffic segmentation.

The Passport 1600 series is a high-performance fixed port Layer 3 solution that provides the resilience, performance, and security required by today's application and competition-driven enterprise networks. Delivering application performance with proven reliability allows businesses to differentiate themselves with tools for everything from customer service to productivity or collaboration. Resiliency delivers maximum availability critical for bandwidth-sensitive and revenue-generating applications. Application performance decreases the chance that data will be dropped when traffic load increases on the switch. Security features provide added protection for switch configuration data, while packet filtering helps secure and segment sensitive traffic or network access.
