Compaq StorageWorks
Enterprise Backup Solution
Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS)
Exponential growth of information has led to an enormous volume of data stored across enterprise networks. IT
organizations are finding that backing up and restoring data is becoming more and more challenging. Compaq
customers using Microsoft Windows NT/2000, Novell NetWare, Compaq Tru64 UNIX or Sun Solaris™ servers need a
scalable, high-performance solution to meet their present and future data storage backup and restoration
requirements. The Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) provides a unique solution to the backup
dilemma by providing a consolidated backup of multiple servers over a high speed, independent Fibre Channel
storage network to centrally attached SCSI tape libraries.
Compaq understands that customers have a variety of product and solution needs based on price, performance, total
cost of ownership, lower management costs, future scalability, and investment protection. To that end, Compaq has
segmented EBS to fit various market segments. The Compaq StorageWorks EBS family segmentation will help
provide customers with a quick understanding of which EBS solution is right for their needs.
EBS for Workgroups
EBS for Workgroups is an entry level, Fibre Channel data protection solution for up to seven Compaq ProLiant or x86
servers in Windows NT/2000 and NetWare environments. EBS for Workgroups provides the option of configuring a
backup solution with either a Fibre Channel hub, or a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop switch.
Using an FC arbitrated loop switch, is support of the RA4100 SAN which allows AIT or DLT libraries to be
consolidated with disk products on the same Storage Area Network (SAN).
Using Fibre Channel hubs, EBS for Workgroups provides cost-effective solution bundles, EBS ARCPaq with
Computer Associates ARCserve™ or EBS BackPaq with VERITAS Backup Exec™, at a fraction of the cost of the
existing investment.
EBS for Departments
EBS for Departments is a data protection solution that helps shrink backup windows and reduce management costs
for customers with 6 to 20 ProLiant or x86 servers in Windows NT/2000 and NetWare environments. With EBS for
Departments customers may employ single or cascaded 12-port fibre channel hubs to consolidate backup to a
centralized library, or they may look to consolidate tape and disk resources on a fabric switch-based Storage Area
Network (SAN) with the new low-cost StorageWorks Fibre Channel Switch EL-8.
Providing the backbone for a full fabric switched SAN for Windows NT, Windows 2000 and/or NetWare environments,
EBS SANPaq includes the FC SAN Switch 8-EL, the Modular Data Router, and 5 licenses of backup software with
SAN-enabling options. Part of the EBS for Departments product segment, SANPaq with Computer Associates
ARCserve and SANPaq with VERITAS Backup Exec are perfect for storage resellers who want an off-the-shelf
solution to begin deploying SANs. SANPaq allows resellers to provide added consulting services and take advantage
of software option and upgrade sales without the pricing barriers normally associated with SANs.
EBS for Data Centers
The Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) for Data Centers is a Fibre Channel backup and
restore solution targeted towards those customers looking to consolidate their data protection schemes across multi-
vendor platforms and heterogeneous operating systems. The solution leverages the Compaq Fibre Channel 8 or 16
port FC switch and offers a customer the first Compaq SAN solution - marrying disk and tape in the same Fibre
Channel domain.
The Enterprise Backup Solution for Data Centers allows multiple Windows NT/2000, Tru64 Unix, and Sun Solaris
servers, attached to a Fibre Channel switch, to share a SCSI DLT or AIT Library. In addition to this device-sharing
feature, servers maintain the ability to transfer data directly to the attached tape devices and will therefore continue to
experience the high data transfer rates needed to keep DLT or AIT drives streaming during backup or restore - a key
to maximum performance.
