The ESL9000 Series Library
Family
HP StorageWorks ESL9000 series of DLT libraries offer customers both high performance and high reliability.
With its high availability feature set, the ESL9000 series provides for maximum uptime. Based on PCI backplane
architecture, the ESL9000 series also provides a simple upgrade path for future “plug-in” features. The
ESL9322S2 library is part of the ESL9000 series libraries.
High Availability
As data becomes more and more mission critical, and downtime becomes more costly to the enterprise,
customers are requiring high availability consolidated storage solutions which offer hot swappable components
and redundancies of key operating sub-systems (tape drives, controllers, power supplies). With redundant power
distribution, power supplies, and cooling fans, coupled with “hot pluggable” drive carriers, hot swap power supplies
and cooling fan modules, the ESL9322S2 offers the best in high availability for continuous operation.
Hot Pluggable Drives
The ESL9322S2 uses hot pluggable drive carriers, allowing drive replacement and additional drives to be added
for capacity expansion without interrupting backup and restore functions. These hot pluggable drive trays allow for
easy scalability of performance, as well as provide an easy upgrade path towards future drive technologies.
NOTE: The ESL9322S2 accepts only library ready drives specifically modified for use in the ESL9322S2 library.
Proven Reliability
Using SDLT 160/320 tape drives, and proven library robotics with a rating of 2,000,000 load/unload cycles, the
ESL9322S2 provides the necessary high reliability.
