Pro snadnou konfiguraci zálohovacího softwaru HP DataProtector Express použijte konfiguračního průvodce, který je ke stažení

Dataprotector Express - Novinky ve verzi 4.0

1. podpora Windows serveru 2008
2. zjednodušení a zlevnění licenčního modelu
3. automatický softwarový update na straně agentů a backup serveru


Významnou výhodou je, že není nutné již dokupovat licence media serveru. Počet média serverů rovněž není omezen což znamená, že v případe D2D Backup Systemu lze zálohovat současně na všechny virtuální páskové zařízení. Licence média serveru je součástí licence pro zálohu serverů po síti (Network Backup agent (BB121BA a BB122BA)).
V případě zálohy MS Small Business Serveru je možné využít speciální edici (BB118BA), která již obsahuje licence pro on-line zálohu MS Exchange a SQL serveru.


Konkurenční upgrade (Competitive Upgrade) je možný pouze v případě, že uživatel použivá ekvivalentni produkty typu Symantec Backup Exec nebo od Computer Associates BrightStore ARCserver. Dukaz o vlastnictví těchto produktů bude vyžadován při registraci a získání instalačního klíče.

Native SAS – Serial Attached SCSI


As its name suggests, SAS delivers a new generation of technology based on a development of the classic SCSI interface. First introduced in May 2002, the SAS interface leverages the proven SCSI protocol to deliver new levels of scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness for today's system connectivity, data transport, and data storage.


HP has introduced DAT 160 with a native SAS interface that allows customers to directly connect and backup SAS configured servers and take advantage of the latest connectivity trends.


Why SAS?

For over 20 years, the parallel bus interface has been the mainstream storage interconnect for most storage systems. While technologies like parallel SCSI meet most performance requirements of today's enterprise solutions, continued demands for higher speeds, increasingly robust data integrity, smaller designs and wider standardization have cast doubt on the ability of parallel technologies to economically keep pace with increasing CPU processing power and disk drive speeds. SAS is the new evolution of SCSI technology designed to overcome the limitations of the SCSI architecture and delivers a number of benefits to enterprise systems:

New levels of performance – SAS is capable of moving data at speeds of up to 3Gigabits per second, with a clear roadmap to 12Gbs in the future. A SAS connection can support four SAS wide lanes or potentially 4 x 300MB/s per connection.

Increased availability – another benefit of SAS-based storage subsystems is the native dual port capability of each SAS drive, providing a redundant path to each drive in the event of a controller failover. In addition, since each drive is on a separate point-to-point connection, losing a drive connection only affects a single drive. Compare this to parallel SCSI in which losing a bus affects all the drives on the bus. Point-to-point also means that each device has the ability to connect multiple initiators, allowing peripherals to be shared between several servers.


Greater flexibility – probably the best known benefit of SAS for external storage is its configuration flexibility. A SATA drive can be plugged into a SAS mid-plane without any modifications or changes, the controller and the software will seamlessly support a system with a mix of SATA and SAS disk drives.

Why choose a SAS interface DAT drive?


The above benefits of SAS explain why system manufacturers, including HP, are rapidly moving to SAS interfaces to connect internal peripherals. Customers purchasing a HP DAT Tape Drive with native SAS interface can benefit from:

Wide availability of SAS ports – SAS interfaces are now widely available on servers and systems. Furthermore with server I/O bus technology moving from PCI-X to PCI-Express (PCI-e), customers may find it difficult to obtain Parallel SCSI host bus adapters for the PCI-Express bus.

Increased flexibility – SAS has the ability to connect multiple initiators, allowing the tape drive to be shared between several servers.

Investment protection – this new generation interface is supported by a robust multi-vendor roadmap and already boasts a clear future out to 12GB/s.



Installing SAS tape drives


HP StorageWorks SAS tape drives are available as internal and external models. Both models are supplied with a special split cable that allows you to connect to an internal port (if available) on the embedded SAS controller inside the server. While connection via the split cable provides the most cost-effective way of connecting the tape drive to an HP ProLiant server, this will require a clear understanding of your server's current SAS configuration before installing.

For the most up-to-date information about recommended SAS HBAs and supported cabling configurations with your make and model of server, always refer to http://www.hp.com/go/connect. A full installation guide is included with the product.
