Overview
At A Glance
• The Ultimate in High-Capacity
UnattendedBackup andRestore:
• The HP StorageWorks tape library
ESL9595S2provides the ultimate
in high-capacity unattended
backup and restore for customers
with large server poolsserviced by
network attached storage devices
or storage area networks. The
consolidation ofthe enterprise’s
data into a single shared storage
device requiresthat these devices
provide both high capacityand
high performance. With the
consolidation ofbackup data into a
single device also comesthe
increased need for redundancy
and high availability. The
ESL9595S2 can provide yearsof
fully automated operation for
backup, save and restore, and
hierarchical storage management
of critical data when coupled with
a variety ofqualified industry
standard backup application
solutions. With 400/500/595 slots
and up to 16 Hewlett-Packard
SDLT 160/320GB drives, the
ESL9595S2offersup to 95.2 TB

The ESL9595S2 comes as either a 400, 500 or 595 slot library system configured with the associated number of
drives, installation and user’s manual, one-piece SDLT media, a copy of the Hewlett-Packard Storage
Management Solutions CD. Customers are required to also purchase the necessary number of host bus
adapters, SCSI cables, SDLT media, country specific power cords (pair), and applications software licenses in
order to complete the library solution.
Due to the size and weight of the unit, a pre- sales site survey is required. The pre- sales site survey document is
on http://www.compaq.com/support/techpubs/installation_guides/146587-001.html.
NOTE: The ESL9595S2 is three inches wider than the ESL9326.
Installation services can be ordered separately on Hewlett-Packard Services as part of each library order (requires
scheduling with local Hewlett-Packard Services provider).
NOTE: Does not include special site work, which may be required as a result of not meeting minimum site survey
requirements.
The ESL9000 Enterprise Library
Family The tape libraryESL9595S2 is part of the Hewlett-Packard ESL9000 class enterprise library family. With its high
availability feature set, the ESL9000 family provides for maximum uptime. Based on PCI backplane architecture,
the ESL9000 series libraries also provide a simple upgrade path for future “plug-in” feature upgrades.
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 ESL9595S2 offers the best in high availability for continuous operation.
Hot Pluggable Drives The ESL9595S2 uses hot pluggable drive carriers, allowing drives 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 ESL9595S2 accepts only library ready drives specifically modified for use in the ESL9000 series
libraries.
Proven Reliability Using SDLT 160/320 GB tape drives, and proven library robotics with a rating of 2,000,000 load/unload cycles, the
ESL9595S2 provides the necessary high reliability.

Standard Features
SDLT Technology Digital Linear Tape uses a proven linear recording technology, a highly accurate tape guide system, and a read
after write correction system to provide high-capacity, high reliability data backup and restoration. DLT has fast
become the industry standard secondary storage tape format for departmental and enterprise backup. The new
generation SDLT tape drive, in addition to enhanced capacity and backup performance provides advantages
several new features such as Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR™) technology, Pivoting Optical Servo
(POS), Magneto-Resistive Cluster Heads (MRC), Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) channel
technology and Backward Read Compatible with earlier generation of DLT drives, to be able to read media written
in DLT IV format.
Manageability The ESL9595S2 configurations are fully supported through Insight Manager, providing information to
administrators for both robotic, tape status changes, and fault status of redundant components (high availability
fault status requires use of Insight Manager v7.0. HP TSMC (tape storage management console) software
provides diagnostics and easy firmware upgrade capabilities. Other data and automation manageability features,
including multi-host direct connectivity, are provided via specific third-party applications software packages.
Warranty One year parts exchange, one year on-site next day service
