whitepaper Tape Consolidation With the Sun Storagetek L1400 Tape Library - Achieving Midrange Storage Efficiencies: An Overview and Comparison With the Quantum Scalar i20002007-09-01 Sun Microsystems
  This paper introduces general tape consolidation concepts and describes the Sun StorageTek L1400 tape library features that support consolidation. Consolidation benefits fall into three key areas: improved IT productivity, the ability to respond quickly to changing business priorities, and lowered TCO through increased asset utilization. In support of these areas, the StorageTek L1400 tape library delivers superior growth capability, simple library sharing, high performance, excellent TCO, and high reliability - all supported by world-class service. By way of illustration, the paper provides a general comparison of the StorageTek L1400 consolidation support to Quantum's Scalar i2000.

whitepaper Leading German University Graduates to NetApp Virtual Tape Libraries, Completely Eliminates Tape Backups0000-00-00 NetApp
  Founded in 1829, the University of Stuttgart is one of the leading technical universities in Germany, offering a comprehensive range of subjects with a focus on technical disciplines. The university wanted to shorten the backup window. The challenge was to improve speed and reliability of restores and reduce the total cost of ownership for backup and restore infrastructure. By replace aging tape library and 8,000 cartridges with NetApp VTL1400 systems the university upgraded storage infrastructure to multi-tiered storage using NetApp hardware and software.

whitepaper HP LTO3 Ultrium Data Cartridges Comparative Brand Testing White Paper2007-04-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  IT managers may not be able to see the difference, but the tests prove that users of HP LTO3 Ultrium data cartridges could obtain twice the data capacity per backup and significantly greater reliability, with up to three times as many continuously successful backup and restore cycles from HP branded LTO3 Ultrium data cartridges. If a person think that an HP LTO3 Ultrium cartridge may cost a little more than a competing brand, the reality is that it may actually be nearly 50% less.

whitepaper The Truth About Tape - Nine Myths to Reconsider2007-02-21 Clipper Group
  It has been more than 55 years since the first commercially available tape drive was marketed to data centers. Tape drives today do not look at all like those first drives. Engineering developments through out the years have brought faster, more reliable, and higher capacity media and drives and the development shows no sign of abating. Tape's role in addressing compliance with WORM, data retention with archive, data security with encryption, data protection with safely-removable cartridges and TCO with low acquisition and operation costs is strategic in the storage hierarchy.

whitepaper xwave Reduces Offsite Tape Inventory by 73% and Eliminates Cost of Duplicate Disaster Recovery Hardware Using BrightStor CA-Vtape Virtual Tape System0000-00-00 CA (Computer Associates)
  Experiencing an annual data-storage growth rate of 15 percent, xwave faced a shortage of physical tape space at its offsite vaulting facility. The company had already consolidated three data centers into one; the next step was finding a more space-efficient way to vault data. The company decided on a virtual tape solution for offsite vaulting. Because the vaulting site was to be used for disaster recovery, xwave needed to store offsite data several kilometers away from the company's main data center. After reviewing products from a number of different vendors, xwave chose BrightStor CA-Vtape Virtual Tape System (BrightStor CA-Vtape) from Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA).

whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape Backup and Recovery With System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) and Quantum (Level 200)0000-00-00 Microsoft
  As Information Technology (IT) infrastructures continue to grow, it becomes more difficult to implement a reliable, timely backup and recovery system. This webcast explains how Microsoft is partnering with Quantum to deliver the DPM5500, an appliance based on Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) that is an integrated disk-to-disk-to-tape backup and recovery solution. The DPM5500 extends the traditional client/server backup paradigm by offering freedom to recover data regardless of media type or origin, and with far more specific options for recovery point objectives.

whitepaper IBM System Storage and TotalStorage Attached Tape Subsystem Network Connectivity and Security2007-02-01 IBM
  The IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library, and IBM TotalStorage 3494 Library family includes several external interfaces not directly associated with data paths. Rather, those interfaces are associated with library control, service, and status information. These interfaces support customer interaction and / or feedback, as well as attachment to IBM remote support infrastructure for product service and support. This paper will describe these interfaces, and discuss related security considerations.

whitepaper Accelerating Backup/Restore With Sun StorageTek Virtual Tape Library: Selecting an Optimized, Secure Configuration to Fit Your Environment2007-02-01 Sun Microsystems
  Virtual Tape Libraries have many benefits to an organization. From the ability to emulate more tape drives than a physical tape library, to allowing multiple backup streams to run simultaneously, thus enabling organizations to easily complete their backups within their allotted window. The choice to implement a virtual tape library solution is a simple one. This white paper will help one choose the right VTL configuration for their business.
