Overview:
As the entry point for HP’s Ultrium tape drive family the HP StorageWorks Ultrium 215 tape drive offers super drive capacity in a compact half-height form factor that makes it easy to integrate into desktop workstations and servers. An ideal solution for network backup where capacity and low cost of ownership are critical the Ultrium 215 stores 200 GB of compressed data on a single tape at up to 54 GB per hour. The tape drive uses data rate matching to adjust to the speed of the host reducing wear and tear on both drive and media and increasing performance even on slower hosts. The highly reliable HP leader-capture mechanism will increase the success of backup and restore operations compared to previous solutions.
