Achieving New Storage Backup Performance Levels

Overview While IT professionals agree that there is no substitute for performing regular data backups, conventional tape backups are generally slow and must often be accomplished during specific backup windows to minimize performance degradation issues or the "open file problem." This is increasingly unacceptable as more and more enterprises push for 24x7 systems availability. Fortunately, tape libraries are becoming more robust to meet the demands of modern computing environments. Download this white paper to read the results of benchmark experiments that demonstrate the performance advances that are possible with HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460 Enterprise Class Libraries.
