Product Highlights

Combines the best of
tape and disk

The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System is based on removable disk technology that
handles and operates like a traditional tape drive and media, yet has all of the advantages of disk­to-disk backup. The HP RDX removable disk solution allows for backups to be accomplished with
the included "hands free" HP RDX continuous data protection software, standard ISV backup
applications or data can be dragged and dropped directly to the rugged removable storage media.
To the host computer, the HP RDX removable disk cartridge appears as a Windows drive letter
with the high performance benefits of a disk based backup system.

Easy to implement and
use

Many micro or small business customers have limited time, knowledge, experience or desire to
dedicate to backup and therefore currently have no or only rudimentary backup processes in
place. The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System offers these customers a complete backup
solution that is simple to implement and easy to use.

Installation is an easy and quick process of connecting the industry standard form factor HP RDX
USB docking station either internally to a server or externally as a tabletop. Backing up is a simple
matter of inserting a removable disk cartridge into the docking station. The cartridge will
automatically show up as a letter drive in Windows explorer with no extra formatting or extra steps
required. Simply select the files that need to be protected and drag them into the removable drive
folder. To restore files, just reverse the process.

For a hands free backup experience use the included HP RDX continuous data protection backup
software designed for ease of use and complete workstation and server backup protection. Key
features of the HP RDX continuous data protection software include continuous data protection,
data deduplication, bare metal restore, seamless cartridge rotation and archiving support, simple
file recovery, complete backup coverage (unlimited file versions, open files, application data user
settings and the complete operating system are all automatically backed up), and comprehensive
backup status updates. Scheduled backups can be performed through support for standard ISV
backup applications.

Fast backup and
restore

Staff productivity and thus customer service can be negatively impacted by the lengthening
backup window and restore/recovery times associated with optical backup solutions. The HP RDX
Removable Disk Backup System provides a backup solution that backs up and retrieves data
quickly and reliably thus optimizing application availability and staff productivity.

Data can be backed up to RDX cartridges at hard drive speeds (up to 108 GB/hour). HP RDX
cartridges are randomly accessed and read so critical single files and selected file stores can be
restored in seconds instead of hours.

Affordable cost of
ownership

Many micro or small business customers have limited IT budget available for data protection with
business owners wanting to minimize IT capital and operational expenditure and protect IT
investments to optimize business profitability. The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System
provides a complete backup solution that has low initial acquisition costs and low on-going media
and upgrade costs.

Total cost of ownership is minimized by the fact that HP RDX cartridges are specified for 5,000
insertion/removal cycles, so HP RDX cartridges will not wear out (and therefore need to be
replaced) over the typical life cycle of the solution. Upgrade and obsolescence costs are also
reduced and investment protection guaranteed by the fact that HP RDX docking stations are
compatible with all current and future higher capacity RDX cartridges. Customers will not need to
purchase a new docking station when next generation higher capacity RDX cartridges are
released. Similarly, today's RDX cartridges are compatible with all current and future HP RDX
docking stations. Customer's existing RDX cartridges will work with next generation HP RDX
docking stations when they are released.

Removability and
portability

To ensure complete data protection against all types of data loss - including on-site system/site
destruction or natural disaster - small businesses need the ability to remove their backup and
archive data off-site. The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System provides a backup solution
that enables on-site backup data to be removed, stored and rotated off-site in an easy, safe and
secure way.

HP RDX cartridges are portable (palm size), durable (2.5" disk drive features include ramp loading
heads, fluid dynamic bearings, inactive state spin down) and rugged (designed and proven to
withstand a 3 feet (one metre drop) onto concrete). The robust HP RDX cartridge is also designed
to protect data from potentially damaging Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and as well as prolonged
exposure to heat, dust and other environmental contaminants.

Reliability and
archivability

The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System provides a docking station specified for more than
10,000 load and unloads and an HP RDX cartridge specified for over 5,000 load and unloads and
long life expectancy.

Easy scalability and
expandability

Many growing micro and small businesses are experiencing storage capacity growth that is
outstripping the capacity/performance of current optical backup solutions. The HP RDX
Removable Disk Backup System provides a backup solution that scales easily as capacity needs
grow. Adding capacity is a simple matter of adding cartridges to an existing HP RDX USB docking
station. The HP RDX Docking Station will work with all current as well future higher capacity
cartridges as they are introduced. The product's roadmap leverages the industry standard mobile

2.5" hard disk drive roadmaps with new higher capacity cartridges expected to be introduced on
an annual basis.
