HP StorageWorks RDX Overview and Features

THE SIMPLE WAY TO PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS DATA

• Backup made easy: The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System drag-and-drop file access makes backup as simple and convenient as the click of a mouse. For a “hands-free” backup experience, use the HP RDX Continuous Data Protection Software designed for ease-of-use and with complete workstation and server backup protection.
• Spend less time on backups: Backup data at fast hard drive speeds (up to 108 GB/hr) and restore critical files in seconds instead of hours with random disk access.
• Easy scalability and expandability: Flexibly meet your budget and capacity requirements with a choice of 160 GB, 320 GB, 500 GB, or 1 TB removable disk cartridges. Scaling capacity is simply a matter of adding cartridges.
• Plug-and-play implementation: Easily connect the USB docking station internally to a server, rack‑mount kit, or externally as a tabletop. Insert a removable disk cartridge into the docking station and the cartridge automatically appears as a letter drive in Windows Explorer with no extra steps or formatting.

REDUCES TOTAL COST OF PROTECTING YOUR BUSINESS DATA

• Affordable cost of ownership: Lower on-going media and upgrade costs with disk cartridges designed for long usage life.
• Future proof: The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System docking station is designed to work with all current and future higher capacity removable disk cartridges so the system is fully multi-generational.

SIMPLY AND SECURELY STORE BACKUPS OFFSITE FOR COMPLETE DATA PROTECTION

• Rugged removability: Rugged, portable, and durable removable disk cartridges enable business critical backup data to be simply and securely taken offsite for disaster recovery, archiving, or data transfer.
