optical jukeboxes & changers

Offering customers flexibility and choice with innovative and industry leading archival solutions

Your application storage environment is growing. Applications that were never intended to be filing cabinets of reference information have become digital landfills. But the information is valuable and you do not want to throw it away because you might need it. HP offers customers the flexibility needed to archive valuable, albeit less accessed, information assets with the choice of archiving to our industry leading optical-based solutions or our latest solution, active archiving to HP StorageWorks Reference Information Storage System (RISS). Whether you need fast access to archived content with RISS or permanent, nearline storage at a much reduced cost with HP StorageWorks Optical Jukebox portfolio, HP has you covered.

The HP StorageWorks Optical 1000ux/1900ux/2300ux Jukeboxes provide medium-sized to enterprise-level customers, cost-effective, removable storage of 1.0 TB to 2.3 TB in WORM or rewritable format.

The mid-range of the product family, the HP StorageWorks Optical 1000ux/1900ux/2300ux Jukeboxes provide medium-sized business to enterprise-level customers with cost-effective, removable storage of 1.0 TB to 2.3 TB in either WORM or rewritable format. Along with standard Low Voltage Differential SCSI (LVDS) interface, these products can provide fibre connectivity when combined with the HP StorageWorks Network Storage Router N1200 or M2402. Customers can purchase the entry level Optical 1000ux Jukebox and upgrade with kits from HP to the 1900ux. The 1900ux has the ability to have a mixed drive configuration (two Magneto-Optical and two Ultra Density Optical drives) for those with legacy Magneto-Optical environments. The Optical 2300ux Jukebox is a specific point product in the mid-range for those needing higher storage capacities in a mid-sized jukebox. Contact your ISV software manufacturer to ensure mixed drive and fibre support.
