How HP SureStore AutoBackup manages capacity
Choosing the Correct Model
Each model provides a different capacity level and is designed to provide data
protection for a target number of clients for at least two years. A typical client, with a
20% growth requirement per year, is assumed to have 1.25 GB of unique data and 1.25
GB of shared data at the end of two years.
The HP SureStore AutoBackup PC25 contains a single disk and, with
compression, can comfortably provide protection for up to 60 GB of client
data. Typically, this product would support approximately 20-25 clients.
The HP SureStore AutoBackup PC100 contains two disks and, with
compression, can comfortably provide protection for up to 240 GB of client
data. Typically, this product would support approximately 75-100 clients.
If your clients' data protection requirements exceed these capacities or you need to
support more clients, you can install multiple appliances and control them from a
single Microsoft Management Console. The console can be downloaded from the Help
menu on the administration web pages (the same menu from which you accessed this
Administration Guide). The console is not described in this guide, but once you have
downloaded it, you will be able to access separate online documentation from the
console's Help menu.
Caution: You cannot extend capacity by adding additional internal disks, only by
adding an additional appliance to the network. Replacement hard disks can only be
supplied by Hewlett-Packard. Standard hard disk drives do not work.
