The Sun StorageTek Virtual Tape Library Plus 2.0 (VTL Plus 2.0) improves the performance of existing backup and recovery processes by presenting a multitude of virtual tape drive and library resources that can be deployed, managed, and monitored from a single point.
The intent of the power calculator is to provide guidance for estimating the electrical power consumption and heat dissipation for the virtual tape library system. This data represents a typical virtual tape library system functioning in a normal operating environment. It should not be used to calculate power or HVAC requirements.ยง Instead, please use the appropriate site planning guide to allow for proper allowances.
You MUST allow electrical and cooling headroom for unforeseen circumstances, component upgrades, and increased workloads. Please allow for worst-case power conditions. Actual power consumption will vary from the sample workload used in the power calculator. These include, but are not limited to, the factors below. Each of these factors may cause significant differences in power consumption. For precise results, actual measurements based upon the exact HW/SW/Environmental conditions are recommended.
