“We’re happy with the way our MSL5060 
tape library functions, so we decided to 
purchase an MSL6030 system, too. Both 
models use the same tapes, function 
similarly and have an identical upgrade 
path. We enjoy outstanding reliability with 
our HP StorageWorks tape libraries.” 
− Chris Beck, Network Administrator-Technology 
Services, City of Fontana, California 
and public works data reside in Microsoft SQL 
Server™ 2000 and 2005 databases on the EVA. 
Policy decision for HP libraries 
Fontana’s technology team backs up systems nightly to 
an HP StorageWorks MSL5060 tape library. A 
separate MSL6030 Tape Library supports the City’s 
police department. 
“We’re happy with the way our MSL5060 tape library 
functions,” says Beck, “so we decided to purchase an 
MSL6030 system, too. Both models use the same 
tapes, function similarly and have an identical 
upgrade path. We enjoy outstanding reliability with 
our HP StorageWorks tape libraries.” 
Even with a growing amount of data to protect, the 
staff completes full backups in just 12 hours over the 
weekend. The staff backs up police data from ProLiant 
servers to an MSA1500cs, duplicates the tapes using 
Veritas NetBackup Enterprise software and stores the 
tapes in an off-site vault. The City restricts access to the 
MSL6030 library in compliance with U.S. Department 
of Justice requirements governing the security of law 
enforcement data and police personnel clearances. To 
further guard against unauthorized access, in 2008 
the municipality will set up a separate police 
department data center, which will share the HP SAN. 
Accelerating backups are HP LTO Ultrium Data 
Cartridges. “We’ve always bought HP media, and we 
can use the cartridges in both libraries,” says Beck. 
“It’s easy to order the media from HP, and we get 
reliable media at a good price.” 
Great pricing is always on the radar of a city 
constantly striving to do more with less. Constant 
budget pressure prompts the Fontana technology team 
to embrace systems that deliver returns over the long 
term. Beck says, “HP is smart about adopting storage 
technologies that will stand the test of time. That 
protects the investments we make in HP storage.” 
A reliable slate of servers 
Fontana has relied on HP ProLiant servers since the late 
1990s, so it chose HP ProLiant DL360 G5 servers with 
Quad-Core Intel processors to ramp up performance 
for the new Pentamation ERP system. Three servers 
power ERP applications, while two operate as a 
database cluster. 
“We’ve had very good experience with ProLiant 
servers, so we went to the next iteration for the ERP 
environment,” Beck says. “They perform great, and the 
performance and monitoring tools that HP built into its 
ProLiant support package are outstanding.” 
The City counteracts unplanned downtime by enlisting 
HP for integrated hardware and software support for 
the SAN and Care Pack services for the servers. Says 
Beck, “When there is no business need to buy a new 
server and our hardware is functioning fine, we buy 
extended warranties. It’s a lot cheaper to pay a year 
of maintenance than to buy a new server. HP’s 
extended warranty support has been responsive. It’s 
nice to call up HP and have them take care of a server 
problem.”
