High performance storage Czech Telecom's Directory Assistance database is large, approximately 68 gigabytes, necessitating high-performance storage. Kloucek says that Czech Telecom had two primary storage requirements, and that Compaq StorageWorks met them both. Compaq StorageWorks solutions provide twice the performance of normal SCSI-2 disks and are very flexible. The StorageWorks tape drives are as easy to work with as the disks and controllers. Czech Telecom is using 70 gigabyte DLT drives and has reduced backup time for the entire 68-gigabyte system from several hours down to a few minutes.
