Qualstar SANSmart Fibre Channel Option

TLS-Series SANSmart automated tape libraries are
ideally suited to Storage Area Network (SAN) applications, especially
the latest serverless backup storage management applications ARCserve
2000. Storage Area Networks are sub-nets that enable key storage
resources like tape libraries and storage arrays to be shared among
multiple servers and clients without impacting the "primary"
network. SAN provide separate, dedicated high-speed pathways tailored
specifically to storage access and storage management.
Serverless backup uses the SCSI extended copy command
to control data transfers between storage devices on the SAN without
the backup data passing through the backup server. Backup time is
shortened and the load on the backup server is greatly reduced.
SAN technology, based on Fibre Channel, is being
adopted by other storage management applications, including video
serving, image and document archives, and storage migration.
Twenty-seven TLS-Series tape library models support
up to 12 tape drives, delivering data transfer rates exceeding 1.2
terabytes per hour and storage capacities from 300 gigabytes to
over 60 terabytes.
The SAN will deliver high transfer speeds, improved
availability, and enhanced application performance. SAN architectures
eliminate constraints of distance, scalability, and connectivity.
The SANSmart Fibre Channel Option (FCO) delivers
the performance and connectivity that SAN backup tape library applications
require. Single and dual FCOs are supported to speed backup data
flow.
