Overview
Two or more Servers share a SCSI Tape Library
- Share SCSI Devices between Multiple Hosts to maximise the peripheral investment.
- Can be used to provide failover or failsafe protection when sharing SCSI RAID or Tape Libraries between an active host and a dormant host.
- As a low cost alternative to a SAN
- Use A SCSI Switch to extend the SCSI bus length beyond the 20 M limit
- Matrix Switches 2X2, 3X2 and 4X2 available
- 160 Mbytes/sec Bandwidth
- SCSI busses are totally isolated from each other, re-timed and regenerated, so that they can run the full length in either direction
- Each Bus segment is individually terminated. LVD busses have multi-mode termination
- SCSI bus type - LVD, HVD or SE SCSI, or a mixture of these busses in the Switch
- Choose the method of controlling the Switch - Dynamic Switching, Manual control, control over the Network as a Network device, or Automatic Control via the SCSI bus itself or via a serial bus
- Bus Switching maintains correct termination, and only occurs at SCSI bus free
- Suitable for HVD, LVD or SE SCSI, or a mixture of these
- Rackmount or Desktop versions available
- Complete hardware-only solution- no software required
