Prism Storage Options

Fibre Channel Option for Storage Area Networks

The P2000 Series library is able to plug directly and

immediately into Storage Area Networks (SANs),

providing significant performance and availability

benefits. A SAN is a special purpose network that

incorporates multiple servers with high performance

network technologies -- usually Fibre Channel -- as its

central means to link servers to storage devices.

Storage devices typically found on a SAN include RAID

arrays and tape libraries.

With its Prism Storage Architecture, ATL has pioneered

a new class of open, intelligent storage subsystems that

incorporate industry-standard PCI and CPCI expansion

buses to support advanced features such as Fibre

Channel connectivity. The P2000 uses Prism

technology coupled with an internal SCSI-to-Fibre-Channel

bridge to quickly connect to a SAN. ATL's SAN Certification

Lab tests, certifies and documents popular SAN hardware

and software combinations with ATL products to aid

customers in successful library SAN implementations.

The embedded Prism Fibre Channel option provides

numerous benefits including:

§ Support for longer distance between servers and a tape library - up to 10 kilometers away!

§ Easy library sharing across multiple host systems storage management

§ High performance for rapid data recovery and backups

§ Scales as your performance needs grow

§ Reduced total cost of ownership via more effective management and improved scalability

§ Connects to most Fibre Channel topologies including hubs and switched fabric
