Introducing the PSFR-CP41

PSFR-CP41 Benefits

Availability

With two units, dual loop attachment provides redundancy and no single point of failure.

Connectivity

SCSI devices may be attached to Fibre Channel storage networks to share data and increase address space.

Distance

SCSI cable length from hosts to devices is increased from 25m to 10,000m, facilitating remote or disaster tolerant sites.

Performance

100 Mbytes/sec Fibre Channel (200 Mbytes/sec bi-directional) offers increased bandwidth when distributing data across multiple SCSI devices.

Reliability

Low error rates, robust error recovery and flow control provide an enterprise with reliable data delivery.

Scalability

Point-to-point links can be expanded to multi-initiator links supporting inter- connected servers, tape drives, tape libraries, disk drives and disk arrays.

Flexibility

The PSFR-CP41 allows Fibre Channel initiators to communicate with SCSI targets, as well as SCSI initiators to communicate with Fibre Channel targets, simultaneously.

Consolidation

The PSFR-CP41 allows multiple servers to share tape drives, tape libraries, disk drives and disk arrays.

Centralization

The PSFR-CP41 enables existing storage to be moved to a central location to simplify management and maintenance, and to improve security.

Lower TCO

Improving storage management, maintenance and security can lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for enterprise storage.
