High Performance for Faster Backups

Support for 2 gigabits/second Fibre Channel enables significantly faster tape reads and writes, which in turn speed operations for backup and restore. The Fibre Channel to SCSI router backups and restores existing data in significantly less time or increasingly larger data sets within the customers’ current backup window.
