Introducing the PSFR-CP41 PSFR-CP41Benefits
Availability
With twounits, dual loop attachment provides redundancy and no single
point of failure.
Connectivity
SCSIdevices may be attached to Fibre Channel storage networks to share
data and increase address space.
Distance
SCSIcable length from hosts to devices is increased from 25m to 10,000m,
facilitatingremote or disaster tolerant sites.
Performance
100 Mbytes/secFibre Channel (200 Mbytes/sec bi-directional) offers
increasedbandwidth when distributing data across multiple SCSI devices.
Reliability
Lowerror rates, robust error recovery and flow control provide an enterprise
with reliabledata delivery.
Scalability
Point-to-pointlinks can be expanded to multi-initiator links supporting inter-
connected servers,tape dr ives,tape libraries, disk drives and disk arrays.
Flexibility
ThePSFR-CP41 allows Fibre Channel initiators to communicate with SCSI
targets, as wellas SCSI initiators to communicate with Fibre Channel
targets, simultaneously.
Consolidation
ThePSFR-CP41 allows multiple servers to share tape drives, tape libraries,
disk drivesand disk arrays.
Centralization
ThePSFR-C P41enables existing storage to be moved to a central location
to simplify management and maintenance,and to improve security.
Lower TCO
Improvingstorage management, maintenance and security can lower Total
Cost of Ownership(TCO) for enterpr isestorage.
