Description
8100T for scalable network deployments of SAS Tape Drives (LTO etc)
XstreamCORE ET 8100T is an accelerated intelligent bridging device that shares up to four SAS tape drives over a 10Gb iSCSI Ethernet network. Ideal for both smaller deployments of up to four drives per bridge and large-scale deployments that involve multiple bridges, 8100T streamlines backup, archive and cold storage workflows by overcoming the limitations of a pure SAS architecture.
8100T leverages ATTO Distributed Software Architecture, a self-optimizing OS designed for storage applications. This architecture prioritizes transaction efficiency and high-performance memory management, ultimately maximizing storage application performance.
What does XstreamCORE 8100 do?
Enables Ethernet connectivity to SAS tape drives maximizing drive shareability and utilization. Allows SAS tape devices to participate in an iSCSI fabric. Small and portable therefore equally as useful in the field as they are on a desktop or in a server room. Automatic tape drive mapping via a simple management console for quick set-up and easy operation. Operating system independent. Attach any SAS Tape drive to a 10Gb Ethernet network and share it across the network as if it were direct attached.
