Operating Manual
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.
