Description
This chapter describes the SNC (Storage Networking Controller) 4000.
Overview
The Scalar 24 enables customers to use and manage the library in a storage area network, via an integrated
SNC 4000. When configured as a storage networking library, the Scalar 24 delivers the following
functionality:
•
The ability to create separate data paths between heterogeneous hosts library and components
(drives and/or media changer) using Scalar Firewall Manager (SFM). SFM allows the zoning of
resources so that hosts are restricted to seeing only storage they need. This endpoint security is
standard in ADIC storage networking libraries and is OS, HBA, and switch/hub independent.
Heterogeneous support also enables multiple hosts with varying OSs and backup applications to
access the same library.
•
End-to-end path verification between the library and open system host interfaces that enables
administrators to discover and remedy path failures before the library is needed for backup
applications.
•
Drive performance optimization to eliminate protocol bridging latencies and keep drives streaming
by pre-fetching data and overlapping commands via an ADIC patent-pending technique.
•
Serverless backup via an integrated Data Mover Module.
One possible configuration of the of the SNC 4000 is illustrated in
