POTOMAC iSCSI Bridge (Ethernet to SCSI)
ES1100 and ES2400
Cost Effective
Solutions
With the advent of iSCSI (ethernet to SCSI), and its use of TCP/IP as
the transport
mechanism, it is now possible for any organisation to gain all the
benefits that a SAN can bring to data management by using their
existing network technology. Because TCP/IP is a widely used and
understood, there is no need to employ additional personnel or staff
training programs to manage the infrastructure.
The Potomac ES1100 and ES2400 iSCSI bridges reduce the cost
of implementing an iSCSI
based SAN by providing iSCSI to SCSI connectivity. This functionality
allows organisations to retain existing investment in SCSI based
storage devices by bringing them into the SAN.
Simply Plug n' Play
The plug n' play Potomac family is extremely easy to implement and use.
The web based in-band GUI ensures users trouble free operation and
configuration. With native support for disk, tape, optical and media
changer devices, the Potomac range of products offers users maximum
flexibility for all their storage needs.
Potomac ES1100 iSCSI
Bridge
The ES1100 Bridge has been designed to give a cost effective
solution for customers who wish to include their legacy SCSI devices in
an iSCSI network The Potomac Bridge gives a cost effective alternative
to the use of full performance, high end bridging solutions. With a
sustained performance capability of 90MB/s combined with its very
compact size, it is at equally at home on the desk top connected to a
tape device as a remote backup device, or in the server rack connected
to a departmental Autoloader.
Potomac ES2400 enterprise
iSCSI
Bridge
The ES2400 offers all the features of the ES1100, but with
2 x Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 x Ultra 160 SCSI ports in the same 1U
enclosure.
VMwareTM
The ES1100 and ES2400 are perfect for use with the latest version of
VMwareTM, which no longer supports directly attached SCSI and
SAS tape drives. TheES1100 and ES2400 make it easy to use
standard SCSI drives.
