Our Dual sAIT Tape Subsystem
is part of GST’s SafeDR™ family. Dual drives generate
identical sets of backup cartridges so that one set can be
safeguarded remotely for disaster recovery while the other
set is retained onsite for faster restores; other tape functions
add off-line copy and cascading capabilities. An LCD panel
provides an advanced operator interface for visibility over
backup operations.
The Dual sAIT Tape Subsystem can backup a wide variety of
servers. They connect natively with LVD (low voltage differential),
HVD (high voltage differential), and FC (Fibre Channel) interfaces.
GST’s Dual sAIT Tape Subsystem is available in a variety
of models. Each sAIT technology is available in two server-to-SCSI
Adapter interfaces and one fibre interface:
. Maximum SCSI negotiation
of 160MB/s; the total server-to-storage peripheral connectivity
is 12 meters.
. Maximum SCSI negotiation
of 40MB/s; the total server-to-storage peripheral connectivity
is 25 meters.
. 2Gbit fibre interface.
Native capacities are 500GB (1.3TB compressed) with speeds
of 108GB/hour (281GB/hour compressed). A 4-generation roadmap
provides for a native capacity of 4TB per cartridge (10.4TB
compressed) and a transfer rate of up to 864GB/hour (2.25TB/hour
compressed).
This new sAIT tape technology platform
delivers high capacity and high performance using a half-inch,
single-reel tape and a 5.25-inch full-height mechanism design,
dramatically improving the value proposition between conventional
tape roadmaps and future hard disk drive capacity trends.
As a new class of tape solution, sAIT technology leapfrogs
conventional linear solutions, offering significant advantages
in capacity, performance, reliability, and scalability.
– sAIT drives are available with Write
Once Read Many (WORM) technology. WORM provides tamper-proof
data protection with non-rewriteable and non-erasable data
storage.
–
Mirrored backup capability produces simultaneous sets of
identical backup cartridges with no performance penalty;
this permits storage of one set off-site for better disaster
recovery and storage of the other set on-site for rapid
restore.
– Dual-drive configurations ensure
against drive failure since the second drive continues to
operate, ensuring the backup is completed successfully.
–
For dual-drive subsystems, key added tape functions include:
dual-drive mirroring for mirrored backups, off-line copying/verifying
with no processor penalty, and cascading to extend unattended
backup capacity by switching from one drive to the other
(doubling capacity).
– WORM technology supports compliance
with new government data storage regulations that apply
to the tamperproof safeguarding of data.
– Manages mirroring, off-line
copying, cascading, and the LCD Display Panel.
– Multi-function LCD Display
Panel continuously displays key drive and backup job conditions.
– RS232 interface for updating
firmware and optimizing drive performance.
– A variety of support programs
provide installation and onsite service; includes GST’s
Accelerated Ship Program (GASP) to get replacement units
on the scene rapidly.
– Purchase price includes a built-in manufacturer’s
warranty of three years.
