| Maximum
SCSI Tape Performance and Highest Data Availability! |
Striper
2 |
|
|
 |
Designed for Host Systems
& Drives with SCSI SE Interfaces |
|
The Striper 2 is fast,
flexible and
highly reliable. This high-end tape
array controller features: |
|
|
| Increased Performance
– data is striped across five
independent parallel array channels. Data transfer rate, as well as search speed, is
increased by as much as four times the speed of a single tape drive. |
|
| Increased
Data Availability – parity information stored
on a parity drive is used to recover data if a tape
containing data cannot be read. Read and write
operations continue in the event of a drive or media
failure. |
|
| Data Reconstruction
– recreate data previously written to a failed drive or
unreadable media. |
|
| Data
Scrambling – a high speed programmable switch
matrix allows the insertion of the "stripe set
tape cartridges" in any order for ease of tape
management. |
|
| Graphical User Interface
– the GUI (Optional) incorporates full, on-line and
off-line controller configuration and diagnostics under
Wind95 and NT operating systems.. |
|
| Plug
Compatibility – The tape array controller is
presented to the host as a single SCSI tape drive
providing "plug and play" with host systems supporting
SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 tape protocols. |
|
| Robotics
Support – compatible with existing autoloader
and library software in both striping and mirroring
modes of operation. |
|
|
| Operating Modes Include: |
|
| Data Striping – across
2 or 4 drives with or
without an additional parity drive. Data transfer rate is increased by a factor of
two or four respectively. |
|
| Mirroring –
simplifies Disaster Recovery Plans by writing the same
"data" to up to five separate drives simultaneously. |
|
| Pass-thru –
allows direct accessing of individual
drives within the array. |
|
| Offline Copy, Copy/Verify and
Verification Only
– provides high speed media duplication and
verification operations initiated from the GUI or
front panel without host system intervention. |
|
| Offline Diagnostics
– performs drive read and write tests initiated
from the GUI or front panel. |

|
| Host Interface |
| Single-Ended (SE) Interface or High Voltage Differential
(HVD) Interface - The host interface provides connection between
the array controller and the SCSI host system.
It conforms to the SCSI-2 protocol while maintaining
compatibility with SCSI-1, 8/16 bit SCSI. Fast
ULTRA synchronous
transfers combined with wide transfers allows for a
maximum of 40 MB/sec sustained data transfer rate. |
|
| Array Interface |
| Single-Ended (SE) Interface -
The array interface provides interconnection between the
array controller and SCSI tape drives. It consists
of five independent parallel wide SCSI channels, up to
four channels are used for data and 1 channel is
optionally used for parity, 8 bit SCSI. The
fast synchronous
transfers combined with wide transfers allows for a
maximum of 10 MB/sec sustained data transfer rate. Compatible with all
SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 tape drives including 4mm, 8mm, VHS,
Reel/Reel, 3480, AIT, DLT, SDLT, LTO and IBM 3480/3490/3590. |
