MirageFC Virtual Tape Controller (VTC) is the key component of a high performance Virtual Tape Library (VTL).  The MirageFC VTC increases the performance and reliability of the backup process by creating VTLs utilizing Fibre Channel disk storage systems.  The Mirage “Embedded Archive Engine (EAE)” archives virtual tape volumes to conventional tape cartridges using a tape drive(s), autoloader or  tape library.  The archive process is initiated and managed by the MirageFC VTC as a background process, without any additional software or host resources.  Archived tape cartridges are created as if the tape was written directly by the application software.
MirageFC supports direct attached as well as SAN fabric connections.  Hardware integration is simple.  It’s also seamless to operating systems and backup applications.

MirageFC delivers immediate performance improvements to backup, restore and archival applications.
MirageFC supports investments already made in tape drives, libraries and RAID equipment as well as
application software.  Mirage enables users to keep their current configuration in place, no hardware changes, no software changes, no procedural or policy changes.
MirageFC offers user selectable number of Virtual Tape Library slots and drives.  Up to 8 virtual tape drives are supported per controller. Additional controllers can be added for scalability.
MirageFC automatically emulates the attached tape drive or library that is present.  In the absence of an archival tape device, a variety of user selectable Tape Library emulations are offered.
MirageFC has repositioned tape to its appropriate place as a removable storage device for archival purposes.  
It's that simple!
