| MirageLITE Virtual
Tape Controller (VTC)
is the key component of a high performance,
affordable Virtual Tape Library (VTL). The
MirageLITE
VTC
increases the performance and reliability of
the backup process by creating VTLs utilizing
SCSI 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
MirageLITE
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. |
|
| Three independent
Ultra 160 LVD SCSI connections are provided to
attach the host server, RAID system, and tape
device. Hardware integration is simple.
It’s also seamless to operating systems and
backup applications. |
|
|
|
|
MirageLITE
delivers
immediate performance improvements to backup,
restore and archival applications.
|
|
|
MirageLITE
supports
investments already made in tape drives,
libraries and RAID equipment, as well as application software.
MirageLITE
enables
users to keep their current configuration in
place, no hardware changes, no software
changes, no procedural or policy changes.
|
|
|
|
The number of VTL slots and
drives is user selectable. Up to 4 virtual tape drives are
supported per controller. Additional controllers can be added for
scalability.
|
|
|
|
MirageLITE
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. Archive to tape is optional.
|
|
|
|
MirageLITE
has repositioned tape to its appropriate place
as a removable storage device for archival
purposes. |
|
|
|
It's that
simple!
