Equipped with an intelligent Fibre
Channel router and a built-in server, the ASACA Digital
Virtual Libraries (DVLs) provide Fibre Channel Storage Area
Networks (SANs) with direct access to data, video and audio
files at Gigabit-speeds.
One of the features that makes
ASACA TeraCart Libraries so ideal for SANs is their
scalability. Up to eight libraries can be connected with
pass-through and infrared communications. Expansion cabinets
are also available that can be configured with up to 192
DVD-RAM drives and up to 11,600 double-sided DVD-RAM discs to
provide 109TB of removable, re-writeable storage. |

Fibre Channel technology also
overcomes the 25 meter (27 yard)
distance and performance limitations of SCSI connections.
Organizations can cost-effectively connect multiple servers within
a large office building to a single,
multi-Terabyte DVL and achieve sustained data transfer rates of
more than 85 MB per second.
By integrating the high performance
Fibre Channel Storage Router, ASACA is able to provide SAN
environments with very high storage densities at pennies per
Megabyte.
