Comparison of Native Fibre Channel Tape and SAS Tape Connected to a Fibre Channel to SAS Bridge
|
IT Managers may approach backing up Storage Area Networks (SANs) with the idea of purchasing native Fibre Channel tape drives or libraries. This paper examines the technical and economic considerations of implementing an alternative solution for SAN backup and archive; a Fibre Channel-to-SAS Bridge powering SAS Tape drives or libraries. Considerations of which solution to implement will be identified and the benefits of each will be compared on the basis of performance, availability, connectivity, manageability, intelligence and cost. Although the native Fibre Channel tape options may appear to be less complicated, bridging devices utilizing SAS tape drives, such as an ATTO XstreamCORE FC 7600, provides significant advantages. |

Considerations When Selecting A Fabric For Storage Area Networks
|
Amidst the surging demands on modern storage architectures, driven by the massive influx of data from AI, autonomous vehicles, surveillance systems, and the intricate web of regulatory and financial requirements, a fresh perspective is essential. As we navigate this dynamic landscape, it becomes increasingly pertinent to reevaluate strategies that address the trifecta of performance, cost efficiency, and robust support. Stay ahead in this ever-evolving scenario by redefining how you approach the challenges posed by the data deluge. | Download | ||||
DAS Over FC Technology Allows ATTO to Disaggregate Storage and Complete vSAN Certification Suite
|
ATTO Technology, Inc. completed the VMware vSAN ReadyNode certification suite in a manner that has never been done before. The test bed itself was formulaic, featuring three Dell R640 servers as hosts. No internal storage existed, aside from an SD card for boot and a single SAS SSD for logging, and all storage was placed within external SAS JBODs. What made this test groundbreaking was the storage configuration: the transport protocol was Fibre Channel (FC). | Download | ||||

Fibre Channel Connectivity in Modern Content Creation Workflows
|
For over a decade now, content creation infrastructure has been penetrated by IP-based networks and network-attached storage products. Shared storage, once the bastion of a handful of high-end facilities, has become commonplace with the help of network file systems and lower cost 1/10Gb Ethernet hardware. The most popular workstation operating systems have decent compatibility with these systems, and mapping network shares to the desktop for access to project files is a popular workflow. It’s time for content creation professionals to pose the question, what do we lose in the move toward NAS topology, and what is better achieved through Fibre Channel with a custom shared file system? |

SAS or NVMe?
|
Storage architects need to respond to today’s business challenges by ensuring the storage solutions they choose provide the security, stability, scalability and management features necessary to support their ecosystem. As they look toward adopting new storage technologies, there are essential considerations they should weigh and review before moving to a new technology. New storage protocols are continually entering the market, and this paper explores how SAS technology remains the foundation for storage networks and will continue to deliver on that promise tomorrow and beyond. | Download | ||||
The changing infrastructure technology behind the modern media production environment with Pixitmedia and ATTO Technology
