The Crossroads® ServerAttach™ SA20
quickly enables your new or existing SCSI-based
servers to access Fibre Channel (FC) storage.
Many SCSI servers either have no FC option
available or, if they do, they require costly
upgrades to the operating system (OS) and
applications. With the SA20, there is no
need to upgrade servers, thus minimizing
server downtime for installation. No HBA
hardware, driver software, or kernel modifications
are required for most installs. A simple
user interface even shortens the installation
process into several easy steps. With the
SA20 you can now connect up to two SCSI
servers at once to your FC tape and disk
subsystems without making changes to servers.
The SA20 achieves that rare balance of cost
and capability while functioning to bridge
the gap between the requirements of today
and tomorrow.
Patented “Access
Controls” software embedded on the
SA20 further improves access to storage
resources by providing essential security
and host access into SAN environments. Because
today’s policy-based data management
strategies require reliable business-critical
data protection solutions, the SA20 delivers
robust shared data access when you need
it at an amazing 160 MB/s maximum peak performance.
Balance Connectivity and Performance
Key Benefits of ServerAttach
Consolidation of Storage Investments
Whether you already have a Storage Area
Network (SAN) or you are considering implementation
of a SAN, your business critical applications
and servers need access to the centralized
external storage resources on the SAN. The
SA20 enables the centralization of your
storage resources by allowing these resource
investments to be diversified across multiple
servers. To enhance the Return On Investment
(ROI) for your new and existing SCSI-based
servers, the cost-effective solution is
the SA20.
SCSI to
Fibre Channel Connectivity
A growing diversity of storage protocols
lack support in many operating systems or
business applications. The SA20 delivers
a robust solution by providing protocol
conversion between SCSI-based servers and
the Fibre Channel architectures that are
used in the majority of installed SANs.
By leveraging Fibre Channel, the SA20 removes
the distance limitations associated with
SCSI, and allows access of FC resources
over extended distances. With this level
of enhanced connectivity, the SA20 stands
as the best solution to protect your investments
in SCSI servers and their hosted business
applications.
Business
Continuity
The SA20 also fosters enhanced security
by allowing direct control over each host’s
specific access to storage resources, down
to the Logical Unit (LUN) level. As a result,
entire tape libraries or even specific tape
drives can be hidden from selected hosts
while remaining visible to others. Access
to your SAN resources can be shared, allowing
multiple hosts to avoid conflicts with each
other while utilizing the same storage devices.
