AIT-Tape
Advanced SCSI Processor ( CY-ASP )
The Advanced SCSI Processor
(CY-ASP) allows two or more tape
drives to work together to
maximize speed and capacity while
saving time and resources. It is a
powerful and flexible tool, yet
very easy to use. The CY-ASP
connects to a single SCSI bus and
can appear to the host as a single
SCSI device, separate drives with
different SCSI ID's, or as
multiple LUN's on one SCSI ID.
Each drive has its own status LCD,
featuring an intuitive,
user-friendly menu which guides
users through mode settings.
Current settings are displayed to
eliminate guesswork and/or
cumbersome menu scrolling, and are
retained even after a power
outage.
With the CY-ASP, you can choose
from striping, mirroring, cascade,
independent, and off-line
copy/verify modes to maximize
throughput, add fault tolerance, or
make duplicate tapes for off-site
storage or data exchange. You
can easily change modes without
having to cycle power.
Striping
mode:
Increase both capacity and
throughput by interleaving to
multiple tape drives, keeping each
drive streaming at maximum speed.
The CY-ASP accepts much higher
data streams for the fastest
backup and data acquisition
applications. Just as RAID
striping revolutionized disk
speed, CY-ASP offers the same
benefits in writing to tape.
Mirroring
mode:
The high performance processor
writes duplicate originals in the
same time it takes to write the
data once, for off-site storage or
data exchange. Mirrored backup has
the added benefit of fault
tolerance—a media failure on one
tape will not stop your backup
operation.
Cascade
mode:
Backup continues on the next tape
once the previous tape is full for
increased unattended tape backup
capacity, even if your software
does not support tape spanning.
Set to finish with EOT on the last
drive in the cascade set or for
continuous cascade restarting at
drive one if the tape has been
changed. Supports both seamless
tape sets and independent tape
sets depending on software
requirements.
Offline
copy/verify:
Copies the contents of one tape to
another at maximum speed, and
compares tapes to ensure that they
are identical. A block by block
copy of a master to a blank tape
without host intervention means
perfect tape duplication
regardless of the source—even
supports block sizes of up to
512k. And, the CY-ASP subsystem
does not even need to be connected
to a computer system at all to
duplicate tapes.
Independent
mode:
Each tape drive can operate
completely independently and
simultaneously so you can even
backup with one drive while you
restore with another. Supports
separate SCSI ID's or Logical Unit
Numbers (LUN's).
