TC2201 Benefits
1
The Quantum TC2201 is designed to connect SCSI devices into an iSCSI
network. The Quantum TC2201 is neatly packaged in a 1U form factor
with two 1 Gb/s iSCSI ports and two LVD/SE SCSI buses. SCSI buses
automatically negotiate for Fast, Narrow, Wide, and up to Ultra160 SCSI.
External throughput is up to 200 MB/s
bi-directional per iSCSI port (or 100 MB/s one way per iSCSI port), or up
to a total of 400 MB/s bi-directional for both ports.
Enterprise Class
Performance
1
The TC2201 offers enterprise class performance with memory buffer
bandwidth exceeding 1 Gb/s and delivering end-to-end throughput of
up to 400 MB/s bi-directional for both ports (or 200 MB/s each way for
both ports together). The TC2201 performs fast tape reads and writes,
which enables it to handle larger data sets while completing backup and
restore tasks within a smaller time frame.
SAN Management
Reduction
1
The Quantum TC2201 is significantly easier to install than other routers
due to the “store-and-forward” configuration feature and the Visual
Manager (VM) software. “Store-and-forward” allows configuration files
and TC2201 operational settings to be saved and copied to other like
routers, reducing redundant setup tasks. Using VM, service professionals
and end users can configure a TC2201 with simple “point and click”
choices on a graphical representation of the TC2201.
Add Intelligence to SCSI
Storage
1
The TC2201 has many features that provide intelligence to SCSI devices
and help manage SAN configurations, performance and reliability. A
short list includes Visual Manager, dynamic storage allocation (i.e. map
activation without reboot), SCSI target reset, custom mapping, and access
controls (LUN masking and management). These features of the TC2201
provide customers with a high level of storage functionality for high
performance backup and recovery, reliability, security and manageability
in their nearline storage solutions.
