"Our customers require a wide range of scalable options, including SAN attachment solutions, to effectively manage and protect their data in the face of rapid growth, said Michael Brooks, Director of Strategic Alliances at Plasmon. " Bridgework's certification of Plasmon's optical and tape library families enables superior performance, plug'n'play installation at a very cost-effective price."
The Tamar family of 2Gb Fibre Channel to SCSI bridges has been designed especially for the requirements of the SME SAN connectivity market.
