SCSIConnect
The SCSIConnect product enables SCSI based Servers to connect to Fibre Channel enabled storage devices. Many servers installed and employed in day-to-day work are unable to support Fibre Channel due to either the cost of upgrade the server hardware and OS, or the server is unable to support Fibre Channel. This means that they cannot benefit from the many advantages that Fibre Channel brings -just the flexibility to increase the distance between the Server and the devices and the ability to share devices between Servers underline the usefulness of moving to Fibre Channel.
With SCSIConnect it is now possible to connect these SCSI based server to the Fibre Channel network in a simple cost effective way. By placing the SCSIConnect device between the SCSI interface and the Fibre Channel network legacy servers can enjoy the benefits of Fire Channel without any changes to the hardware, operating system or applications.
Typical Installation
iSCSIConnect
The iSCSIConnect bridge enables SCSI based Servers to connect to an iSCSI enabled storage devices. Many legacy Servers installed and employed in day-to-day work are unable to support the iSCSI protocol due to either the cost of upgrade the server hardware and or the Operating System This means that they cannot benefit from the many advantages that iSCSI brings -just the flexibility to increase the distance between the Server and the devices and the ability to share devices between Servers underline the usefulness of moving to iSCSI.
With SCSIConnect it is now possible to connect these SCSI based server to a iSCSI based network in a simple cost effective way. By placing the iSCSIConnect device between the SCSI interface and the iSCSI network legacy servers can enjoy the benefits of iSCSI without any changes to the hardware, operating system or applications
Typical Installation
Long Distance SCSI
For those users who wish to retain their SCSI storage devices but wish to distance these away from the Server for security reasons, have in the past only been able to achieve this by using dedicated devices linked by Fibre Optical cables. But now, by combining an iSCSIConnect bridge in combination with a Bridgeworks Potomac iSCSI bridge, it is now possible to achieve the distancing of peripherals this over an standard Ethernet infrastructure or even broadband links
