Customers need scalability, performance and simplicity in storage management. As an active partner in Legato's acclaimed SAN Ready Program, we applaud StorageTek for its continued innovation to bring open and scalable SAN solutions to customers. With VTM, users can share their tape device assets across all of their Unix and NT hosts, as well as across multiple backup applications. When you add real tape drives to the SN6000, the servers do not need to be reconfigured or rebooted due to the virtual tape design. The SN6000 will reduce our costs while assisting us in meeting our business objectives.
Hosts can use new storage device technology without changing their existing device drivers.
Multiple backup applications can share the same tape devices. The launch of the SN6000 series offers customers a new solution to open systems backup consolidation, whatever the environment. Future Applications Virtual Transport Manager is just the beginning. In the near future, StorageTek will announce several additional applications for the SN6000 series that give customers the ability to seamlessly manage all of their storage assets, breaking the link between storage management and storage capacity. This will give users more choices and more control of their technology implementation roadmaps.
