Magnetic Tape Drive Emulators
Upgrade legacy
systems cost-effectively The M-Plus
series replaces legacy external mass-storage devices with a robust and
reliable interface to modern data networks.By emulating failure-prone
mechanical tape drives, streamers, DAT drives, and magneto-optical
drives with purely electronic equipment, data mobility and availability
is increased while improving its resistance to outside sources of damage.
Employ
industry standard RAID schemes
Instead of
storing information on physical media, M-Plus devices forward the information to
a supervising computer running dedicated software.The supervising
computer can then employ industry standard RAID schemes for data redundancy and
backup.No physical media needs to
be unloaded from a machine and
taken to a processing/archive facility.
Upgradeable
firmware for increased flexibility
M-Plus devices
retain all functions of the emulated device to ensure the full
functionality of the original system without any reconfiguration.Any SCSI
mass-storage device can be emulated.M-Plus emulators utilize upgradeable
universal hardware, making certain that any system that uses a SCSI
interface, but has not yet been emulated, may be integrated.
