About the White Paper:
The basic architecture for tape backup and archive systems has remained unchanged since the
introduction and subsequent wide-scale implementation of the LAN nearly over 15 years ago. Fibre
Channel technology allows for the implementation of new tape backup system architectures that will
greatly benefit systems administrators, network engineers, and ultimately the customers that rely on
these systems.
This article outlines suggested strategy for implementing a Storage Area Network (SAN) solution
for tape libraries using Fibre Channel technology.
