Spectra Logic and VARS Partner to Deliver Scalable Backup Solution for Multiple NetApp Filer Environments.Business Editors, High-Tech Writers BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 2000 --VAR partners receive training and support to guarantee simple and certified implementation for Network Appliance (1) A specialized device for use on a network. For example, Web servers, cache servers and file servers can be implemented as general-purpose computers with the appropriate software or as network appliances, which are computers dedicated to a single function and cannot do anything customers-- Spectra Logic Corporation, today announced strategic partnerships with twelve strategic storage Value Added Resellers (VARs) to deliver its scalable SAN-based backup solution for Network Appliance(TM) filer environments. The SAN-based solution for Network Appliance's filer products is the industry's first multi-vendor announcement utilizing both SAN and NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular technologies. &uot;We are proud to have selected this group of Value Added Resellers to deliver this solution to the marketplace,&uot; said Nathan Thompson &uot;In some of today's complex network storage environments, Network Appliance customers will require authorized resellers in order to implement robust products like multi-vendor SAN-based backup solutions,&uot; said Jeff Nollette, Network Appliance's Director of North American North American named after North America.

Channel Sales. &uot;Our partnership with Spectra Logic and these certified VARs will ensure the availability of an effective and scalable SAN-based backup solution to protect the mission-critical data on Network Appliance filers.&uot; The Solution Spectra Logic has now demonstrated a SAN-based backup architecture for Network Appliance filer environments utilizing its Fibre Channel-based tape libraries, a Fibre Channel switch In a computer storage field, a Fibre Channel switch is a network switch compatible with Fibre Channel (FC) protocol. It allows the creation of a Fibre Channel fabric, that is currently the core component of most storage area networks. from Vixel Corporation, and popular storage management software from VERITAS and Legato. The solution allows multiple filer customers to take advantage of a more cost effective and manageable backup strategy than was previously available. Utilizing the SAN-based approach, users can build a backup architecture, which can be scaled as additional capacity and/or filers are added to the environment. In the past, each filer added required either its own backup device See backup storage. or created additional backup traffic on the LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. . Spectra Logic's automated tape libraries are available to meet backup requirements from 375 GB to over 80 TB. Utilizing Sony's AIT tape technology, Spectra Logic's tape libraries offer unmatched storage density, performance and capacity. Spectra Logic's entry-level TreeFrog series offers unprecedented value-often-making automation more affordable than standalone or stacker solutions. The BullFrog bullfrog, common name of the largest North American frog, Rana catesbeiana. Native to the E United States, this species has been successfully introduced in the West and in other parts of the world. The body length is 4 to 8 in. family provides an incredible 5.2 Terabytes of storage in only seven inches of rackmount space. The recently announced Gator product family provides incredible storage capacities (from 7.2 TB to 82 TB) and more than enough tape drives (from 2 to 32) to support enterprise datacenter needs. All Spectra Logic libraries are available with a wide range of interfaces (SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. , Fibre Channel, etc.), electronic barcode reading capabilities, and a best-of-class user interface. These rackmountable designs give the benefit of automation without requiring large amounts of precious datacenter floorspace. Spectra Logic's comprehensive Upgrade Program protects a users' investments for years to come, allowing customers to take advantage of new tape technologies as they become available.
