The HP 2100 ER Fiber Channel to SCSI Bridge is a conduit between SCSI and the world of fiber channel. The HP 2100 ER now supports most medium and large HP magneto-optical jukeboxes, so existing SCSI-based jukeboxes can plug into the power of fiber.Fiber Channel's long cable distance capabilities allow you to locate tape storage devices in centralized facilities for security and manageability at substantially reduced operating costs. A powerful storage solution, the HP SureStore Fiber Channel SCSI Bridge meets demands of explosive data growth and shrinking backup windows. Library sharing provides easier administration while leveraging library size. The Bridge is an excellent way to implement a dedicated, high speed fiber backup loop while preserving investment in tape libraries. It also provides a first step into the emerging SAN technology. Multiple device connectivity provides scalability to support long-term growth.
