At this year's N+I, Quantum Corporation, a storage-industry leader, will give its first demonstration of a storage area network (SAN), a highly scaleable, high-throughput architecture that eliminates the server bottleneck. Quantum will demonstrate how the industry's most comprehensive line of "SAN-ready" storage devices can work in a full-functioning SAN environment. Products include the new Quantum Atlas(TM) III and Quantum Viking(TM) II Ultra2 SCSI LVD hard drives, and Quantum Rushmore(TM) solid state disks, as well as Quantum DLTtape(TM) systems. All of these Quantum products deliver the high capacities, high reliability, and fast, predictable transfer rates needed to support a storage area network. Exhibit highlights include: -- General-purpose and video streaming SANs based respectively on the Windows NT and Apple Mac OS operating systems. -- The first SAN environment with an Ultra2 SCSI component: demonstrating how SCSI can be integrated into a Fibre Channel backbone. -- The use of Quantum's DLT 7000-based tape library automation that leverages the Fibre Channel backbone. -- Long distance (up to 20 kilometers) data access via SCSI switches.
