Atto Technology XCET-8100-TN0 SAS Bridge for Tape Drive Sharing via Ethernet

The Atto Technology XCET-8100-TN0 SAS Bridge offers a reliable and high-performance solution for sharing SAS Tape drives over Ethernet networks. Designed specifically for tape device connectivity, this intelligent bridge enables seamless integration of SAS Tape drives with iSCSI Ethernet infrastructure, facilitating efficient data backup and retrieval processes. With two 10Gb/s Ethernet SFP+ ports, the device supports fast host connections, ensuring minimal latency during data transfer. The inclusion of RJ45/Copper SFP modules allows flexible network configurations, making it suitable for diverse enterprise environments. Its single x4 12Gb/s miniSAS HD SFF-8644 port, which auto-negotiates to 6Gb/s, provides a robust connection point for multiple tape drives. This device supports up to four SAS Tape drives, including LTO 5 or later models, delivering sustained transfer rates up to 2GB/s. Operating system independent, the XCET-8100-TN0 requires an iSCSI Initiator for setup and management, ensuring compatibility across various systems. An intuitive web-based GUI simplifies device configuration and ongoing management, while LEDs indicate port, power, and bridge statuses for quick diagnostics. The design is battery-free and RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental standards. Each finished product includes the SAS Bridge, SFP modules, power adapter, and cables, providing a complete setup right out of the box. With a three-year standard warranty (extendable to five years with advanced replacement), the XCET-8100-TN0 is a dependable choice for enterprise tape backup solutions, supporting all leading backup software applications and maintaining flexibility for future upgrades.
