The Channel Zoning capability is always available to users of the SNC.
Data Mover Module
The SNC can move data directly between storage devices that are attached to it. This
direct movement of data can be from disk to disk, disk to tape, tape to disk or tape to tape.
The Data Mover Module frees-up valuable system resources on the server and
substantially increases the speed of backup and restore operations.
•
The Data Mover Module is the engine for Server-Free backup and restore and HSM
applications that support the Extended Copy Specification (ANSI T10/99-143r1).
The Data Mover Module capability is always available to users of the SNC.
