Tape backup consolidation
The 1606 SAN Extension Switch or MP Router enables tape consolidation across multiple fabrics.
Increased consolidation enables tape backup for devices in fabrics without tape libraries. Tape libraries
and backup operations can be centralized and shared across multiple fabrics in a Meta SAN. There
is no need to merge fabrics, which reduces equipment and management costs.
