Component Summary 13

These components are engineered to provide the EBS with efficient backup of massive amounts

of data without adversely affecting network utilization. This architecture offers the best method

to protect large volumes of data and the component integration supports customer needs for

reduced administrative costs, greater manageability, and minimization of network traffic. This

new architecture ensures investment protection by allowing upgrades from existing direct SCSI

attached solutions to the EBS.
