Network Storage Controller Model NSC55
If your organization seeks additional functionality beyond that provided by
Adaptable Modular Storage or Workgroup Modular Storage,such as mainframe
connection or heterogeneous systems management,the Network Storage
Controller,model NSC55,can provide the functionality you need within a
modular,rackmounted,small-footprint package.
The NSC55 supports advanced storage management and data replication
features previously not available in this class of storage,delivering mainframe
as well as heterogeneous multiplatform connectivity via Fibre Channel,IBM®
ESCON® and FICON®,NAS,and iSCSI. With the NSC55 you can retain your
heterogeneous systems,aggregate them into a virtual pool,deploy them in
tiered architectures,manage them through a single console,and replicate
critical data using a common set of tools.By maximizing the use of your
existing resources and enhancing their functionality,the NSC55 allows you
to simplify your storage environment and reduce total cost of ownership.
