Quick Start Guide
SANbox 6142, an intelligent Storage Router, provides remote and local SAN island connectivity. The major applications
are:
❑ Remote Data Replications between Fibre Channel (FC) storage arrays
❑ Connecting remote FC Servers to local FC storage
❑ Connecting iSCSI Storage to FC storage area network (SAN)
❑ Allocating Resources (FC storage arrays, FC Virtual Tape Libraries, and FC tapes) from different SANs within
the data center to FC servers and/or iSCSI servers without worrying about E-port compatibility.
Suggested Configurations
