Title
Comparison of Native Fibre Channel Tape and SAS Tape Connected to a Fibre Channel to SAS Bridge

IT Managers may approach backing up Storage Area Networks (SANs) with the idea of purchasing native Fibre Channel tape drives or libraries. This paper examines the technical and economic considerations of implementing an alternative solution for SAN backup and archive; a Fibre Channel-to-SAS Bridge powering SAS Tape drives or libraries. Considerations of which solution to implement will be identified and the benefits of each will be compared on the basis of performance, availability, connectivity, manageability, intelligence and cost.

Although the native Fibre Channel tape options may appear to be less complicated, bridging devices utilizing SAS tape drives, such as an ATTO XstreamCORE FC 7600, provides significant advantages.
DAS Over FC Technology Allows ATTO to Disaggregate Storage and Complete vSAN Certification Suite

ATTO Technology, Inc. completed the VMware vSAN ReadyNode certification suite in a manner that has never been done before. The test bed itself was formulaic, featuring three Dell R640 servers as hosts. No internal storage existed, aside from an SD card for boot and a single SAS SSD for logging, and all storage was placed within external SAS JBODs. What made this test groundbreaking was the storage configuration: the transport protocol was Fibre Channel (FC).
