ACER What is ACER ASC Express ? ASC EXPRESS BASICS The explosion of data in today’s networked computing environments stresses the abilities of many Information Technology groups while the demand to store and access data doubles each year. Since information, and the storage infrastructure that holds it, are critical to a company’s success, the management of the storage becomes a serious issue, where reliability, availability and improved disaster recovery are all key factors.

ASC offers enterprises an easy way to purchase, implement, and support new or existing enterprise SANs, while containing the costs associated with the ownership and management of storage solutions. Building an ASC storage network puts enterprise class storage services at your fingertips, allowing you to do more with less. Provides total freedom in storage connectivity: Fibre Channel, IP/iSCSI, SCSI, JBOD, RAID, and tape/library. Because ASC scales easily and encompasses all protocols a

What is an ASC Network The ASC Storage Network can be either a dedicated storage network, just like traditional Fibre Channel SANs, or it can be embedded into the existing LAN for small or low impact applications. Acer recommends that a separate network segment be dedicated to the Storage Network; this flexibility allows the building and testing of different topologies, the scaling of the Storage Network, and the sharing of networking resources to suit the varied requirements of differe

(depending upon specific configurations, typically up to 16 devices per bus). For maximum throughput, ASC supports multiple SCSI busses and/or adapters. For SAN/IP Clients (non-Fibre Channel Clients), ASC packages the storage ™ requests into IP packets using Acer’s SAN/IP protocol. Requests made to the client’s virtual adapters are converted to SAN/IP packets. The ASC Server receives the SAN/IP packets and converts them to SCSI commands. The ASC Server then responds with the storag

ASC Components The primary components of the ASC Storage Network are the ASC Server, ASC Console, ASC SAN Clients and the ASC NAS Clients. These components all sit on the same network segment, the storage network. ASC Server The ASC Server is a dedicated network storage server. The ASC Server is attached to the physical SCSI and/or Fibre Channel storage devices on one or more SCSI or Fibre Channel busses. The job of the ASC Server is to communicate data requests between the clients
