SymplyPRO XTL Ethernet Module – Product Overview
The SymplyPRO XTL Ethernet Module is an integrated iSCSI-to-SAS bridge for SymplyPRO XTL 24, 40 and 80 libraries. It allows library tape resources to be presented over standard 10Gb Ethernet without adding an external rack appliance.
Integrated Dual 10GbE
Two 10GbE SFP+ data ports provide iSCSI host connectivity. The module also includes a dedicated service/management interface and an SFF-8644 SAS connection to the library's SAS tape resources.
Supports Up To Four SAS LTO Drives
One module can bridge up to four SAS LTO drives. Multiple modules can be used in modular XTL 40 and XTL 80 systems where additional drive connectivity is required.
Drive-Bay Installation
The Ethernet Module installs into one available LTO drive bay. In an XTL 24, this means the module occupies the upper drive position and the library supports one tape drive while the module is fitted.
Professional iSCSI Management
The module supports LTFS-aware tape workflows, ACL controls, SSH CLI management, firmware updates and Symply's accelerated Ethernet-to-SAS architecture.
