Ethernet Network backup made simple with the Cybernetics miSAN™ V-Series

Do you want an easy solution for backing up several studios at once? Want to set a schedule for unattended backup of every room? Simply connect miSAN™ to your Ethernet network and give it an IP address for facility-wide, centralized backup and restore. This innovative disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) solution incorporates tape virtualization for compatibility with off-the-shelf backup software. Any software that works with SCSI tape backup devices will work with miSAN. The virtual tape library support automates backup for days, weeks, or months without intervention. And, the exclusive offload feature allows you to attach an external tape drive or library for serverless archival to removable tape media. miSAN™ overcomes every obstacle to disk-based backup to deliver an incredibly secure backup strategy, all at tremendous cost savings.

Disk to Tape backup

The miSAN-V Series solutions are available with an integrated tape drive for serverless tape export for off-site archives. Just 2U of rack space includes a disk-based virtual tape library with up to 4.5 TB, plus easy export of 400 GB - 1.2 TB per removable tape media.

In order to use miSAN over iSCSI you will need iSCSI initiator software. For Mac OS X, Glyph has tested and approved the free SNS OS X iSCSI initiator.

For Windows Vista, the initiator comes pre-installed. For older versions of Windows, the free initiator software is available here.
