As data grows, technologies change. Companies are continuously updating IS systems, re-engineering their networks or introducing new technologies to improve business. Following such changes, you are left with the challenge of systems interoperability for a consolidated backup operation. With Shared Library ServicesTM (SLS), we make it easy for you to take advantage of new systems and still utilize legacy technology.

The Quad Interface Processor (QIP) cards are the embedded intelligence inside the libraries and the secret ingredient behind SLS. The QIP technology enables customers to mix several native interface connections such as Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet and SCSI in the same library. Multiple QIPs in one library provides you with high redundancy and eliminates a single point of failure.
