Compaq ProLiant 8000 Veritas Backup Exec - Page 5

Enterprise Backup Solution for VERITAS Backup Exec™ 5 Each server in the EBS needs to have a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter installed in a PCI slot. The Host Bus Adapter is a bus master device that takes advantage of the PCI architecture by performing high-speed data transfers. The most important components of the EBS are the tape libraries. The DLT libraries automate the tape handling process which frees valuable administrative resources. The automated tape libraries provide dedicated service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The EBS supports more than one library for scaling and performance needs.
