ADIC Market Approach
ADIC is moving beyond simple hardware to focus on Intelligent Storage™
Hardware devices with a significant software component
This makes ADIC’s
devices easier to manage, easier to integrate into a complex,
multi-protocol networking environment, and more reliable for large-scale data
storage in an enterprise environment
Archiving and data management software, Storage Area Network (SAN)
management solutions, tape libraries with built-in controllers, remote monitoring,
diagnostics, and repair, and comprehensive, full-solution backup systems
The “Intelligent”
approach allows for faster backup in shorter backup windows, more
reliable data transfer, better compression performance, easier service and
diagnostics, superior scalability, and more options for customized management by IT
departments and storage administrators
This high-end model is expected to drive growth in the segment going forward

ADIC Disk-Based Backup
From its acquisition of PathLight
Technology, ADIC offers a mid-range and enterprise-class disk
backup system
Disk-based replication offers a secure, rapid, and reliable form of backup, adding additional
redundancy to storage
Difficult-to-backup data, and more critical data is backed up to disk, then automatically
transferred to tape
The disk writes quicker and the data is maintained with more certainty
ADIC’s
Pathlight
VX
650
delivers
premium protection for your
organization’s most difficult-to-
backup data. In this example, email
and database information is backed
up to disk, while tapes are created
automatically in one library partition
for disaster recovery and retention.
File and print server data is backed
up directly to tape using a separate
partition in the same library.

ADIC SAN Appliances
SAN Devices work as a hardware front for a storage network, linking dissimilar operating
systems and protocols work together in a unified network
Dynamically maps diskless servers to disk volumes and providing access security
IT architects use the SNC 5000 to combine heterogeneous devices into a single, centrally
managed environment in order to obtain the highest possible value and utility from their
data center resources
Test results demonstrate significant write performance increases
for library configurations that connect tape drives to a switched
fabric
through
an
ADIC®
Storage
Networking
Library
controller
in comparison to similar drives connected directly to the fabric.
Typical enterprise-scale configurations show a 19%
throughput improvement
for controller-connected units.

Archiving Software
AMASS,
stored
on
a
UNIX
server,
acts
as
a
virtual
front
for
tape
libraries
and
optical
storage
libraries
Transforms “off-line”
storage (automated backup) into direct-access, mass-storage devices
Effectively presents a group of storage devices as one device, and allows the user to access
it to retrieve or store files as they would a standard magnetic disk
AMASS provides transparent
access to data on disk and
library storage. With its buffer
cache, AMASS allows
gigabytes of disk to support
files which are terabytes in
size.
