Hi,
Senior management has this vision of moving our Data Center to a new
location and having the tape processing in another. Don't ask me why or
how come because I have no idea. Does anyone else do this ? What kind
of technology would you need ? Dark fiber keeps coming up in
conversation. Any info, white papers, opinions would be greatly
appreciated.
Yes, there people who do it (i.e. me).
So, it is feasible.
Technology, links, cost - all those depends on your needs.
Simple scenario:
IBM library (3494) connected using FICON links, moderate distance.
You need dark fiber *or* free lamba's on your DWDM.
It works like local library.
For STK solution you will need TCP/IP connectivity as well (can be
transmitted over the same fiber).
If you can't afford dark fiber, you can consider some TCP/IP based
solutions.
