Hi All

We are investigating a new backup solution. I need to determine if we can
move out tape library offsite.

16 Port fibre switch to MDR {Fibre to SCSI} to Tape library.
AFAIK the short-wave GIBIC's can only do 500m.
long wave or other solution ?

We need about 5 Km. No problem with our Extreme TCP/IP net.

Thanks

Hannes
