About NAStape
®
 
The NAStape provides an interconnection that is easy to install, configure, and use. 
Designed specifically for the needs of network-attached storage (NAS) environments, 
the NAStape brings Ethernet (iSCSI) and NDMP connectivity to legacy SCSI tape drive 
devices. It provides serial and Ethernet in-band management ports, and an easy-to-use 
Web-based configuration utility. The NAStape 100 and NAStape 200 support only 
single-ended or LVD SCSI tape drives.
Note:
Neither NAStape 100 nor NAStape 200 will support high-voltage 
differential (HVD) tape drives.
The NAStape 100 supports a single Sony AIT-2 drive or Sony AIT-3 drive, and the 
NAStape 200 supports a single Quantum SDLT 320, HP LTO Ultrium, or IBM LTO-2 
tape drive. Both the NAStape 100 and NAStape 200 provide the interconnectivity 
required in today’s NAS environments.
Flexible Connectivity
Spectra Logic’s flexible connectivity uses an innovative approach to sharing tape 
backup resources among hosts. It enables the NAStape to be connected to a storage 
network using one of several protocols, including Network Data Management Protocol 
(NDMP) and Internet SCSI (iSCSI).
The NAStape comes with a Gigabit Ethernet interface. It supports 10BaseT, 100BaseT, 
and 1000BaseT network connectivity, and comes with iSCSI enabled (or you can 
purchase the NDMP option).
The NAStape incorporates an in-band HTTP-based application for device configuration 
and management.
