The Vortex SAN Access Kit (SAK) allows users to access large amounts of stored data quickly and easily. Available for Windows, Solaris and Linux operating systems, the Vortex SAK can support the playback of data for a wide range of applications.
The SAK consists of a FC host bus adapter (FC-HBA) and SAN Access Software (SAS) that accesses large storage devices via FC from a Host PC. The host bus adapter is available in PCI Express® (PCIe) and PCI-X form factors. It connects to SBOD, RAID or JBOD storage systems, via arbitrated loop (FC-AL) or switched FC topologies. The SAK allows for efficient access to Vortex drives and recordings through a web-based GUI, or within user applications via the Storage API.
