摘要： Embodiments provide systems and methods for the encryption of data to be stored on media in a library. A method of data encryption may comprise intercepting or monitoring commands sent to a library comprising one or more media stored at secure slots. If in response to a command or commands, media is moved from a secure slot to a drive, data stored on the media by the drive is encrypted, either by an encryption device, the drive or other encryption system, thus allowing encryption based on individual slots or media in a library.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide a media library controller that can communicate with multiple physical libraries that are physically separate from each other (i.e., that cannot pass media back and forth). The media library controller can maintain a virtualized aggregate media library representing the physical media libraries with which it is in communication. From the physical media libraries, the media library controller can establish a virtual media library and associate a host with the virtual media library. The virtual media library can represent the portions of a physical media library to which the host is allowed access.

摘要： A data encryption engine and method for using to selectively encrypt communications. Data is received from a source device into the data encryption engine. The data encryption engine determines whether or not to encrypt the data based on a source device preference, a target device preference, a comparison of priority numbers for the source device and target device, the transport medium, the relationship between the source device and target device, a type/level of encryption or some combination. If the data is determined to need encryption, the data encryption device may encrypt the data or may flag the data for encryption by the target device. Otherwise the unencrypted data may be forwarded to the target device.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method of media library access that eliminates, or at least substantially reduces, the shortcomings of prior art media library access systems and methods. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods of distributed mapping of media library partitions. According to one embodiment, the present invention can include a first controller connected to a data transport element of a media library and a second controller connected to a media changer of the media library. The first controller can maintain a media library partition representing a portion of the media library, receive a command from a host application based on the media library partition and forward the command to the second controller. The first controller can further translate logical addresses referenced in the command to physical addresses before forwarding the command to the second controller. The second controller can receive the command from the first controller and forward the command to the media changer. The second controller, according to another embodiment of the present invention, can also prioritize the command on a FIFO basis or according to other prioritization scheme known in the art.

摘要： Systems and methods for synchronizing digital communications links, wherein one embodiment implemented in a receiver of a communications link comprises a shift register coupled to a transmission medium to receive synchronization data and a feedback circuit coupled to the shift register, wherein one or more cells of the shift register are configured to alternatively accept as input either a bit from a preceding cell or a received bit of synchronization data. The first occurs prior to synchronization, while the second occurs after synchronization. A counter is used to assert a signal indicating that the transmitter and receiver are synchronized.

摘要： Systems and methods for coordinating the interoperability of devices in a network are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention may provide the ability for a host device in a storage network to inquire as to the capabilities of a storage device in a storage network. A routing device between the host and the storage device may receive a response, and if the routing device has a higher capability than the storage device the routing device may convert the response to a response that reflects the higher capabilities of the routing device before sending the response on to the host. However, if the storage device has a higher capability than the routing device, the routing device may pass the response through to the host unaltered.
