Conversion Solutions
Operation of native FICON channels with Bus/Tag and ESCON devices is not directly possible. The Optica Technologies solutions offered by dacoso enable you to set up a native FICON environment without having to replace or modify your peripherals still fitted with B/T & ESCON ports. As a result, full migration to native FICON and continued use of your peripherals is possible.
- Investment protection for legacy B/T & ESCON devices (application & tape media)
- All advantages of native FICON are preserved (distance & switchability)
- Replacement for EOL products such as FICON Bridge Cards
- Improved utilisation of FICON channels
- Migration tool for FICON infrastructure
dacoso provides support for the following OPTICA devices:
- PRIZM 34800 FICON / ESCON Converter (1:4, 2:8, 2:12)
- ESBT 34700 ESCON/Bus Tag Converter for CNC ESCON channels only with PRIZM & ECLIPZ
- FXBT 34600 ESCON/Bus Tag Converter for ESCON/CVC Channels (stand-alone unit such as IBM 9034)
