One installation of Tranzman Appliance can be used to convert many environments, however, the following requirements need to be met.

1Gbit minimum connection required.
10Gbit connection recommended to ensure that duplication can drive destination media at a reasonable speed.
2 x 1Gbit connections (per tape drive) can be used if no 10Gbit NIC is present.
If multiple links are used, aggregation is needed to provide maximum throughput.
