EScon Launches PCI-e SAN
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Tue, May 20th, 2008
Integrating RAID, switch and HBA
PCI-e SAN provides manageable structure for storage system. EScon offers a total solution which integrates PCI-e RAID systems, PCI-e switch, host bus adapter card and RAID GUI.
The Solution contains:
- PCI-e RAID system: A 8 or 16 drive bay SATA-II RAID with up to 16TB capacity.
- PCI-e switch: PCI-e Switch which can connect 7 sets of PCI-e RAID systems with data loading I/O of 2GB/s. To extend PCI-e RAID systems beyond 7 sets, you can simply cascade another switch with the first switch without any further interruption.
- Host bus adapter card: EScon also provides several PCI-e host bus adapter cards.
- PCI-e Cable: EScon also provides the PCI-e external cable to connect between the host to switch and switch to RAID system. PCI-e x8 to PCI-e x8, or PCI-e x4 to PCI-e x4,and so on.
To compare with current FC SAN, EScon's PCI-e SAN solution has the following benefits:
- Low cost PCI-e SAN total solution: The PCI-e SAN solution contains Switch, RAID system and host bus adapter card, no extra high cost HBA card and switch are needed.
- High performance of the PCI-e SAN solution: PCI-e x 4 data transfer rate can reach 1000MBs compared with 400MBs for Fibre based SANs, x4 PCI-e provides 1GBps bandwidth which delivers high performance for heavy duty storage applications.
- Scalability PCI-e SAN solution: PCI-e Switch can connect 7 sets of PCI-e RAID systems which can also cascade up to 4 layers.
