48-Bay 4U FC/iSCSI SAN From Infortrend
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Tue, January 31st, 2012
For HPC and archiving, can be expanded to 240 HDDs
Infortrend Technology Inc. announced the addition of a high-density storage solutions in its EonStor DS family.
The solutions help users meet capacity requirements with 48 drive bays in a 4U form factor, while offering cost efficiency. In addition, the new systems come with hybrid Fibre Channel (FC)/iSCSI host connectivity for remote replication or consolidated SAN tiering.
The capacities offered by the EonStor DS solutions are for applications such as HPC and data archiving. Featuring three separate drawers accommodating 16 disk drives each, as well as simplified system cabling, the solutions are easy to maintain. If user requirements exceed the capacity offered by a single 48-bay system, capacity can be expanded with expansion enclosures to a maximum of 240 drive bays.
Furthermore, the density of the solutions reduces the required amount of floor space and lowers power consumption.
With hybrid FC/iSCSI connectivity, the solutions enable users to deploy mission-critical applications on FC SAN while configuring cost-effective remote replication via iSCSI-based data transmission over Ethernet. The hybrid connectivity can also be used to support consolidated SAN tiering, whereby a single solution can meet service level requirements of tier 1 applications on FC SAN and tier 2 applications on IP SAN.
Advanced data services help users get more out of their solution. Standard available snapshot and volume copy/mirror, as well as remote replication, protect data and implement disaster recovery plans. Thin provisioning enables dynamic capacity provisioning to optimise storage resource utilisation.
Thomas Kao, senior director of product planning at Infortrend, noted: "For some applications, raw capacity is a primary consideration. Our high-density solutions easily meet extreme capacity requirements, while not losing sight of other important data storage aspects that can greatly benefit users, such as data services and hybrid host connectivity. Available at competitive prices, the new solutions are part of our unwavering commitment to delivering comprehensive storage solutions that easily fit into IT budgets."
