Kano Expands its iSCSI SAN

Kano Technologies Corporation, in direct and network-attached storage products
for Windows, Linux and Apple Macintosh systems, has expanded its
NetCOR IP-SAN product line. Kano announced the introduction of
the NetCOR 6000 storage system, a high-availability iSCSI-based SAN
(storage area network) appliance for the small to SMB market.

The NetCOR 6000 delivers
ground-breaking enterprise-level IP-SAN features to SMBs at a
price-point unmatched by its competition. It allows users to centralize
server storage under a single, secure management and hardware platform
while providing ample storage expansion options, as well as robust
system monitoring features. With the integrated StorSAN Manager
Console, world-class Intel hardware and fully redundant components,
the NetCOR IP-SAN provides a solution with zero-downtime.

“Our
SMB customers have been waiting for a simple, expandable high
availability IP-SAN product that fits their budget, and the new NetCOR
6000 delivers at every level,” said Robert Young, national sales
manager at Kano. “Additionally, with the six-step StorSAN Manager setup
wizard, the NetCOR 6000 deploys in minutes, making it perfect for
remote sites without dedicated IT staff.”

The
NetCOR 6000 series is offered in a 3U low-profile rack-mount
configuration with a single Intel controller, or a dual Intel
controller providing complete hardware redundancy and fail-over. Each
NetCOR 6000 base model can be custom configured with up to 15 high
performance SAS (Serial-Attached-SCSI) or high-capacity SATA hard
drives for up to 15 terabytes of protected IP-SAN storage in a single
unit. The NetCOR 6000 also allows for flexible storage expansion
through the addition of up to three N200e SAS expansion arrays,
providing 51 terabytes of high availability SAN storage.  Each NetCOR
6000 has a unique cable-less component design with complete field
serviceability in mind.  All hardware components are field-swappable
including drives, fans, power supplies, Intel controllers and mid-plane.

The NetCOR 6000 provides simple yet robust management
features through the StorSAN Manager OS. StorSAN Manager provides an
effortless six-step setup/configuration and an easy-to-use management
interface, making network configuration, volume and RAID setup a snap
for SMB customers and departmental workgroups. At the core of the
StorSAN Manager OS is Multi-path IO management with active failover.
This feature provides automatic failover management and self monitoring
of all redundant hardware components, which includes up-to-the-second
failure alerts and graceful shut down.

Prices start at MSRP $4999.
