Enhance and Tiger Certify Interoperability
Between iSCSI/FC SAN arrays and metaSAN
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on January 19, 2009 at 3:49 pmEnhance Technology, Inc. headquartered in Santa Fe Spring, California, is involved in design and implementation of hybrid input/output technology in the storage subsystems. Coupled with innovative and affordable storage solutions, Enhance Technology offers unparallel support to meet with customer’s demands and needs. Enhance Technology is a technology partner of Tiger Technology, a Swiss-based software developer of SAN management tools. By making sure the Enhance UltraStor RS8/RS16 IP iSCSI & FS Fibre Channel RAID subsystems compatibility with Tiger Technology’s metaSAN, cross platform file sharing Storage Area Network (SAN) management software, Enhance technology has proved again its superlative character in its data storage products.
As the increasing requirements of the connections and the speed between SAN and end-users, it’s necessary to acclimatize the metaSAN to satisfy the demand. The Tiger Technology’s metaSAN enables multiple users to share access to common data files in workgroups where heavy bandwidth requirements are the norm. With metaSAN, users can manage accesses to their shared storage the same way they normally would for any other local drive. Using metaSAN, video and film editors, digital artists, healthcare specialists, and corporate users can simultaneously access a common pool of data files such as video clips, databases, or medical archives as easily and transparently as if the content was stored on their local drive. Both the UltraStor RS8/RS16 iSCSI & Fibre Series were tested with metaSAN SAN Management Software and the results were revealing the improved performance with SAN.
To ensure high performance, reliability, and customer confidence on our full line of storage subsystem models, Enhance Technology always takes the initiative step to help our customers avoid compatibility issues normally associated with newly released firmware revision such as the new metaSAN 3.2 which includes support for Mac OS X and Windows Server 2008.
Tiger Technology’s metaSAN turns the UltraStor products into a powerful, cross-platform, file-level sharing SAN by eliminating the risk of file-system corruption that would otherwise occur when multiple computers access the same disks. With metaSAN, multiple computers can benefit from high-speed block-level access, cross-platform support, automatic load balancing, transparent failover, and per-client bandwidth usage control. Multiple Enhance storage arrays can also be striped together to meet greater performance requirements. These innovations ensure a perfectly transparent and reliable networked shared storage that can fuel the most creative environments in addition to greatly reducing the cost of managing mission-critical resources.
