Infortrend Adds Two Models to EonNAS Family

Infortrend Technology, Inc. has added two models to its EonNAS family of unified storage systems: the EonNAS 3210 and 3220.

The new models are designed to meet the storage needs of SMBs, remote/branch offices and enterprise departments, and will complement the EonNAS 3200, Infortrend’s existing model for these market segments. The new models feature de-duplication, ZFS data protection, and high scalability.

As with all models in the EonNAS family, the new systems provide support for file- and block-level applications, helping users easily consolidate datacenter infrastructures. The de-duplication feature on the EonNAS 3210 and 3220 systems ensure that all duplicated data on the system is removed, freeing up capacity that would otherwise be unnecessarily filled. Users can then optimize capacity utilization and achieve cost reductions. Resource utilization on the EonNAS 3210 and 3220 is further optimized by thin provisioning.

The feature-rich EonNAS 3210 and 3220 systems provide data protection. ZFS offers end-to-end data integrity, eliminates silent data corruption and prevents data inconsistencies as a result of power outages. In addition, snapshot and replication functionalities help users create data copies to protect against potential threats, while RAID technology adds another layer of protection.

Furthermore, the EonNAS 3210 and 3220 are scalable. By simply adding expansion enclosures to the EonNAS systems, capacity can be expanded to a maximum of 72 drives, ensuring that the systems can accommodate future business growth.

Thomas Kao, director of product planning at Infortrend, noted: "The new models in our EonNAS family are equipped with hardware and software features designed to help customers consolidate datacenters, optimize resource utilization and protect their data. With a comprehensive set of software features available at no additional cost, the new EonNAS models are extremely cost-competitive, enabling SMBs and enterprise departments to stay within their tight IT budgets without compromising on data storage performance."

The EonNAS 3210 offers cost-efficient storage, while the EonNAS 3220 is for optimized performance.
