EUROstor Presented Gen G7 Infortrend RAIDs

EonStor DS systems by Infortrend Technology Inc. are not only characterized by performance but also by virtualization features like snapshots, dynamic volume expansion, local volume copy and, optionally, thin provisioning as well as synchronous and asynchronous replication to another system.

EUROstor GmbH provides these systems configurated and equipped according to the customer’s specifications, with on-site installation at request.

At this year’s CeBIT the new generation of EonStor DS systems was introduced with controllers featuring higher performance, which are capable of reading up to 5,000MB/s and writing 3,000MB/s in active/active operation via four 8 Gbit FC ports each.

A high I/O throughput due to efficient processors optimizes the system even for highly frequented databases.

These systems also allow an expansion of up to 240 hard disks per system.

At CeBIT 2012 EUROstor presented a FC system of the G7 series featuring 16 hard disks and dual controller.

It also presented the following RAID systems with up to 64 hard disks in 4 units, ES-8700 iSCSI/NFS clusters on the basis of Open-E DSS V6, ES-2800 iSCSI/NAS servers with NexentaStor software and ZFS file system, as well as iSCSI SAN solutions with 10GbE switches by Netgear.

"CeBIT always offers a good opportunity to get a first-hand impression of new products. At our stand visitors may personally see the new RAID in operation and get a positive impression of its performance." says Franz Bochtler, president of EUROstor. "And, of course, customers will be able to see not only this RAID, but also the ES-8700 iSCSI/NFS cluster with Open-E DSS V6, as well as the Nexenta-based ES-2800 storage appliance among others."

The total price for the ESDS-S16F-G2850, for example as a single controller system equipped with 16 x 1 TB nearline hard disks and four 8Gb FC ports, amounts to €8,913.10 including VAT (€7,490.00 without VAT).
