Qsan P600Q SAN Passed VMware Ready Certification

Qsan
Technology
Inc., in iSCSI SAN RAID systems and controllers for SMBs,
announced that its iSCSI
IP
SAN
P600Q
has passed the VMware
Ready
Certification
for vSphere 5 and VAAI (vStorage APIs for Array Integration).

This accreditation assures
customers of the Qsan P600Q’s performance, scalability
and agility in a VMware virtual server environment.

Benefits of the VMware-Ready
Qsan P600Q RAID system:

• Improves storage performance by
  integrating with supported hardware through the latest version of
  VMware vSphere.
• Offloads server and network loading
  by reducing the redundant IO paths, overheads and server CPU cycles
  without impact on storage performance.
• Speeds up provisioning of new
  virtual machines, such as moving a VM, starting it, creating a new VM
  from a template, taking snapshots or stopping a VM.
• Increases VM density through
  improved scalability and reliability.

"Now supporting vSphere 5
and VAAI, P600Q offers greater interoperability with new
virtualisation features including native integration with supported
hardware and eliminates data flow with less need for VMFS to use
storage from the storage pool," said Daniel Lin, sales
director at Qsan. "This is really valuable to our customers
especially when virtualisation and storage integration are so
critical in VM deployments. What’s more, Qsan provides this
additional functionality at no additional cost to customers."

Qsan’s P600Q is a 10GbE iSCSI, 6G
SAS performance IP SAN system. The redundant and hot-pluggable
design makes this iSCSI RAID array a HA system for
industries processing amounts of random access data. The P600Q
includes QiSOE (Qsan Hardware iSCSI offload engine) as well as
QReplica for remote replication and QThin for thin provisioning. It
also offers two connector options: GBIC and SFP+ cable plus RJ45 and
Cat6A cable.

In addition to VMware, P600Q also supports Citrix and
Hyper-V.
