GigeNET Updates Cloud Servers With “20X-30X Faster” SAN Technology

GigeNET has released its SAN with TurboIO.

The release comes as the result of almost a year of R&D by the technical team at GigeNET. Their goal is to provide the robust, reliable and performance Cloud Servers for organizations and individuals.

The new SAN has a caching technology for read and writes. It automatically prioritizes data according to what needs to be accessed more frequently by placing that data on ultra high speed RAM-based SSD technology. All VMs on this new SAN should see an increase in performance to the tune of 20-30 times faster than the previous technology.

GigeNET has also redesigned their HA system. It is 100% redundant and is designed to protect your data. Even if an entire disk shelf is lost, your VM and your data will remain complete and online. However, GigeNET does warn us, this is not a substitute for backups. It advises every client to make sure their data is backed up in some way or to take advantage of their R1Soft solution for backups.

The SAN also has the ability to scale by adding several hundreds of TB of additional space and the ability to take more caching devices. This means the next time GigeNET needs to add more capacity to the cloud it will done on-the-fly.

The new pool on the SAN is running the latest version of Citrix (6.x). Over the next few weeks, clients will notice some updated templates as well as a library of applications including updated CentOS templates and others that weren’t previously available.

Upcoming Features:

• AnyCast IPs,
• Automated Clustering and
• Automated Application Installs
