AssuredSAN 5000 Pro Series: Seriously
Smart,
Real-Time Tiered Storage for Midrange
The AssuredSAN Pro 5000 Series with
RealStor software takes tiered storage to a new level – beyond competitors’
batch migration and into a new era of autonomic, real-time data tiering. With
RealStor, businesses gain the advantage of high performance SSDs,
using them to their maximum benefit, while storing less frequently accessed
data on slower, but much less expensive, HDD drives. Designed for the midrange
market, the AssuredSAN Pro 5000 Series is a high-performance, highly
available, integrated storage solution that delivers consistently
faster access to current data with built-in, real-time, autonomic tiered
storage and virtualization.

The newest member of the AssuredSAN
family, the 4000 Series sets a new Dot Hill performance standard. Designed with
a powerful processor, these systems provide accelerated performance for
sequential workloads, making them ideal solutions for HPC, telecommunications
data capture, media streaming, video post-production, and broadcasting. The
4000 Series supports 5,200 MB/s sequential reads, and 3,000 MB/s sequential
writes, ideal for HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D workflows.

PLUS-rated (greater than 80% energy efficiency) power supplies for reduced
operating costs. Additionally, AssuredSAN arrays also features Dot Hill’s
patented EcoStor ‘green’ battery-free alternative for cache memory,
which leverages a combination of super capacitors and flash memory that
outlasts traditional batteries nearly fivefold. Business benefits include lower
maintenance and disposal costs and reduced server and application down time due
to scheduled battery replacement and maintenance.
