Infortrend EonStor DS 1000 Series for SMBs

Infortrend Technology Inc. announced EonStor DS 1000 RAID systems, which redefine entry-level storage with flexible hardware options and wide data service support.

They ensure data protection, featuring endurance super capacitors for non-stop stable operation over long product lifespans. The capacitors join a flash module and BBU (backup battery unit) to deliver high data availability and BC. For backup, users also get access to snapshot and volume copy/mirror plus optional secure remote replication.

They offer up to 380,000 IO/s, 5,500MB/s read throughput, and 1,900MB/s write throughput. They outperform previous storage generations such as the EonStor DS G6 series by a large margin. With their automated storage tiering feature, they can leverage SSD and boost storage utilization for even better performance.

The products offer diverse choices so SMBs can precision-tailor solutions to their budgets and needs rather than having to choose from preset configurations. Systems include onboard iSCSI and support hybrid interfaces for flexible connectivity. In addition to 1Gb/s or 10Gb/s iSCSI, users can select 8Gb/s or 16Gb/s FC or 6Gb SAS.

“EonStor DS 1000 systems bring sweet spot storage to SMBs. Reliable, powerful, and flexible, they offer an affordable upgrade in support of growth” stated Thomas Kao, senior director of product planning, Infortrend.

EonStor DS 1012/1016 models are available, offering 12-bay/16-bay solutions. Multiple other form factors are releasing in coming months, including high density 48-bay/60-bay versions.
