AC&NC Introduced JetStor X RAID Platforms With QSAN Technology

A&NC Corporation introduced to American markets the JetStor X RAID platforms based on technology from QSAN technology.

Successful in Asia and elsewhere, these next-generation FC and iSCSI SAN and NAS systems merge competitive performance, 99.999% availability, and multi-petabyte scalability.

JetStor X systems are engineered for mission-critical applications like OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing), virtualized data centers, cloud and data warehouses, HPC, and high-volume e-mail, web, and file servers. They can sustain throughput of 12,000MB/s sequential reads and 8,000MB/s sequential writes and over 1.1 million sequential IO/s. Able to support heavy I/O workloads with low latency, they are also for media and entertainment environments or video surveillance.

“AC&NC is pleased to offer QSAN‘s storage solutions to U.S. customers under the JetStor X brand,” said Gene Leyzarovich, president, AC&NC. “QSAN products have been awarded the highest accolades from industry reviewers. For enterprises in all verticals that question how they’ll support data-intensive applications, JetStor X platforms are the answer.“

Versatile roster and functionality for every application
The lineup of JetStor X solutions features 2U, 3U, and 4U high-density, scalable chassis. When coupled with JBODs, the 2U JetStor 826iXD platform, for example, scales up to 2.6PB of capacity. They support both SSDs and HDDs, allowing customers to choose between searing flash performance or cost-effective storage.

“AC&NC’s large customer base will be pleased with the quality and capabilities of JetStor X storage systems,” said Steven, sales director, QSAN Technologies, Inc. “JetStor is a proven brand for outstanding storage solutions and AC&NC is renowned for its service and support.”

JetStor X platforms support the range of RAID levels to maximize performance and data protection. They have no single point of failure and feature dual-active controllers and redundant, hot pluggable components.

Moreover, JetStor X RAID solutions offer functionalities for added value and efficiencies. QCache is a secondary cache that positions SSD drives between the RAID controller and hard-disk drives, accelerating reads and writes while leveraging the economy of the mechanical drives.

The QThin thin-provisioning storage pool architecture enables each JetStor X platform to support more host servers with a fewer number of HDDs, thereby reducing acquisition costs.

QTiering auto-tiering dynamically places hot data on SSDs or faster HDDs and cold data on lower cost high-capacity drives, ensuring storage is both fast and cost-effective.

QSnap snapshots, based on block-based, copy-on-write technology, allows a volume to be quickly recovered to meet stringent RPO and RTO.

For added data protection, QClone duplicates a volume in the same storage pool as well as in a separate storage pool within the same enclosure. Subsequent clones are differential copies created using QSnap snapshot functionality.

QReplica 2.0 offers block-level, asynchronous, differential remote volume backup across the LAN or WAN. With capabilities like unlimited bandwidth, traffic shaping, and multiple connections per replication task, it a cost-effective and efficient way to perform remote backups. Additionally, the JetStor X series can support multiple topologies to suit various DR configurations.
