Easily add up to 6TB of raw storage (with 500GB HDDs) without
system downtime for future storage capacity needs. SATA drives
currently provide higher capacity at a lower cost than SCSI or
Fibre Channel drives.
Flexibility for optimizing performance and fault tolerance.
Processing performance to meet the demanding needs of storage
virtualization.
Provides redundancy capability for SAN management software.
• Easy to use graphical interface for Windows* and Linux.
• Intuitive management console for configuration, auto-discovery, and remote
diagnostics.
• Ability to configure and provision volumes quickly without taking the system or
existing volumes offline.
• Manage disk volumes in real-time, including size and accessibility.
• Ability to dynamically increase capacity of available storage pool.
• Allows volume provisioning in excess of actual physical capacity.
• Saves upfront disk investment until additional capacity is actually required.
• Ability to manually make single or multiple copies of data volumes.
• Provides authentication for secure access to data volumes using CHAP w/ iSCSI
connectivity.
• SAN Management application runs under a storage optimized Linux kernel.
• Complete O/S and application is contained on redundant Disk on Memory (DOM).
• Multi-node virtualization which allows a group of SAN systems to act as a single
storage pool.
• Load-balancing / pooling allows for resource sharing between the storage from all
SAN systems in the cluster.
• Replication enables data to be split among all systems in a group in redundant and
non-redundant configurations.
• Ability to automate process of scheduling volume snapshot copies (base software
only offers manual snapshot capability).
• Allows dynamic snapshot sizing to capture only incremental changes between
snapshots to optimize disk utilization.
• Asynchronous remote copy feature that allows for snapshots to be taken between
multiple sites (over LAN or WAN) for disaster recovery.
