Archiving
StorTrends storage appliances provide an affordable, easy-to-use, self-
managing archiving solution, while also fulfilling your primary storage needs.
Our automated iSCSI IP-SAN includes tiering and pooling capabilities,
allowing you to archive data from a primary, high performing storage pool on
more cost efficient storage that resides in the same SAN. This eases your
operational burden and significantly reduces costs when compared with
traditional online archiving vendors.
Benefits of StorTrends IP-SAN Appliances for Data Archiving:
Tiering and pooling of archived vs. production data
Affordable, easy to set up
Self-managing functionality
Full redundancy provides 99.999% reliability
Easy to scale
Easy Manageability
AMI also offers the ManageTrends™ software for effortless monitoring and
control of the StorTrends appliance. ManageTrends™ simplifies configuration
and set-up, and makes quick work of normally complex, time consuming
tasks. Using StorTrends storage appliances to centralize storage and
ManageTrends for centralized management of data not only reduces
hardware and operating costs, but also reduces the risk of having
compromised or redundant information. StorTrends uses iSCSI technology,
thereby allowing existing network personnel manage the new storage
environment. There is no need for extensive additional training or new
storage administrators as with typical FC SAN environments.
Deployment Cost & Licensing
A key design principle is to include advanced functionality in all StorTrends
systems as a single license with no complicated and confusing multiple
licensing schemes. The result is a complete solution with built-in intelligence
and advanced features. All the advanced technology features described
above are standard on each system and require no additional software,
licenses, or cost.
For customers who are implementing networked storage for the first time and
are considering iSCSI, the StorTrends iSCSI array provides scalable iSCSI
storage as well as the flexibility and investment protection.
