Enhance Technology Expands Into
IP SAN market with New UltraStor™ IP
Hybrid Technology Provides Fast, Reliable and Affordable
Solutions
(Santa Fe Springs, CA – March 15, 2006) Enhance Technology,
a leading supplier of storage systems to the IT industry, is
expanding the award-winning UltraStor™ family of storage
systems into the storage area network markets with the
introduction of their new UltraStor™ IP product line. This
move signals the strong commitment by the company to support
and service the IT market with full breadth of RAID embedded
storage solutions. The company envisioned the new UltraStor™
IP, the intelligent iSCSI storage system, to be a more
affordable alternative than Fibre Channel and provides 10
times faster performance than found in the existing NAS
products.
The original UltraStor product line capitalized on Enhance
Technology’s hybrid storage expertise by combining IDE disk
drives with either a SCSI or Fibre Channel host interface.
The UltraStor IP utilizes newer, faster Serial ATA 3.0Gbp/s
disks and is powered by the latest micro processor to
deliver up to 220MB/s over a gigabit ethernet network,
enough bandwidth to exceed the demanding requirements of
many network based applications. With UltraStor IP, Enhance
has created a product that supports multiple hosts and runs
on both the Windows and Mac OS platforms while offering easy
configuration and integration into virtually any hardware or
software environment.
With the new UltraStor IP, Enhance has incorporated the
latest RAID 6 technology and some enterprise features such
as Snapshot, providing point-in-time recovery that safeguard
accidental deletion, makes the new UltraStor IP an ideal
solution for server storage such as Microsoft Exchange & SQL
Server, as well as professional storage applications such as
Disk-to-disk backup, database pools, image acquisition, near
line storage, data centers, media & asset management
libraries and shared SAN networks.
The UltraStor IP system has dual GbE ports, supporting full
iSCSI offload with load-balancing, and fail-over, and one
logic volume shared by as many as 16 hosts. Other new
features introduced in the UltraStor IP system include MPIO
support, S.M.A.R.T. disk monitoring, target authorization
via IP address, and Jumbo frame support.
UltraStor IP is available for immediate delivery in the RS8
IP model which has the storage options of 1 Terabyte (TB), 2
TB, 4 TB in a 2U 8-disk rackmount form factor. A 16-disk
model, the RS16 IP, will be introduced at the coming
Security events, ISC West 2006 Las Vegas, and up to 8TB
storage in a single 3U 16-disk model system configuration.
Pricing starts at $2,799. The products are available
directly from Enhance Technology or through a number of
distributors and resellers in the United States and around
the world.
