line of IP SAN solutions throughout the Netherlands,
providing customers with the ability to build robust and high
performance IP SANs that include security, multi-pathing and
data replication ensuring 24/7 access to storage and data
resources at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions.
“Storage has
become a key element in IT strategies and is one of the
fastest-growing segments in the IT industry,” said Elmer
Gutteling, Bell Microproducts Country Manager, The Netherlands. “As
a distributor of only A-brand products, we are pleased to add
SANRAD’s V-Switch into our channel offerings for those

SANRAD’s iSCSI V-Switch
includes the iSCSI V-Switch
2000, 3000
and a browser-based management
GUI. The iSCSI V-Switch provides iSCSI -networked hosts with
secure and trusted access to a variety of logical volumes
residing on diverse storage systems within a SAN architecture.
Requiring no host agents, it operates in the data path of a
storage network, independent of servers and storage, providing a
highly scalable and easy to use connectivity and management
platform for IT professionals responsible for administering
small to enterprise class storage resources.
The iSCSI V-Switch
storage management and virtualization features gather all
physical storage resources (SCSI, iSCSI and FC) into a single
pool, enabling network administrators to define new logical
volumes from these pooled resources independent of physical
barriers such as enclosures, physical disks, protocols, and
distance. Volume management includes volume mirroring, striping,
remote copy, volume concatenation, precise LUN carving (as low
as a few hundred kilobytes), snapshot, multi-pathing, security,
port performance aggregation, selectable quality of service per
host, in addition to port, path, and switch failover.
