INDUS has deployed the SANRAD V-Switch as the centerpiece of an iSCSI SAN with 20 servers running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Nexsan storage and employing MonoSphere's Storage Manager suite. INDUS is one of the first SANRAD customers to take advantage of the new Microsoft iSCSI initiator, enabling customers such as INDUS to seamlessly migrate from existing direct-attached storage to the flexibility and storage TCO advantages of iSCSI SANs when running on Microsoft server platforms.

"SANRAD is the first to market with a standardized solution that was easy to manage and certainly with the iSCSI initiator from Microsoft it made the implementation much easier," said Robert Nase, Director of Corporate Information Technology at INDUS. "And they're the right price," he added.

According to Nase, the primary factor for INDUS to move from DAS to a SANRAD iSCSI SAN was the flexibility of the iSCSI SAN architecture, such as the ability to improve storage utilization instead of wasting unused storage capacity that is restricted to an individual server in a DAS environment. "We use the storage as a big pool and share it among 20 servers as a virtual storage pool," said Nase. "The servers only see a great big pool and they use the capacity as appropriate."

SANRAD's SCSI V Switches introduce all-in-one iSCSI storage networking, guaranteeing the full availability and seamless management of stored information across standard Ethernet networks, affording a complete storage continuity solution that is easy to deploy, with excellent price/performance. SANRAD iSCSI V Switches combine a truly interoperable, multiple-port iSCSI gateway with comprehensive storage services for full block-based data access, network volume management, storage continuity and traffic optimization, delivering a new dimension in the availability of vital business information using open iSCSI Storage Area Networks.
