| Open
Heterogeneous System Architecture |
Use any brand or type storage
system directly connected or
connected through a FC SAN fabric to
the V-Switch to create and manage a
single virtual storage pool.
Leverage existing storage and
combine any new storage from other
vendors. |
| Scalable
Virtual Storage Pools |
Dynamically create large storage
pools by consolidating many storage
systems into a centrally managed
pool that can easily scale to
several peta-bytes. |
| Efficient
Network-Based Virtualization |
Create thousands of custom
storage volumes across all the
connected storage systems within the
storage pool to improve storage
utilization and reduce storage
costs. |
| Virtual
Storage Optimized for Server
Virtualization |
Get completely autonomous
recovery of virtual servers with no
need for IT intervention. Gain
uninterrupted virtual machine access
to data even during complete system
outages, regardless of the physical
location of the virtual server. |
| Flexible
Tiered Storage |
Combine and virtualize different
storage systems into the same
storage pool to provide various
service levels, storage costs and
performance grades for different
applications. |
| High
Availability |
Use Active/Active V-Switch
clustering with automatic failover,
failback and multi-pathing for
uninterrupted access to data. |
| Easy, Live
Data Migration |
Copy over 500GB of data per hour
between storage systems without
interrupting production to eliminate
downtime and simplify storage
management. |
| Local Data
Protection |
Use local inter-campus /
inter-datacenter synchronous data
mirroring over FC or dedicated fiber
optic cables (dark fiber), snapshot,
virtual shadow copy service (VSS)
and cloning to prevent data loss. |
Enterprise-Class Disaster Recovery
(Sold as Option) |
Get robust data replication and
recovery with no disruption to IT
operations. Implement unlimited data
replication and site recovery
between V-Switches located at
facilities connected by any local,
metropolitan or wide area IP
network. No additional replication
hardware or software is required at
the server or storage level for
significant cost savings. |
| Storage
Security |
Get complete authorization
control and data protection with
Access Control Lists and iSCSI login
authentication (CHAP, SRP). |
| Simple and
Centralized Management |
Use a single, intuitive
web-based GUI or a comprehensive CLI
with SSH. |
| Compact,
Easy-to-Service Package Design |
1 unit half-rack size.
Install 2 units side by side.
For ease of use, all network and
storage connections are on the front
panel. |
