Infortrend Releases new hybrid models featuring both 8Gb Fibre Channel (FC) ports and 1GbE iSCSI ports. The single-controller ESDS S16F-G2842 and ESDS B24F-G2842 enables SMBs to deploy FC SANs delivering outstanding price-performance and achieve highly cost-effective remote replication with the iSCSI ports. The enterprise-class data protection and exceptional performance of the ESDS S16F-G2842 and ESDS 24F-G2842 are ideal for mission-critical environments.

High-Availability Product Design Delivers Great Price-Performance

Data availability is critical to any business operation. The Infortrend EonStor DS storage solution features high-availability hardware designs with redundant, hot-swappable hardware components, such as power supplies and cooling fans, to eliminate single point of failure. Hardware RAID protection ensures data accessibility during drive failure. In the event of a power outage, CacheSafe technology will automatically leverage the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) to safeguard cached data by writing it to the flash module for permanent retention.

Data Protection Services

To protect valuable data sets against more critical threats, EonStor DS also supports storage-based snapshots and volume copy/volume mirror. In case of human errors or data volume failure, data availability can be achieved with minimal downtime by employing the EonStor DS snapshot and volume copy/volume mirror features. Leveraging Infortrend's world-class RAID engine, the EonStor DS FC-Series delivers up to 2,500MB/s Read and up to 1,100MB/s Write performance for demanding business applications.

Remote replication leverages the power of storage systems to copy data between storage pools or systems in IP or FC SAN at different sites. When source data fails due to system malfunction or accidents, users can leverage the disk-based remote copy to restart service in minutes. If users would like to transfer responsibility back to the source, it can be quickly synced with the remote copy for only differentials. To further ensure the integrity of the remote data, remote replication allows users to protect the remote copy with snapshot technology. Granular snapshot images can help restore the corrupt remote copy in seconds when it is required to resume business service.

Thin provisioning technology allows users to allocate a large amount of virtual capacity for an application server regardless of the physical capacity actually available. Actual space is used only when data writes occur. By automatically allocating system capacity to applications as needed, thin provisioning technology can significantly increase storage utilization. Thin provisioning also greatly simplifies capacity planning and management tasks.
