Infortrend Releases the First of there 10Gb iSCSI to SAS/SATA RAID Solutions. Built upon the latest Ethernet technology, Infortrend’s next-generation 10GbE iSCSI storage systems are designed to support a powerful IP SAN delivering breakthrough performance, flexible scalability, high availability and easy management. In datacenters deployed with 10GbE backbones, the storage systems allow you to leverage investments on IP network to realize SAN consolidation and satisfy harsh performance demands for throughput-demanding applications, such as server virtualization, video on-demand and remote backup, in the most cost-effective way.
High-speed SAN with Powerful Scalability
To enable IP SAN consolidation over the latest 10GbE infrastructure, Infortrend furnishes all its EonStor G6 iSCSI-to-SAS/SATA storage systems with two 10GbE iSCSI host ports on each controller. Powered by the new-generation RAID engine, the systems deliver outstanding performance to satisfactorily meet the service levels required by your virtualized datacenters and throughput-demanding applications. When data grow beyond the capacity a single system can provide, the system can be scaled to house a maximum of 112 drives through expansion enclosures. By flexibly intermixing high-performance SAS and large-capacity SATA drives in the configuration, you can leverage your budgets to fulfill various data requirements in the most efficient way. Coupled with the broad support for enterprise-level OS, such as Windows Server 2008, TM Solaris , Linux , and server virtualization, such as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V, the 10GbE iSCSI-to SAS/SATA arrays are ideal data storage for top-tier applications.
Robust Availability and Reliability
The EonStor G6 Series is based on High Availability (HA) modular design. All main hardware modules, including controllers, power supplies, and cooling fans, come in redundant pairs to achieve high fault-tolerant capability. The G6 Series also provides comprehensive RAID functions to protect data against drive failure. If one or two drive fail(s), you can still enjoy continuous accessibility to the data of full integrity and later use hot spare to restore the data volume back to its RAID-protected state. To better safeguard cached data, the G6 arrays also come with new CacheSafe technology. In the event of an unscheduled power outage, the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) will automatically supply power to write cached data into flash module for permanent retention, which eliminates the common 72-hour battery power limitation that can cause data loss.
