Benefits
 

Now SMBs/SMEs can get the benefits of using a SAN, but do not want to have to deal with the complications, compatibility problems, cost and specialised knowledge required to implement a Fibre Channel-based SAN.
Key Differentiators
 
  • Handles demanding IP SAN workloads
  • Advanced storage functionality at industry-leading value
  • Flexible and Scalable
  • Choice of SAS or SATA expansion
  • Maximum data protection
  • For Windows, high availability features ensure that users never lose access to critical data
  • SAN-wide management
  • Simple, automatic provisioning (for Microsoft Windows environments)
Customer Needs
 

The iSCSI specification allows SMBs/SMEs to get the benefits of a SAN using highly compatible, low cost and widely understood Ethernet networking to create an IP SAN

  • All major operating systems support IP SANs including Windows, Linux and VMware

iSCSI Storage applications include:

  • Storage for Exchange, SQL, Oracle, SharePoint or other transactional systems
  • Storage for backup and restore
  • Storage for data mining
  • A component of a high availability architecture for mission-critical applications
Capacity
 

Base configuration of 3TB. Add up to 8 SANbloc S50 JBODs for a maximum of 96 SAS drives (28.8TB) or 44 SATA drives (33TB) for a maximum system capacity of 36TB.
