One Storage Platform Supports
Fibre Channel, iSCSI, InfiniBand, SAS and NAS

A single platform supports multiple host connection types

No need to use multiple storage systems for data sharing

SAS or SATA hard drives

Up to 128TB per system

Remote Mirror / Remote Replication / Remote Volume / Duplication

◆ Fibre Channel, iSCSI, InfiniBand, SAS and NAS
In real production environments, different servers require different connections for storage access. VSTOR supports Fibre Channel, iSCSI, InfiniBand, SAS and NAS connections allowing total flexibility in access.
Depending on the work load, some servers may need to access storage with high performance InfiniBand, SAS or Fibre Channel connections. Less intensive server work loads can be attached via iSCSI or NAS, without any additional work by the system administrator.

◆ Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
VSTOR provides Remote Mirror and Replication features out of the box. With the VSTOR Remote Mirror/Remote Replication features, block data is continuously replicated from VSTOR, to secondary storage, across any distance, without disrupting enterprise operations or causing downtime. To reduce network usage and storage utilizations, VSTOR sends only changed data blocks to your disaster recovery storage.

◆ Multi-Protocol Storage Gateway
The VSTOR is a network-based solution designed to provide heterogeneous access to iSCSI, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel data sources. The gateway can help you make the most of the virtualization capability across your existing storage infrastructure to support an expanded set of business applications. With VSTOR gateway, organization can easily convert iSCSI, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel data sources into NAS, iSCSI, InfiniBand or Fibre Channel.

◆ Storage Virtualization
VSTOR Advanced Storage Virtualization technology allows you to take full advantage of the system capacity by treating the entire RAID system as a contiguous pool of storage. This storage pool can then be apportioned into several virtual disks without needing to rebuild RAID sets. A system administrator can then easily create, delete, mirror coy and modify volumes at a high level of granularity without worrying about the configuration of the physical drives. Severs can be assigned precisely the right amount of storage required – ensuring the most optimum utilization of your storage resources.

◆ Multi-Path I/O
In order to reduce the downtime caused by bad cables, broken switches, adapters and controllers, VSTOR supports redundant physical path connections to hosts. In the event that one or more of these components fails, causing the path to fail, multi-path logic uses an alternate path for I/O so that applications can still access their data in VSTOR.

VSTOR Management Console uses a browser-based user interface that is simple and intuitive.

←　Array Features

◆ System administrators can create different types of RAID configurations (RAID 0, 1, 3, 5 or RAID 6) based on system and application requirements.
◆ RAID 6 is designed to tolerate two simultaneous hard drive failures by storing two sets of distributed parities. For customers.
◆ This means a significant increase in data reliability in the array.

Volume Functions　→

◆ VSTOR Management Console enables system administrators to easily and quickly configure different sizes and number of arrays and volumes.
◆ In addition, you can control various Volume Management tasks from this menu, ranging from Start, Stop, Delete, Duplicate, to Mirror Volume , all with a few simple clicks.

←　Host Channel Data Flow Monitor

◆ Resource Monitor allows system administrators to examine activities in the VSTOR system in real-time.
◆ Host Sample utility collects real-time data.
◆ Customers can monitor read / write or I/O speeds (among other metrics) to improve utilization and performance.

 

Volume Read Write Monitor　→

◆ VSTOR Management Console also includes utilities that provide statistics on each Volume.
◆ Based on the reports, system administrators can further fine tune the system.
