IN Series product is a baseline version of the VSTOR product line.
It is equipped with High-Performance RAID hardware and advanced virtualization
options such as remote replication and mirroring. Coupled with the
ability to serve data over multiple trunked Gigabit Ethernet ports
it offers an unmatched price to performance ratio and simplicity of
use.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
VSTOR provides Remote Mirror and Replication features out of the box.
With the VSTOR Remote Mirror / Remote Replication features, data block
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 ¨C 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.
