Integrated Storage Servers (ISS)

The ISS product line is ideal
for small to medium sized businesses that require the functionality
of Network Attached Storage (NAS) and/or iSCSI (IP Storage Area
Networks, IPSANs).
Available
in versions from 1U in size, up to 12U, the Integrated Storage
Servers can deliver up to 80 terabytes of storage. Multiple Integrated
Storage Servers can be controlled by EdgeWare, to provide even
higher storage capacities. The servers are
true, 64 bit servers, using multi-core 64 bit processors. Because
they are connected to EdgeWare, the Integrated Storage Servers
deliver very high performance. The servers offer extremely easy
setup, flexible file management, sustained high-speed operation
and utmost reliability. Integrated Storage Servers (with the exception
of
the 1U) offer redundant power supplies, multiple levels of RAID,
have Hot Swap and Hot Spare capabilities, and the EdgeWare OS,
providing for a wide range of data integrity tools.
Built for mission critical applications like
RAID protected centralized multi-protocol storage, remote replication,
remote mirroring and data repositories, ISS speeds data access.
It integrates network file sharing and network block level access
into a single unit, reducing the burden of storage consolidation
and file sharing in heterogeneous networks. For added
data protection,
ISS servers can be mirrored, enabling failover switching between
units should one unit fail.
Additionally, both the ISS and the Modular
Storage Servers (MSS) cansupport multiple network interface cards
(NICs). With support for 100 Mb, 1Gb and 10 Gb Ethernet, and the
ability to link NICs for improved performance, ISS and MSS can
deliver data transfer rates that rival or exceed those of Enterprise
level storage systems.
