Emerging iSCSI & SAN Technology

Over the past several years, storage-hungry applications such as e-commerce, data warehousing and online multimedia have placed enormous demands on computing infrastructures, not only from a network capacity perspective, but also increasingly from a storage capacity perspective. Furthermore, the trend toward the consolidation and deployment of modular, rack-mounted server capabilities has pushed storage outside of the server.

These factors, along with the need for IT managers to effectively manage vast amounts of storage, have created the need for a robust, scalable and manageable external storage solution. The storage-area network (SAN) was designed to meet these needs. The SAN offers IT managers the ability to move storage onto a storage-specific network, where it can be consolidated and managed with tools and processes specifically designed for this purpose.

The UltraStor™ Advantage

UltraStor™ has the advantages over other hardware used in SAN: it runs on either SCSI or Fibre Channel ports and provides redundancy and fault tolerance as required RAID feature in many mission critical applications. Top-rated redundant hot-swap 300watt power supply and triple hi-speed hot-swap blowers from Delta Electronics, the leader in the power & electronics industry, demonstrates our emphasis on providing superior quality on hardware components in order to meet the 100% uptime required by the backup application. The Power PC based processor deployed in UltraStor™ RAID engine proved not only reliable, but also excelled in speed performance, reduced the time involved in data recovery.

Enterprise Class UltraStor™
Integrated seamlessly between the award-winning RAID protected UltraStor™ and the Danz Backup software is the winner in the league.
