Infortrend - EonStor GS U.2 NVMe hybrid flash drive
Infortrend is launching its new EonStor GS U.2 NVMe hybrid flash storage series products - innovative 48-slot storage solutions housed in a 4U tall chassis. Infortrend's latest offering is designed to meet the growing storage requirements of today's enterprises. It's designed to provide ample data storage, high performance and easy management - all in one compact unit.
Advantages of EonStor GS U.2 NVMe solutions
Exceeding capacity limitations: Today's hybrid U.2 flash storage systems often face capacity limitations due to their compact 2U dimensions. Traditional JBOD systems, on the other hand, are not always able to support U.2 NVMe SSDs. The latest 48-slot 4U tall storage systems, such as the EonStor GS 4048U, are changing this situation by offering significantly higher capacity and performance. As a result, they meet even the most demanding business storage needs.
Reduce total cost of ownership: Using innovative 48-slot 4U-high storage devices, such as the EonStor GS 4048U and EonStor GS 3048UT, avoids the need for an additional storage shelf. As is the case with 24-slot, 2U-high devices connected to a JBOD. This saves not only on the cost of the hardware itself, but also on additional expenses related to power, switch cabling and infrastructure maintenance, leading to a significant reduction in total cost of ownership.
Simplified management: Innovative solutions not only provide significant capacity and performance, but also simplify data management. Because the needed capacity and performance are achieved in a single appliance, the need for complex configuration, monitoring and management is greatly reduced. This allows IT teams to focus on more strategic tasks instead of wasting time and resources on routine administrative tasks.
Higher efficiency and savings in storage
U.2 NVMe SSDs are becoming increasingly popular in the market because they combine the advantages of SSD, SAS and SATA drives. This allows companies to benefit from higher performance at a competitive price. The EonStor GS U.2 NVMe supports a hybrid storage model, allowing U.2 NVMe SSDs to automatically take advantage of the high bandwidth and low latency for frequently used data. At the same time, EonStor uses hard drives in expansion enclosures for backup storage, which increases system performance at a lower cost. EonStor GS U.2 NVMe storage offers inline compression and offline deduplication features. These reduce needed storage capacity and lower data storage costs. Inline compression reduces data size in real time, reducing transfer times. Offline deduplication automatically removes duplicate data, freeing up disk space.
Secure and Effective Backup on EonStor GS U.2 NVMe
The EonStor GS U.2 NVMe provides a variety of data protection mechanisms to guarantee information security. The first is the innovative RAID technology from Infortrend, which protects data from loss in the event of a disk failure. With snapshot, a flexible backup tool, it is possible to back up local storage system resources such as volumes or shared folders in harmony. If needed - it is also possible to restore previous versions. In addition, for additional security, data backups can be made on a remote GS appliance using the remote replication function or in the public cloud using the EonCloud gateway. Unmodifiable object memory, a key feature in data protection, protects data from ransomware attacks through the use of WORM (Write Once Read Many) technology. This prevents them from being modified, deleted or overwritten, even in the event of a ransomware attack. By specifying retention periods, it's easy to customize the system to comply with government regulations or internal data retention policies. For companies looking for a simple and reliable file backup tool, the EonStor GS U.2 NVMe storage can be used as a backup device. EonStor enables server functions for backing up data from computers, file servers and the public cloud via an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). In addition, backup schedules and retention periods can be configured to best suit individual needs.
New High Accessibility Standards
By using a modular design from power supplies to cooling fans, controllers to host boards, the comprehensive hardware system aims to simplify maintenance and provide fast, accurate technical support and RMA services. This carefully designed kit ensures minimal downtime, enabling continuous service delivery, improved productivity and increased competitiveness. In addition, EonStor GS U.2 NVMe storage provides High Availability (HA) service, which ensures uninterrupted availability with near-zero recovery time objective (RTO) and zero recovery point objective (RPO). With two storage devices in close locations, the HA service offers active and passive redundancy at both the block and file level, which is essential for critical business applications with low tolerance for downtime. Synchronous remote replication and automatic failover maintain identical and complete copies of data on both devices, minimizing potential service downtime. Automatic failover, available as part of the block-level HA service, enables the storage device to resume operations immediately without manual intervention.
