RAID disk systems

Disk RAID storage systems are the most important component of data centers, where all processed information is stored. The amount of data is growing exponentially. At the moment, data volumes on the order of PB even in medium-sized companies are not unusual. About 90 12TB disks are enough.

It becomes very important to securely store such large amounts of information and to ensure continuous access to it.

Storage manufacturers, Stovaris offers

Our product portfolio includes traditional disk arrays, all-flash arrays, hybrid storage, storage servers and cloud storage, with advanced data services to meet the demanding requirements of SAN / NAS environments. The products offered are capable of solving most data storage and sharing problems.

Infortrend's storage solutions are successfully used by many users around the world. They are used in a variety of demanding applications in both commercial and industrial markets.

Infortrend - RAID disk systems

Infortrend offers a wide range of products and solutions using leading technologies to achieve high performance, reliability and ease of use. Integrated solutions provide exceptional data processing capabilities. Specialized hardware guarantees high availability, and user-friendly tools simplify administration.

Supporting protocols such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI, SAS, SATA and SCSI, Infortrend products can be easily applied to SAN, direct-attached storage (DAS) and network-attached storage (NAS) environments. Infortrend products guarantee compatibility with Windows, Solaris, Linux, IBM AIX, HP-UX operating systems, as well as with Vmware, Oracle, Citrix and Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization software.

These solutions differ in performance, capacity scalability and number of connectivity interfaces. They are ideal as disk storage for small and medium-sized data centers. They can be used to build efficient and reliable solutions for virtualization systems - VMware's ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V with centralized disk storage. These solutions allow almost 10PB of capacity on 12TB disks and achieve read speeds of up to 11,000MB/s and write speeds of up to 5,500MB/s - ensuring smooth operation of the array even under heavy load, resulting in greater efficiency.

RAID disk systems on the market

Of the RAID storage solutions available on the market for small and medium-sized businesses, Infortrend's models stand out for their excellent price/performance ratio. Their performance ranges from 120k to 750K IOPS (without cache).

• All models come standard with 4 1Gb/s iSCSI ports;
• Each controller can be expanded with additional 8Gb/s or 16Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, 10Gb/s iSCSI or 12 Gb/s SAS (expansion cards - hostboard) or 10Gb/s FcoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet);
• Compatible with various JBOD racks from Infortrend, including a 4U model for 60 hard drives;
• Standard licenses for snapshot copies, volume copies/images and thin provisioning;
• Support automated storage tiering and SSD cache functionality for better SSD utilization, as well as remote replication (optional licenses).

Main advantages of hybrid disk arrays

We also offer a series of reliable, easy-to-manage unified hybrid storage.

Its main features are:

• Consolidate object storage, SAN and NAS into a single system, simplifying deployment and management;
• Hybrid and all-flash configurations can be selected as needed;
• Integrated object storage to reduce the cost of deploying applications from the cloud;
• Data reduction technology to ensure efficient use of available bandwidth;
• Ability to configure EonStor GS as a cloud cache;
• Two controllers and a hardware architecture without a single point of failure ensure business continuity in the event of a failure;
• Automatic failover (SMB 3.0) and multi-path support, guaranteeing downtime-free operation;
• Encryption of both stored and transmitted data;
• Integrated backup features such as snapshot copy, volume copy, mirror copy and remote replication;
• EonOne's intuitive interface for system management and resource monitoring.

Based on enhanced hardware and firmware, the EonStor GS system supports file-based (CIFS/SMB, NFS, AFP and FTP), block-based (Fiber Channel, iSCSI, SAS) and also object-based access, giving users direct access to files using a unique URL and reducing the cost of deploying applications from the cloud.

With the integration of these protocols and multi-core Intel processors, the EonStor GS provides not only exceptional flexibility, but also excellent performance in hybrid or all-flash configurations. The all-flash configuration offers performance of up to 700K IOPS, throughput of 11 GB/s for block access and 3500 MB/s for CIFS.
