Adaptec Snap Server 730i - iSCSI IP SAN

The iSCSI specification allows SMBs/SMEs to get the benefits of a SAN using highly compatible, low cost, and widely understood Ethernet networking to create an IP SAN
• All major operating systems support IP SANs including Windows, Linux, and VMware
iSCSI Storage applications include:
• Storage for Exchange, SQL, Oracle, SharePoint, or other transactional systems
• Storage for backup and restore
• Storage for data mining
• A component of a high availability architecture for mission-critical applications.
Benefits

Now SMBs/SMEs can get the benefits of using a SAN, but do not want to have to deal with the complications, compatibility problems, cost, and specialized knowledge required to implement a Fibre Channel-based SAN.
Key Differentiators
• Handles demanding IP SAN workloads
• Advanced storage functionality at industry leading value
• Flexible and Scalable
• Choice of SAS or SATA expansion
• Maximum data protection
• For Windows, high availability features ensure that users never lose access to critical data
• SAN-wide management
• Simple, automatic provisioning (for Microsoft Windows environments).
Maximum Capacity
Base configuration of 3TB. Add up to 8 SANbloc S50 JBODs for a maximum of 96 SAS drives (28.8TB) or 44 SATA drives (33TB) for a maximum system capacity of 36TB.
Cross-Platform Support
Ideal for Use with Windows, Linux, and VMware
• Thoroughly tested with primary operating systems
• Boot Diskless servers from the IP SAN
• Microsoft-specific functionality
− VDS provider for easy management
 Simple SAN Component
− VSS hardware transportable snapshots
− Supports Microsoft Clusters
− MPIO for path resiliency
− HA mirroring with failover / failback
