Caen Interoperable Multi-Tiered SAN

Enterprise SAN Features
This complete feature rich Storage Area Network (SAN) solution combines both high performance Fibre Channel and cost
effective SATA storage drive technologies into an interoperable multi-tiered storage solution. Our iQ1000 FC SAN offers a high
performance Fibre Channel shared storage pool with redundant dual controllers that can be scaled to 17.6TB. Drive support can
be configured using 73.4GB, 73.4GB, and 146.8GB drives to support all business applications that demand the highest input
output requirements. Our iQ1200 family offers a cost effective Serial ATA shared storage pool in both single and redundant dual
controller configurations that can be scaled to 3.75TB. Drive support can be configured using 80GB, 160GB, and 250GB drives
to support business applications that demand lower activity rates and smaller storage capacities.
Shared connectivity of both storage pools to all the most commonly available server platforms including all the latest Windows,
SUN Solaris, and Linux versions is enabled via 2 Gigabit per second Fibre Channel fabric data paths. Our interoperable multi-tiered
SAN storage solution includes our intuitive wizard-based SAN Manager to enable graphical point-and-click operations that
automatically initialize, provision, and control all iQ1000 and iQ1200 storage components. Our comprehensive suite of
enterprise-level SAN software services are also included and have been integrated as firmware into our storage controllers. Our
tightly integrated hardware and software storage platform offers enhanced operational performance and reliability yet is also
easy to implement and utilize. Our full suite of enterprise-level SAN software services provides policy based storage
virtualization and provisioning, managed snapshot volume copy and restoration, local and remote volume replication, as well as
integrated agent interfaces to popular data bases such as Oracle and SQL.
