Storage Solutions: iStor Networks Delivers High Performance iSCSI Solutions
iStor Networks, Inc., a leading manufacturer of network storage solutions, will demonstrate its flagship GigaStorATX at Storage Networking World, April 16th to 19th in San Diego. SNW is one of the world's largest conferences for IT managers, storage architects, infrastructure professionals and storage buyers. The end users will experience the GigaStor's compelling price/performance proposition firsthand in the SNW Solutions Center and IP Storage Hands-On Lab organized by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA). Small and medium sized businesses now have access to enterprise-level performance at attractive SMB level pricing. The GigaStorATX provides over 80,000 IOPS for I/O intensive applications and up to 1160MB/Sec on bandwidth-streaming applications and is available as a 1GbE solution with up to 8 ports or a single port 10GbE package.
"Our participation in the SNW Solutions Center and Hands-On Lab enables us to demonstrate the benefits GigaStor offers in a real-world network environment," said Peter Cmaylo, vice president of worldwide sales and business development at iStor Networks. "Users can ‘test drive' our products on the spot and learn how we can address their specific storage challenges."
In the SNW Solutions Center, iStor will have three demonstrations to showcase the robust capabilities of the GigaStor technology to the storage market place. In the first demo area, iStor will demonstrate a storage resource management application providing storage monitoring and status reporting via SNIA standard Storage Management Interface (SMI). This demonstrates iStor's leadership and commitment to storage management standards.
The second demonstration presents to the audience a secure and effective e-mail, data management reporting through the GigaStor iSCSI IP technology. Using the tool Jetstress 2007, iStor will validate and identify the performance of the GigaStorATX based on a given user profile/mailbox size. The GigaStorATX supports write-back, write-through, write-coalescing and multi-stream read-ahead on a volume basis by optimizing cache utilization and performance in an application dependent manner. As a result, companies lower costs, support continuous data availability and meet service level agreements.
The third iStor demo in the SNW Solutions Center will feature infrastructure optimization and real-time data graphing of 10 Gigabit technologies, the fastest growing network interface. The GigaStor 10GbE product demonstrates high bandwidth innovation, providing true 10GbE wire speed performance and maximizing infrastructure throughput by running different data profiles without the disk cache enabled allowing businesses to transport data faster and with less effort.
Each of the iStor demonstrations will utilize the iS326 storage system, which combines the speed of the GigaStorATX controller with the capacity of a flexible chassis. The iS326 supports up to 15 high capacity Serial ATA drives, providing compelling total cost of ownership for block-based applications such as email, database, video, imaging, disk-to-disk backup and near line storage. Additionally, the iS326 is an ideal solution to replace Direct Attached Storage (DAS) with a virtualized shared storage environment. The iStor solution is also ideal for customers with distributed locations by providing a SAN extension solution over IP based WANs and address SAN/NAS consolidation across a single unified fabric.
iStor Networks' products and solutions will be on exhibit at booth C104 in addition to the SNW Solution Center and as part of the IP Storage Hands-on-Lab.
