Best-in-class Performance

Combining multiple host channels into a portal group can increase the applicable bandwidth of each iSCSI session. 2, 3, or 4 GbE links can be grouped into a TCP session so that bandwidth can be expanded for a server demanding higher throughput. In an end-to-end RAID5 configuration with four host channels combined into a portal group, the S16E single controller can achieve 420MBps reads and 310MBps writes; for S16E redundant model, the performance can be further improved to 700MBps reads and 320MBps writes.

Scalability: Expansion over SAS Wide Links:

Similar to Fibre Channel expansion loops, SAS expander technologies also enable the ease of connections when the need arises for more capacity. All you have to do is to attach the cables, select an enclosure ID, and power on the machine. The SAS WWN addresses will be automatically applied to all the disk drives.

Flexible Hard Drive Choices with Either SAS

The S16E is a perfect choice for budget-conscious companies. Besides leveraging existing investments in an Ethernet network, the S16E also grants users the flexibility to intermix SAS drives for a tiered storage environment: higher-RPM and reliable SAS drives for critical and I/O-intensive access, while large SATA drives for less-critical data, archive, or D2D backup.

Software Features

SANWatch: SANWatch provides all functions necessary to discover, configure, administer, and monitor Infortrend's RAID arrays. Its unified GUI brings you simplicity in using all the features which enable data protection and high availability. Whether single or many, via Intranet or Internet, the status of your subsystems is always at your fingertips.

EonPath:The EonPath drivers coordinates with Microsoft MPIO, runs on Solaris and Linux platforms, provides fault tolerance for multiple data paths and load-balancing algorithms. The EonPath also enables access through an alternate path in the event of single cabling failure.
