StoreAge Networking Technologies Ltd. Friday rolled out a new network storage system designed to work across corporate networks.
Dubbed Distributed Enterprise Storage, the architecture is based on
multiple SAN controllers integrated in open system servers connected via a
fibre channel loop or switched fabric.
SAN controllers run hierarchies of software modules equipped with RAID
manager, volume manager and a variety of storage applications. Central
management of the architecture is accessed through Internet or intranet
with a standard browser.
RAID manager provides protection for limitless RAID sets created over the
entire lot of disks on the SAN. Volume Manager is a host independent
software module that runs on StoreAge’s SAN controller.
DES architecture allows the development of SAN beginning with a small work
group environment and gradually growing to support multiple servers with
many terabytes of enterprise storage.
StoreAge’s bread and butter is providing cost effective storage solutions
to the enterprise market with a focus on SAN architecture.
