InfraStor's StorDOMAIN™ platforms are storage provisioning
appliances with native iSCSI and optional Fibre-Channel SAN
connectivity that allow automated storage provisioning, synchronous
mirroring, asynchronous replication, unlimited scalability, and more.
The StorDOMAIN Modular Storage Server (MSS) models offer the
simplicity of a plug and play rack-mount appliance with integrated RAID
storage. Capacities from 1TB up to 12TB in a single appliance are
available. Highly available networks of locally and remotely replicated
storage can be built on a modular basis.
The StorDOMAIN Virtual Storage Engine (VSE) provides the same
capabilities but is designed to manage any heterogeneous mix of
external storage capacity as an integrated storage pool, regardless of
the type of storage or its manufacturer. The StorDOMAIN VSE then can
provision capacity from the pool to virtually any operating system over
iSCSI or Fibre-Channel storage area networks while protecting legacy
storage investments and reducing the costs of conventional storage
management by 75%.
StorDOMAIN MSS: Stand-alone, Modular Upgrade, or Disaster Recovery
Appliance
Organizations that have deferred their implementation of a SAN because
of the perceived complexities and costs can use the StorDOMAIN™ MSS
storage provisioning appliance as an all-in-one solution to immediately
begin provisioning virtualized storage.
On the other hand, data centers with established Fibre-Channel SAN's
can also use the StorDOMAIN™ MSS as a cost-effective modular approach
to tiered SAN storage.
The StorDOMAIN™ MSS can be used to rescue servers with storage
capacity problems, provide targets for Disk-to-Disk backup, or
provision storage for shared work-group access.
Easy to Implement: An Instant iSCSI SAN
The StorDOMAIN™ MSS requires no routers or switches to implement an
iSCSI SAN based on LAN technology. Simply connect the MSS to an
existing Ethernet LAN, and immediately begin allocating virtualized
RAID storage capacity to servers and workstations on a new, iSCSI-based
SAN.
How StorDOMAIN Works
The StorDOMAIN™ platforms leverage three groundbreaking storage
technologies: RAID storage based upon high-capacity Serial ATA (SATA)
and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives, iSCSI SAN connectivity over
Ethernet, and enterprise-class Storage Virtualization software.
Powered by DataCore's SANmelody™, the StorDOMAIN™ MSS creates
multiple virtual volumes from a pooled RAID storage resource and,
without downtime, provisions block storage capacity to servers or
workstations running almost any operating system, including Windows™,
UNIX, LINUX, Netware and Mac®.
The companion StorDOMAIN VSE can be powered either by SANmelody™ or
by SANsymphony™, DataCore's enterprise level storage provisioning
software that allows unlimited scalability in capacity and storage
connection bandwidth.
Industry Standard Hardware
Built on an industry-standard hardware platform, the StorDOMAIN
platforms can meet the specific data storage provisioning and
management needs of organizations large and small.
Unsurpassed Performance
The StorDOMAIN™ storage servers provide enterprise-class high
availability and performance without the costs of proprietary hardware.
Independent evaluations have shown that commodity or mid-range storage
hardware can be transformed into a powerful storage environment with
demonstrated performance that is up to four times that of some
high-performance proprietary solutions.
