Tiered Storage

Segment your SAN architecture according to application requirements




  • Storage connectivity over IP for reduced network deployment and operational costs. Save up to 70% of the cost of an FC SAN.
  • The most cost effective way to add servers or workstations to your SAN, especially lower-end servers and workstations where native FC is not economically feasible.
  • The V-Switch 3440 is compatible with Fibre Channel ANSI standards FC-AL2, FC-PLDA, FC-FLA, FC-PH-3 and FCP, allowing you to add almost any array to your storage network.

    • "We are now able to utilize our storage space so much more effectively. Network storage costs have sunk to one tenth of what they were prior to the IP SAN implementation."

  • Storage management resides in the switch so you can -
    • Manage all of your storage from one convenient location.
    • Reduce the cost of additional arrays by eliminating the need to purchase intelligence for each array.
  • Volume management allows you to pool storage across enclosures for increased storage utilization.
  • Data backup and redundancy features include full RAID functionality, data mirroring and more.

    • "We found competing products at higher price points that didn’t match SANRAD’s feature set."

  • iSCSI portals, user identities, target authentication and/or RADIUS/CHAP integration allow you to secure your data.
  • When incorporating Nexsan's SATABeast RAID array, pricing is as low as $1,080 per TB.

    • "Put simply, the V-Switch has been solid and dependable since day one. Dramatic improvements like dynamic storage allocation have made previously complex tasks so much simpler."
