SANRAD V-Switch 3840 iSCSI Switch
Connect to and manage your storage over IP. Data replication, virtualization, mirroring, snapshot and more.
Why Buy?
- Reduces storage connectivity and maintenance costs
- Increases utilization of existing storage by as much as 90%
- Connects to any storage system over IP networks
- No HBAs required - connect as many servers as you need
Connect to any storage system across IP networks, for reduced connectivity costs at speeds comparable with FC switches.- Build heterogeneous storage networks for smart storage tiering and increased storage utilization that will reduce your storage costs. The V-Switch 3840 is compatible with FC storage arrays or SAN fabrics.
- Volume management consolidates storage resources and creates virtual storage volumes across physical disks and enclosures for maximum utilization of storage resources and optimal application performance.
- Ensure business continuity with local and remote, asynchronous and synchronous data replication, snapshot and cloning that eliminate the possibility of data loss.
- High speed data migration between storage systems at speeds of over 2TB/hour.
- Active/active switch clustering with automatic failover, failback and multi-pathing for fault tolerant access to data.
- Advanced traffic management allows you to provide separate SLAs for different applications and continuously monitor SAN traffic.
- Secure your data through access control lists and iSCSI login authentication.
- Centralized management via easy to use web GUI including volume management and data backup services.
- Removable onboard flash allows you to quickly replace or replicate V-Switch configurations, mirror the configuration database for fast recovery, replacement and replication of V-Switches.
- The V-Switch 3840 includes 8 FC ports and 3 x 1 Gb/s iSCSI Ethernet ports. 1, 2 or 4 Gb/s auto speed detection. Only 1U high, it can support up to 200 servers and over 51,000 volumes.
- Need a RAID storage solution, too? Try Nexsan's enterprise class SAS and SATA RAID arrays, with capacities ranging from 4.2TB SAS through 42TB SATA.
