Integrated Storage and Server High Availability- Automatic recovery of virtual machines at secondary site, no IT intervention needed, with cross array mirroring and active/active clustering.
- Metro cluster - synchronous mirroring in cross campus facilities ensures virtual machine recovery even in case of building failure.
- Integrated synchronous and asynchronous global data replication and disaster recovery at no additional cost.
- Storage SLAs and QoS assurances will guarantee access priority for your mission critical applications. (In beta, general availability April '09)
- Optimized IOPS for virtual servers provides performance advantage.
- Supports concurrent use of server virtualization technologies from different vendors, as well as virtualized and non-virtualized servers for easy testing and migration.
- Robust Enterprise-Class iSCSI SAN
- Up to 4 additional RAID engines per storage module for 4x performance.
- 4GB of cache with each storage system for significantly increased responsiveness.
- High speed, low latency switching for high performance throughput.
- Combine SAS and SATA drives and address high performance/high capacity needs in one solution.
- Greener storage lets you save energy and reduce operating costs without compromising performance. Drives can be transparently placed in an idle state, with configurable access speeds and energy saving levels. Find out more - white paper [PDF].
- Scalable up tp 200 servers per IP SAN, 1000s of volumes and 1PB of storage.
- All mission-critical components including RAID controllers, host connections, drives, fans and power supplies are hot-swappable and completely redundant. Use any RAID level including RAID 6 to overcome double drive failures.
- Simplified and automated management including event and component monitoring.
- All Storage Services Included in System Pricing, No Additional Licenses Required.
- Simple live data migration from existing DAS or SAN to the iSeries.
- Storage virtualization and consolidation, manage entire pool from a single high-speed interface. Volume size up to 64TB.
- Local synchronous mirroring over DWDM or FC.
- Asynchronous replication over IP LAN, MAN or WAN.
- Local and remote snapshots can be used as non-disruptive backup.
- Uses Microsoft VSS (Virtual Shadow Service) to make data consistent snapshots of Exchange, SQL and SharePoint. CLI for LINUX/UNIX snapshots.
"In a typical two-week period, we capture more than 24TB of video from our school system's video surveillance systems. We chose the iSeries to store and manage that data because it offers the right mix of performance, flexibility and value for our needs.
Because we already use the Nexsan SATABoy solution to store student data, we are very comfortable and confident going with a Nexsan iSCSI solution for this critical application."

"The array took only 20 to 30 minutes to get up and running once bolted into a rack because its configuration was simple and GUI-based.
I like the ease of the configuration and also the ease of using the storage virtualization. I created two 19TB arrays with RAID 6 and then used Nexsan's software to make iSCSI targets from the graphical interface."
