Highly Scalable Storage Virtualization
with

                          Infortrend ESVA

With the new ESVA series(Enterprise Scalable Virtualized Architecture) Infortrend has created a storage solution that offers a lot of useful virtualization features based on Infortrend’s latest dual controller RAID systems which of course offer active/active mode performance. Several of these systems can be combined into a centrally managed group, which not only increases capacity but also uses the additional performance of all controllers (by striping data over all existing nodes) and adds the bandwidth of all ports.
A RAID group can be expanded during operation. Management of all existing nodes, data striping and load sharing is done automatically.
The ESVA system is always accessed like one RAID system, but data will be sent over all existing Fibre Channel or iSCSI connections, thus offering highest possible bandwidth.

• highly scalable, centralized SAN RAID with virtualization
• Fibre Channel: 2 x 8 Gbit per controller to host (with 2.5’’ disks: 4 Gbit)
• iSCSI: 4 x 1 Gbit per controller to host
• redundant hot swap active/active RAID controllers, model F20/F60: with new ASIC667 G6 technology
• RAID Level 5 and 6
• Expansion of single systems up to 112 disks
• ”Scale Out’” technology combines single systems to one virtual system with load balancing (increasing performance together with capacity)
• Thin Provisioning for efficient use of storage capacity
• up to 1024 snapshots, optional: remote replication
• Event notification via e-mail
• supported operating systems: Windows Server 2003, 2008, RedHat and SUSE Enterprise Linux, SUN Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, VMware ESX
• 3 years warranty and 24x7 support with NBD replacement
• optional: extended warranty, onsite Service
