At CeBIT this year EUROstor will present a new generation of ES-8700 iSCSI RAID systems, which additionally to the already existing replication between two systems also offers automatic failover. With this a cluster solution can be installed that fulfils the needs for real high availability.
These iSCSI RAIDs, based on the Open-E's Data Storage Server software are equipped with a RAID 5 hardware controller and can be expanded to up to 122 disk drives - resulting in a maximum capacity of 122 TB on SATA disks and 54 TB on SAS disks. They are extremely flexible storage systems, offering not only volume expansion on the fly, local snapshots and options Fibre Channel ports for host connection, but they also can be used as NAS file servers under Windows and Linux.
Special with this new series: they are also available with 2.5'' SAS and SATA disk drives. Power consumption of these disks is less than a third of what a solution with the same capacity based on 3.5'' disks typically needs. Furthermore smaller cooling systems are required. Thus these systems reduce TCO and at the same time are a good step towards green IT.
"We offer these new iSCSI cluster systems with 3.5'' disks as well as with 2.5'' disks." says Franz Bochtler, President of EUROstor. "It is up to the customer to decide which technology he will use in his enterprise. In both cases he will receive a most flexible storage system that fulfils his high need for data security. With the new generation of the already most successful ES-8700 series we can offer perfect storage solutions to still more customers.
A cluster configuration of two ES-8700 systems, e.g. with 4 TB each on 8 x 500 GB disks, 2.5" with 7.200 rpm costs € 10,940.20 incl. VAT (€ 9,180.- without VAT).
