Huawei Symantec

With all the Storage Manufactures out there what sets Huawei Symantec apart from the other vendors?

8GB Fibre Channel Connectivity -It's time to look at 8GB FC solutions, the cost has dramatically reduced on 8GB HBA's and switches.

10GB Ethernet Connectivity -Use 10GB Ethernet and / or 8GB FC for faster data transfer speeds.

Supporting multiple types of disk -FC/SAS/SATA/SSD (Solid State disks) -Now you can access data at record speeds.

Use SSD disks for performance -Increase performance by combining SSD's for faster data and SATA or SAS disks for data. Use TurboBoost to monitor hotspot data and migrate it to SSD when needed.

Controller upgradability - They T series offers expansion I/O slots to the controllers so if you want to add ports of 4GB\8GB FC or 1GE\10GE\FCoE you can add the interface or add bandwidth with more ports.

The 5500 has one expansion I/O per controller and has dual controllers on a  2U 24 2.5 drive bay unit that can take SSD, SAS, SATA drives. The Redundant Dual\Dual  Core 64bit Controller can manage over 288 disks.

http://www.huaweisymantec.com/en/Product___Solution/Products/Storage/SAN/Mid_range/S5000T/

5600 and 5800 can add 12-16 more expansion I/O cards. Has built in UPS and is an advanced storage head unit and you connect our 6G SAS J-bod expiation enclosures off it. These Redundant Dual\Dual  Core 64bit Controller head units can manage over 1152 disks and up to 96GB cache on the 5800.

The N series is a High End NAS unit that can accompany the T series product and compete in the 10GE NAS space.

Why is Unified Storage a big deal for your storage environment?

Why is Unified Storage a big deal for your storage environment?
The premise of the dedicated unified storage platform is that it is inexpensive, easy to use and fast for file sharing. It masks the complexity of the RAID and volume management systems by integrating them into its management tool. The user-friendly GUI also makes the job easy for the administrator and it has become the first choice of management tools for a large scale environment.

Unified Storage devices provide the snapshot feature for user online file recovery, NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol) for backup application, mixed protocol directory access for CIFS and NFS, quota setting by user, group and tree, virus scanning for data safety, WORM file system for compliance needs and thin-provisioning for storage capacity planning. Most recently updated systems also provide data de-duplication for maximum storage utilization, disk drive spin down for reducing energy consumption and enabling the system to scale linearly via a non-disrupted file system or lun expansion. A unified storage gateway system is recommended to satisfy the file sharing need in a pure SAN environment. All these functions are evolving over time which demonstrates the flexibility of unified storage to adapt and change as end-users see their requirements change.

NavigateStorage has Unified Storage from several vendors including RelData, IceWEB,

Will SSD Improve Your Database Performance?

The fog around solid state storage is lifting. Most storage and database administrators are convinced that solid state technology is the most viable next step in storage performance. The challenge is that solid state performs so well that now there's a concern as to whether the databases placed on the platform can take full advantage of that boost in performance. Unlike mechanical storage, investments in solid state storage cannot afford to go underutilized, the price premium is just too high. Making sure that the database will take full advantage of solid state storage is the next big step in solid state adoption.

DeDupe SG

DeDupe SG is not just faster deduplication, it’s smarter deduplication. By first writing and storing backups on its high speed disk cache (deduping at a later time or concurrently), DeDupe SG reduces the amount of time needed to backup. Unlike other dedupe systems, DeDupe SG has its own independent, high performance RAID subsystem which can scale up to 8GB cache and up to 8 RAID engines. With RAID tasks off-loaded to the subsystem, CPU processing power can be solely dedicated to deduplication allowing users to backup and restore faster.

NavigateStorage finds a real solution for Windows File Management

NavigateStorage introduces AutoVirt. call us at 9789-318-9000

AutoVirt Management software for Windows storage AutoVirt is a software platform for Windows that provides storage management control from a web-based console. Use AutoVirt to automate and expedite: Data Measurement Copying Migration Replication Archiving AutoVirt provides: A solution for managing unstructured Windows file data A way to extend the native functionality of inexpensive, commodity Windows hardware Integration with mainframe NAS devices, including NetApp and EMC Celerra Out-of-band runtime operations, with no client agents An intelligent client referral service with perpetual support for client UNC names and embedded links

AutoVirt global namespace

AutoVirt inserts a global namespace to organize networked shares and shield end-users from the back-end logistics of storage management. The namespace eliminates the manual work involved in maintaining client access to networked data: it is the single authority on networked files, and automatically resolves client shortcuts to the new location.

With AutoVirt’s global namespace registering all changes to data location, it is possible to automate many storage management tasks – including those that affect data location. The AutoVirt policy engine is responsible for automating data measurement, copying, migration, replication, and archiving.

AutoVirt’s namespace and policy engine interact with both clients and networked file servers using the Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol.

Autovirt from NavigateStorage solves "what users hve been looking for."  Call or write us today for a demo  You won't be sorry you did.
