Storage - iSCSIPOWERFUL IP/SAN STORAGE APPLIANCE SOLUTIONOverviewThe iX-I3160S/R leverages the performance edges by the 5th generation ASIC400 RAID architecture, RAID6 protection, ease of management by the latest SANWatch revision, and data service features such as snapshot and multi-pathing for optimal level of fault tolerance.
With exceptional flexibility in cabling and configuration for an IP SAN, the iX-I3160S/R marks an equilibrium between economics and vigorous features. The iSCSI Advantage iSCSI is a new technology that lets you build powerful network storage systems using standard Ethernet networks and low-cost hardware. iSCSI's TCP/IP underpinnings mean that even small businesses can create powerful SAN and DAS systems and extend them over far greater distances-even over the public Internet-at fraction of the cost of older, proprietary storage technologies. Combined with high reliability and its built-in security systems and controls, iSCSI is rapidly becoming the storage technology of choice for organizations of all sizes. Higher Performance, Lower Costs The iXsystems iX-I3160 storage appliance delivers an advanced iSCSI storage solution on par with enterprise-class networked storage, but at a fraction of the cost. Created by iXsystems industry leading engineering team, the iX-I3160 storage appliance offers line-rate performance and unparalleled flexibility and ease of use. Additionally, the iX-I3160 storage appliance leverages the industry standard TCP/IP protocols and works in any IP-based network environment-Windows, Linux, Unix, etc.-making integration, maintenance and update headaches virtually non-existent. This powerful combination of performance, compatibility and a dramatically lower total cost of ownership gives the iX-I3160 storage appliance the ability to deliver leading edge network storage solutions at a price that even small businesses can afford. The iXsystems iX-I3160 3U storage appliance delivers cost-effective storage consolidation for multi-server systems in a familiar IP networking environment. With the iX-I3160 you get flexibility, functionality, and performance for cost-effective e-mail and database consolidation. Contact iXsystems today for a custom quote. The iX-I3160 series are the world's first iSCSI to SAS/SATA RAID arrays with four Gigabit Ethernet ( GbE ) ports on each controller. They help users achieve best-in-class performance while benefiting from the affordability and straightforward management of IP SANs. Best-in-class Performance Combining multiple host channels into a portal group can increase the applicable bandwidth of each iSCSI session. 2, 3, or 4 GbE links can be grouped into a TCP session so that bandwidth can be expanded for a server demanding higher throughput. In an end-to-end RAID5 configuration with four host channels combined into a portal group, the iX-I3160S single controller can achieve 420MBps reads and 310MBps writes; for iX-I3160R redundant model, the performance can be further improved to 700MBps reads and 320MBps writes. Scalability: Expansion over SAS Wide Links: Similar to Fibre Channel expansion loops, SAS expander technologies also enable the ease of connections when the need arises for more capacity. All you have to do is to attach the cables, select an enclosure ID, and power on the machine. The SAS WWN addresses will be automatically applied to all the disk drives. Features & BenefitsFeatures
