Introduction

Built with the latest Ethernet technology, Infortrend ES S16E-G1240 10GbE iSCSI storage systems are designed to support a powerful IP SAN delivering breakthrough performance, flexible scalability, high availability and easy management. In datacenters deployed with 10GbE backbones, the storage systems allow you to leverage your existing IP infrastructure to realize SAN consolidation and satisfy intense performance demands for throughput-demanding applications, such as server virtualization, video on-demand and remote backup, in the most cost-effective way.

High-speed SAN with Powerful Scalability

To enable IP SAN consolidation over the latest 10GbE infrastructure, ES S16E-G1240 iSCSI-to-SAS/SATA storage systems with two 10GbE iSCSI host ports on each controller. Powered by the new-generation RAID engine, the systems deliver outstanding performance to meet the service levels required by your virtualized datacenters and throughput-demanding applications. When data grow beyond the capacity threshold of a single system, you can scale it up to house a maximum of 112 drives through expansion enclosures. By flexibly intermixing high-performance SAS and large-capacity SATA drives in the configuration, you can leverage your budgets to fulfill various data requirements in the most efficient way. Coupled with the broad support for enterprise-level OS and server virtualization, the S16E iSCSI-to-SAS/SATA arrays are ideal data storage for top-tier applications

High Availability and Reliabiity

ES S16E-G1240 is based on a High Availability (HA) modular design. All main hardware modules, including controllers, power supplies, and cooling fans, come in redundant pairs to achieve high fault-tolerant capability. ES S16E-G1240 also provides comprehensive RAID functions to protect data against drive failure. When one or two drives fail, you can still have continuous accessibility to the data of full integrity while the hot spare is used to restore the data volume back to its RAID-protected state. To better safeguard cached data, the G6 arrays also come with new CacheSafe technology. In the event of a power outage, the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) will automatically supply power to write cached data into flash module for permanent retention, which eliminates the common 72-hour battery power limitation that can cause data loss

Easy Management

Through the feature-rich SANWatch management suite, users can centrally manage multiple subsystems locally or remotely over a LAN/WAN. An overview of all subsystems is displayed on the portal window providing status summary and event information. With only a few clicks, you can easily access the functions necessary to configure, manage, and monitor the arrays. Besides providing all firmware features through a user-friendly GUI, SANWatch also supports script-based configuration of multiple subsystems at a time. When critical events happen, the system will automatically notify you through various configurable methods for proactive handling
