Increase Your Storage ROI
Simple, scalable, highly available
Enterprise-wide storage demands a system that’s simple to manage, seamlessly scalable, and continuously available. ONStor Scalable NAS Systems meet those requirements with a host of advanced features all intended for one purpose: to streamline your storage management.
Virtual servers for granular management
If you’ve ever had one server overloaded while a nearby server sits idle, you know the problem of resource utilisation. ONStor overcomes this with virtual servers that let you redistribute resources on the fly. The virtual server is a unique virtual entity – with its own name and IP address – that can be transparently moved among filers in the cluster. Users see it as a permanent mount point that never changes. For you, virtual servers make load balancing and performance scaling a snap. And, with this level of granular management, you can easily accommodate performance or availability SLAs for specific applications.
Storage virtualisation for fast, simple scaling
Put an end to complex capacity management with ONStor AutoGrow. All ONStor NAS Systems feature single-pool storage, so capacity can be added once then deployed where it is needed most. ONStor's AutoGrow feature automatically assigns available capacity to volumes, file sets, and file systems based on policies such as pre-determined soft and hard capacity limits. Capacity addition takes just minutes. Capacity management takes no time at all.
Superior Windows interoperability
At ONStor, Windows interoperability means much more than simple CIFS protocol support. ONStor’s native Windows protocol implementation incorporates broad support for Windows management – including Active Directory and Access Control Lists – and a rich feature set that provides a familiar user experience for Windows administrators and users. To ensure ongoing Windows compliance, ONStor is a member of the Microsoft Communications Protocol Program.
Faster backup
ONStor NAS Systems let you quickly backup data at any time. Backup copies can be created from snapshots, thus eliminating open file issues. Plus, ONStor’s unique multiprocessor architecture allows backup jobs to proceed with little or no impact to file serving performance. The backup window becomes a thing of the past.
If nearline storage is what you need, deploy ONStor with inexpensive SATA-based disk. ONStor's Data Mirror software application gives you continuous data replication and near-instantaneous data restore for a fraction of the cost of a nearline storage appliance. |
