NAS with your existing Storage

So you have an existing SAN with excess storage or perhaps you need to look at some of the capacity as file based rather than block.

Sure you can purchase a new NAS with some storage. An alternative is to carve up some of your existing storage with the help of a RELDATA NAS Gateway.

Highly scalable, Clusterable and High Availability

By leveraging industry-standard Fibre Channel, SCSI, SAS or iSCSI storage arrays, the RELDATA 9240-enabled IP storage systems provide the performance and throughput of more expensive Fibre Channel or enterprise NAS solutions at a much lower cost.

• Its modular architecture lets organizations easily expand block and file-based storage capacity to meet demand, seamlessly consolidate underused storage assets, and ensure availability of data.

RELDATA Unified Storage Gateways feature vendor-agnostic storage resource interoperability and consolidation. They offer:

• Interoperability with industry-standard Fibre Channel, SCSI, SAS and iSCSI disk and tape storage resources
• Certification with disk arrays and tape libraries of leading storage vendors
• Software RAID levels 1, 4, 5 and 6
• Ability to use simple JBOD arrays for storage consolidation or expansion
• Seamless extension of existing Fibre Channel SAN
• Active-passive failover and load balancing features
• Unified SAN & NAS Storage Provisioning over IP

RELDATA solutions deliver scalable truly parallel iSCSI SAN and NAS storage from a single pool of shared storage. In today’s heterogeneous Windows, Linux or Unix environments, the RELDATA Universal IP Storage Gateways provide:

• Dedicated block-level iSCSI target volumes, or CIFS and NFS file systems
• Centrally managed virtualized storage volume pool
• Boot-over-IP capability eliminates any need for the direct attached storage.

The Gateway also provides:

• IP-based data replication features on block- and file-level
• Point-in-time volume snapshots including writable snapshots
• Snapshot-based incremental volume replication
• Local and remote volume mirroring
• Disk-to-disk and disk-to-tape backups of files
• IPsec encryption and CHAP authentication
• NAS that’s fully integrated with both Network Information Services (NIS) and Active Directory Services.

The RELDATA Gateway is available from Sunstar Company.

Also available is the RELATA Unified Storage solution, basically the Gateway with drives and fully configured.
