Leverage Your Virtual Environment.
Virtualization allows IT managers to use a single platform for managing multiple
applications, operating systems and server environments. With virtualization, IT managers
can respond to exponential data growth while reducing operational costs, improving
efficiency and increasing return on investment. But server virtualization is just
one part of the solution. To achieve long term savings and enterprise reliability
and availability from a virtualized infrastructure you need virtual storage. iQstor’s
storage virtualization hardware and software products, VMware certified and Microsoft
Hyper-V compatible, provide an integrated solution for the virtualized environment.
Virtual Server. Virtual Storage.
In a virtual storage environment physical storage disks are presented to the server
as virtual volumes, a dynamic pool of storage capacity without regard to disk type,
connectivity, or RAID level. With virtualization, storage can be efficiently
utilized by tiering high available data on Fibre Channel drives and less frequently
accessed data stored on less expensive SATA drives. Additional capacity can be
added online and deployed to applications seamlessly without system down time.
Simplified IT operation. Reduced IT cost.
With iQstor’s centralized virtual storage pool you can reduce administrative
overhead, lower energy costs and eliminate trapped resources. You can manage
more storage capacity in less time, increasing productivity and lowering IT cost.
Easy to use software automates file system and disk partition processes, setting
thresholds and policies to provision capacity from one or more storage pools without
server interruption. The system automatically expands virtual disk space to
accommodate file system growth and continuously monitors consumption to prevent
the system from running out of storage space.
Enhanced business continuance.
One of the advantages of storage virtualization is the ability to back up more
frequently and with greater reliability. The iQ?Restor software suite provides
a rich set of software to ensure business continuity including snapshot, volume
copy and replication. Data can be automatically backed up or replicated locally or
remotely without taking applications or data offline. An entire volume or an
individual file can be restored from the replicated data.
Enterprise reliability and availability.
With fully redundant and hot swappable components, the iQstor family of products
ensures enterprise reliability and availability. Embedded software provides controller
and connection path fail over and fail back to eliminate system down time. The system
cache is backed up by battery and UPS cache vaulting so all data is saved in case of
a power failure.
