Storage Solutions for All Enterprises

Today, large and small businesses alike are under pressure to manage rapidly-growing storage environments. Large amounts of data are still directly attached to servers—a configuration that is difficult to scale and results in lower service levels.

To use storage resources efficiently and economically, the best solution is to consolidate disparate storage configurations. By reducing points of management, you can make storage administration easier and improve service levels, while facilitating data provisioning, backups, and disaster recovery. The challenge has been to find a consolidated storage solution that is easy to deploy, as well as to operate and maintain.

With PS Series arrays, the benefits of storage consolidation are available to all enterprises. Grouping together one or more PS Series arrays enables you to manage them as a single storage system. Now, businesses can leverage their existing IP network infrastructure to deploy an easy-to-manage and full-featured iSCSI SAN.

To make storage management simple and efficient, PS Series arrays use virtualization technology that masks the underlying complexity of the storage configuration—saving administrators time and effort. An IP network is used not only to connect hosts and applications to storage, but also to connect arrays to each other, providing a communication mechanism through which arrays share configuration data and collaborate during automatic data provisioning and load balancing.

Self-managing PS Series arrays enable administrators to quickly and easily make configuration changes—without disrupting running applications. You can add more arrays to a group to seamlessly scale capacity and performance or replicate data over long distances for a simple, yet robust disaster recovery plan. With support for a variety of operating systems, PS Series arrays ensure that you can consolidate all your storage in a easy-to-grow and easy-to-use SAN.
