Reshaping IT with Virtualization and the iSCSI SAN:

miSAN SANDR

The Evolution of Storage

Cybernetics has earned its reputation for innovation in developing high performance backup and storage solutions. Over the last 30 years, the company's commitment to research and development has resulted in important advances in technology that have paved the way for many of the features now commonplace in modern storage and backup devices. With the May 2008 introduction of SANDR, Cybernetics changes the competitive landscape entirely. Built into all miSAN and iSAN models of iSCSI SAN RAID disk storage devices, the revolutionary SANDR engine delivers protection from every threat to data, across every point of its lifecycle - and it does it at the hardware level. SANDR is an incredibly robust solution for comprehensive disaster recovery that is also simple to use and affordable for organizations large and small. Finally with SANDR, solutions for high availability, continuous data protection, and off-site archival storage are available in a single product.

Virtualization and the iSCSI SAN

Virtualization and the iSCSI SAN are reshaping IT. Virtual machines and virtual storage lower cost and complexity, while raising the bar for uninterrupted user access to important production servers and storage. iSCSI SAN delivers the most efficient storage and backup solutions to the small to medium businesses, where Fibre Channel is simply not viable. Cybernetics miSAN and iSAN solutions couple virtualization and iSCSI SAN for unprecedented performance, reliability, availability, and value. SANDR technology presents disk capacity to servers and virtual servers exactly as direct attached storage. A local drive letter is available to the server(s) for files, databases, or other applications.

The Need for Disaster Recovery

Threats to data availability lurk everywhere and there are many variations on a data disaster. However, disasters generally fall into two fundamental categories.

• Catastrophic Failure

• Data Corruption
  

Regardless of whether data loss is a result of hardware melt-down, natural catastrophe, or accidental or deliberate corruption, a full backup and/or remote access are required for recovery. Cybernetics’ new SANDR not only delivers live storage with exceptional speed and reliability, it also protects data from every threat category.
