iSCSI SAN Storage

miSAN D Series iSCSI SAN
With 5 GbE ports, 8 GB of cache, and no limit on the number of servers and volumes supported, and no limits on the number of snapshots, miSAN D iSCSI SAN storage solutions have what it takes to deliver performance to meet the higher I/O requirements that virtualized server environments demand. For high availability, our dual D Series iSCSI SAN storage is a solution with no single point of failure. With SAS ports for direct-attached tape devices, you can perform full image backup to tape of the data volumes on the SAN – with no backup window, no additional software, and no impact on your network. You can also use our eSATA and USB ports for portable disk backup. miSAN D Series iSCSI SAN storage solutions extend the benefits of virtualization like no other SAN storage solution on the market.

>	¹Per HP: "These drives have moderately-priced reliability and performance for non mission critical, low workload applications, such as disk backup, archival and reference applications."

>	If you need high availability you need a solution with no single point of failure. Putting dual controllers into an iSCSI SAN may double the cost, but it won’t eliminate a single point of failure. If you have a single chassis, you have a single point of failure in the backplane. Cybernetics’ high availability solution includes two complete miSAN units with NO single point of failure.
