As data grows and becomes ever more critical to your organization, you need a storage solution that provides extreme reliability, along with flexible scale. However, traditional disk-based systems all suffer from one problem: Disk drives fail. It is an accepted fact of data center life. The more drives you have, the more failures you must deal with. In fact, the majority of storage related service events are caused by drive failures.
This is a time-consuming, risky, and expensive problem. When a drive fails, someone must replace it. That takes
valuable time and puts your data at risk. And as the size of drives increases, so does the rebuild time. In addition, a good portion of your maintenance agreement cost is undoubtedly for such anticipated replacements.
However, this is not the way things have to be. Xiotech Corporation is changing the rules of the storage game, with revolutionary technology that eliminates virtually all disk-related service events. This solution delivers reliability and scalability unmatched in the storage industry-and comes with an unprecedented five-year hardware warranty.
The Solution: Emprise 7000
Xiotech's Emprise 7000 system is a nested, virtualized solution based on Intelligent Storage Element (ISE) technology and Xiotech's proven virtualized, distributed cluster architecture.
The ISE is a tightly integrated storage environment, purpose-built to maximize reliability and performance. Each ISE includes one or two sealed DataPacs (capacity modules) and dual Managed Reliability Controllers, which locally manage cache, data protection processes, and more. This unique design, along with Xiotech's proven management software, delivers a full-featured storage solution that is extremely reliable, scalable, and easy to use.
Emprise 7000 Highlights
Reliability: The ISE's patented diagnostics and self-healing capabilities effectively eliminate the vast majority of storage-related service events. With Xiotech's proven distributed cluster architecture and a variety of replication options, Emprise 7000 addresses all the causes of downtime to keep your data and applications online and accessible.
Scalability: Each ISE offers 20 to 40 times more capacity than a typical drive, enabling Emprise 7000 to scale from just over a terabyte to one peta byte within a single system-with fewer managed components. Emprise 7000 also offers linear scaling of performance, so you can dramatically speed processing simply by adding ISEs.
Ease of Use: Emprise 7000 systems simplify both storage and server management, lowering operational costs. Existing IT personnel can effortlessly manage growing storage, leaving more time to focus on strategic initiatives.
Technical innovation isn't the end of the story. Xiotech is strongly committed to your satisfaction. We offer the tools, training, and services that help you make the most of your storage solution.
