Virtualized Clustered Storage Systems Architected for Ease of Use, Reliability, and Adaptiveness

Magnitude Family

Data keeps growing with no signs of stopping. Part of this growth is simply a matter of the way we all work today. The increased use of email and online services, for example, leads to larger mailboxes and databases. You probably also must comply with various regulatory and industry mandates that demand the retention of more data for longer periods of time. All that data is of little use, however, if you can't access it or if access takes too long.

An effective storage solution seamlessly scales to meet your organization's growing appetite for capacity, while ensuring availability and fast access. It must also be easy to manage. Even though your needs are growing, your organization's IT budget may demand that you do more with existing staff and maximize the return on your IT investments.

The Solution: Magnitude 3D 4000 Family

The Magnitude 3D 4000 family of SAN solutions is built on Xiotech's virtualized, distributed cluster architecture. This unique system is easy to use, reliable, and adaptive to your changing needs.

  • Easy to Use: Magnitude 3D 4000 is the first storage system to offer a server-centric view of stor­age management, setting a new standard in ease of use.
