StoneFly Bolsters IP SAN Line With New Entry-Level and High-Availability Systems
(Market Wire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) HAYWARD, CA, October 24 / MARKET WIRE/ --
StoneFly, Inc., a leading supplier of
integrated IP storage area network (SAN) systems and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Dynamic Network Factory, Inc. (DNF), today introduced two new
IP SANs as well as upgrades to its existing products. The Integrated
Storage Concentrator (ISC) 801 is a new system designed for small- and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in need of transitioning from direct
attached storage to an entry-level IP SAN, while the High-Availability
Storage Concentrator (HSC) 1601 delivers the industry's highest levels of
redundancy to organizations in need of maximum data protection.
Now available, the new ISC-801 is an easy-to-deploy "IP SAN-in-a-Box" that
provides everything customers need for enterprise-class SAN storage, at an
entry-level price. It installs in minutes and features centralized storage
management and integrated business continuity, with support for eight
drives and up to 4TB of storage.
"The ISC-801 gives growing companies the perfect introduction to all that
IP SANs have to offer, while the HSC-1601, along with the powerful new
features now available for our existing IP SANs, will ensure that our more
established customers can meet and exceed today's escalating IT
requirements," said Mo Tahmasebi, CEO of DNF.
The HSC-1601 replaces the HSC-1420, and supports 10GB Ethernet and
StoneFly's field-tested clustering technology to offer mirroring at the
hardware level to minimize downtime in all failure scenarios from the
component level, to the system level, and chassis level. With support for
16 disks and capacities ranging from 150GB to 1TB, the HSC-1601 offers
scalability to 16TB in a single chassis.
StoneFly's upgrades to its existing ISC-1601 and ISC-2401 systems include
the addition of Intel's quad core processing power to deliver higher levels
of IP SAN performance; and support for 1TB drives as well as 10K RPM, 150GB
SATA drives (Western Digital's Raptors.)
All HSC and ISC IP SANs are anchored by the StoneFly StoneFusion Operating
System(TM), an IP-based block-level provisioning appliance that centralizes
storage management, control and monitoring of logical storage volumes.
StoneFusion 6.0 provides enhanced VMware and Xen support for fast
integration of networked storage with virtual servers, and also includes
StoneFly Reflection(TM) for local and campus mirroring, asynchronous
replication and StoneFly Snapshot(TM) for fast, efficient data recovery.
With capabilities for external expansion, all HSC and ISC systems also
allow organizations to leverage nearby SAN storage to meet emerging
requirements -- an advantage for mid-to-large-size enterprises with
multiple SANs.
Now available, the ISC-801 is priced starting at US$13,000 for a 4TB
solution that includes all of StoneFusion's advanced functionality. The
HSC-1601 is also now available and is priced starting at US$20,000 for a
2.4TB system with StoneFusion.
