- New Family of iSCSI and Fibre Channel Solutions Includes Enhanced Data
Protection Software Features with Simplified Pricing and Ordering for VARs
Dot Hill Systems Corp. (Nasdaq: HILL), a world-class provider of
entry-level and midrange storage solutions, today introduced the
AssuredSAN(TM) family of disk-to-disk data protection products which combines
Dot Hill's robust storage capability with enhanced data protection software
features that address many of today's disaster recovery, business continuance
and regulatory compliance needs. The new storage area network (SAN)-based
solutions include as standard the company's AssuredSnap(TM) and
AssuredCopy(TM) disaster recovery software, creating self contained backup
and recovery appliances for today's mission-critical applications that are
fully independent of application or server operating system environments.
Dot Hill AssuredSAN products are offered in high-availability, dual
controller 2U, 12-drive (SATA or SAS) configurations, supporting 4Gbps Fibre
Channel or 1Gbps iSCSI host connection options, with expansion capability of
up to 96 disk drives using Dot Hill's 2130 JBOD arrays, yielding a total
capacity of up to 192TB when fully populated.
Managed via Dot Hill's wizard-driven RAIDar(TM) 2.0 web interface,
AssuredSAN products are capable of supporting up to 256 point-in-time
snapshots that can virtually eliminate backup windows, and function
transparently and apart from the host computer or server. The built-in,
"set-and-forget" automatic scheduler makes it easy for storage administrators
to safeguard critical systems by establishing hourly, daily or weekly
snapshots of data volumes. Users can easily recover lost data that has been
corrupted or accidentally deleted by effectively winding the clock back to an
earlier copy of their data using the built-in web based management tools.
The AssuredSAN family supports high performance and high capacity
requirements with the following models:
-- AssuredSAN 2332ST, an iSCSI SAN system with SATA drives
-- AssuredSAN 2732SA, a Fibre Channel SAN system with SAS drives
-- AssuredSAN 2732ST, a Fibre Channel SAN system with SATA drives
The AssuredSAN family offers simplified pricing based on a single part
number, making it significantly easier for resellers to configure and support
the products, eliminating any further licensing steps or fees.
