Storage Concentrators™ combine
the functionality of an iSCSI-based storage router,
bridge and an extensible logical volume manager to
provide an all-in-one storage provisioning appliance
that significantly reduces the cost and complexity of
managing storage assets. By using the emerging iSCSI
standard, TCP/IP and Gigabit Ethernet, the i1000 and
i1500 add intelligent block-level logical volume
management to existing IP networks to pool existing
and new storage assets, providing more efficient
utilization, streamlined management, rapid deployment
and reconfiguration of storage, and reduced SAN-based
backup and restore times.
Storage Concentrators enable companies to achieve
maximum return on their investments in storage assets
by alleviating the cost and complexity associated with
existing networked storage solutions. StoneFly's new
IP-based storage provisioning appliances provide users
with a simple, affordable architecture to manage
centralized pools of storage for more efficient use of
storage assets. By consolidating SAN block data using
a common IP Storage network infrastructure, StoneFly
is ensuring interoperability and scalability, while
substantially reducing total cost of ownership.
Storage Concentrators are simple-to-use and can often
be installed in less than 15 minutes.
Storage Concentrators can be fully configured into
simple, affordable SANs for the following
applications:
