In today’s global economy, enterprises face enormous data growth challenges, skyrocketing IT infrastructure costs, tighter government regulations, and increasing public pressure to manage and protect their data. At the same time, CIOs must cope with shrinking IT budgets while improving asset utilization and management of IT resources to better address the growing demands of their clients.
SANRAD uniquely overcomes these difficult challenges with its open, heterogeneous storage networking solutions which ensure business continuity, non-disruptive operations, and significantly lower cost than other offerings in the SAN market:
Cost-Effective Storage Consolidation
SANRAD delivers cost-effective storage consolidation by enabling any storage to be centrally managed as part of a virtual storage pool. SANRAD’s open network architecture is storage agnostic, giving IT managers the flexibility to utilize existing and new storage options to meet the varying cost, performance and reliability requirements of the enterprise.
Optimized Storage Virtualization
SANRAD provides storage virtualization optimized to complement any server virtualization environment. SANRAD’s unique open solution simplifies the task of managing virtual servers, easily integrates any storage system into a virtual storage pool, and delivers non-disruptive storage and disaster recovery services.
Easy iSCSI to Fibre Channel SAN
SANRAD V-Switches with integrated StoragePro software and iSCSI to FC protocol conversion can easily and economically manage FC SAN storage for hundreds of iSCSI-attached servers. Storage for hundreds of iSCSI servers is managed from the edge of the FC SAN instead of the SAN core. This makes it easy to fully utilize excess FC SAN storage capacity and to support a large number of servers and end users.
Non-disruptive Data Protection and Migration
SANRAD provides enterprise-class data protection across any storage systems or servers without the expensive licenses and infrastructure required with other alternatives. Customers can perform easy, live data migration without disrupting IT operations. SANRAD’s unique open architecture enables companies to migrate data from any storage array to any other storage array in real time while keeping business applications running.
Seamless Enterprise-Class Disaster Recovery
SANRAD provides robust, non-disruptive disaster recovery to ensure business continuity across the enterprise. With active/active clustering, automated failover, mirroring, cloning, and synchronous or asynchronous replication across LANs, MANs and WANs, SANRAD offers a comprehensive solution to keep any business running smoothly and cost-effectively.
