V-Switch XL Series

SANRAD V-Switch XL Series
Virtualize and Accelerate Your SAN

The V-Switch XL Series is SANRAD's series of network based SAN acceleration appliances.  Utilizing appliance embedded FLASH as a high performance cache, the V-Switch XL appliances deliver an immediate performance increase to SANs.  The V-Switch XL series can further serve as a connectivity bridge enabling the connection of 10GbE servers to an FC SAN by upgrading 2/4/8Gb FC SANs to 10GbE.

The V-Switch XL appliances work either in transparent acceleration mode (accelerating existing SAN volumes and VMware datastores) or in virtualize & accelerate mode (creating new accelerated virtual volumes using the SAN as a storage pool). Users deploy the V-Switch XL appliances to deliver significant acceleration of storage response time, deliver high IOPS for demanding applications, and maximize utilization of 10GbE networks.


 

Accelerate I/O Intensive Applications such as Exchange, MS SQL, VDI, Web 2.0

  • Flash accelerated performance for storage access in virtualized environments.
  • Transparent acceleration of HDD arrays: accelerate your existing SAN volumes.
  • Virtualization and acceleration of HDD array: create accelerated virtual volumes using the existing SAN as a storage pool.

Tight Integration with Server Virtualization

  • End-to-end integration with vCenter allows selection of specific virtual machines and auto-detection of the datastores to be accelerated
  • Continued acceleration of virtual machines even during vMotion or storage migration
Active/Active Clustering for High Availability
  • Active/active clustering with automatic iSCSI target transfers
  • Integrates with server virtualization high availability to provide no-single-point-of-failure connectivity with autonomous recovery.
"Snap-In" Deployment
  • Bridge between high speed 10-GE servers and legacy FC systems
  • Auto discovery of backend connected FC or iSCSI SAN arrays
  • Simple one screen selection of volumes to accelerate
  • Accelerates selected volumes without affecting non accelerated volumes in the SAN

Low Startup Cost with Field Upgradeable “Pay as you Grow” Modules

  • Unique front loading PCI-based FLASH modules.
  • Unique front-panel networking modules
  • Field upgradeable for gradual increase of FLASH capacity & performance
