Today's enterprise and data center applications require a wide range of storage performance and capacity to meet business requirements. Pantera tiered storage solution enable consolidation and deployment of different grades of storage within a single filer system. Customers have a choice of deploying high performance fibre channel storage, SAS storage and dense high capacity SATA storage with Pantera filers to match storage to their application needs.

ME500:

Enterprise customers have critical requirements - reliability, availability, performance at the lowest total cost of ownership. Pantera E500 storage subsystem implements the most advanced end-to-end 4Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) technology for enterprise-class RAID storage to maximize performance, scalability and availability. Dual-active E500 controllers and up to 16 disk drives are integrated within a new RoHS-compliant, 3U, rack-mountable controller enclosure. Each E500 controller has two 4Gb/s FC host ports for direct host or fabric SAN attachment, two 4Gb/s FC drive ports for capacity expansion, and supports 2GB of battery-backed, mirrored cache. Up to 6 additional expansion drive modules are easily attached to the controller for a total capacity of 112 drives.

The E500 design delivers data-intact drive portability - supporting drive-level reconfigurations and controller-level upgrades as system requirements change. Drives can be relocated within the storage subsystem to improve channel utilization/protection, or even migrated as a complete volume group into another E500 storage subsystem.

The E500 storage subsystem provides robust storage management software allowing storage administrators to achieve maximum utilization of the purchased capacity through extensive configuration flexibility and custom performance tuning. The management software allows continuous access to user data during administrative tasks, including configuration, reconfiguration, expansion and maintenance of the system.

M200:

Whether you are an enterprise buyer with departmental and remote office requirements, or a mid-size business looking to move out of DAS implementations, Pantera M200 storage subsystem delivers an efficient, reliable and self-administrable consolidated storage solution.

The M200 storage system brings together 4Gb/s FC host connectivity, SAS drive-side technology and intuitive storage management software to create a robust RAID storage solution. With four auto-negotiating 4Gb/s FC host ports per system, the M200 supports direct attachment of multiple hosts or connectivity to a storage area network. This makes it a great system for environments that want to initially deploy the M200 for the standalone fully integrated ONStor Pantera NAS system, and then seamlessly transition to a SAN fronted by ONStor NAS Gateways delivering file services. Additionally, the M200 is a great fit for existing ONStor NAS gateways as it can easily integrate into 1, 2 and 4Gb/s infrastructures and provide robust and reliable storage at an affordable price.

By utilizing two active/active RAID controllers with mirrored cache, redundant components and automated I/O path failover, the M200 system is well suited for two-node clusters where continuous application and data availability are key requirements.

V100:

Storage intensive applications are driving explosion in digital content which in turn is placing significant demands on the existing IT storage infrastructures to cost effectively cope with such overload. Storage managers seeking to successfully manage these environments require dense, power efficient storage solutions that deliver ultra low-cost without compromising the performance of storage across the enterprise.

The Pantera storage subsystem - model V100, integral to and available as part of the ONStor Pantera clustered NAS Filers, has been engineered to be industry's most complete and cost effective high capacity storage system. The model V100 is high density, energy efficient storage solution delivering 42 drives and dual RAID controllers in only 4U of rack space. The model V100's dual controllers use the award winning Performance SATA™ design to provide blistering throughput performance with 42 spindles that can be segmented into multiple RAID sets or a single large storage pool. All the individual components are fully redundant and hot swappable while the full cache coherency design to ensure data integrity even with power loss.

For customers looking to deploy energy efficient, deep dense storage for their nearline and archive data, model V100 storage subsystem with its 4U-42 form factor and low power consumption offers the best in class value and cost of ownership of any enterprise storage subsystem.
