LX6 Software Options and Benefits |
Storage Data Consolidation: |
|
- Unified Storage iSCSI (IP/SAN) and NAS
|
iSCSI (IP/SAN) volumes for application servers and NAS File-system based volumes supports heterogeneous clients such as Linux/Unix, Microsoft, Apple, Web, FTP, all accessible from same system. |
- Single point of management
|
Offers web based GUI to manage storage volumes for both Integrated and Modular Storage Types. Modular Storage Head supports external storage expansion via iSCSI, FC and SCSI. |
- Heterogeneous storage consolidation and Maximized capacity utilization
|
Consolidates SAS, SCSI, FC, SATA and iSCSI volumes in any combination of network accessible NFS, CFS, AFP and iSCSI IP/SAN Block Device. |
|
Allows capacity scale up via external volumes using external storage array, supports Fibre, SAS, SCSI and iSCSI. |
- Storage Capacity Aggregation
|
Network volumes spread out in multiple locations can be aggregated into a single, large volume via Linear RAID implementation. |
| |
Support up to 16TB per Logical Volume. |
Storage Data High-Availability: |
Continuous access to data during head or system level failure. |
- SFM: Server to Server Failure & Mirroring. High Availability for Storage Heads Server and Storage Pool
|
It pairs two storage server units to provide continuous service during System, Power, NIC, Storage Volume, OS and Network Path Failure. SFM mirrors data on to 2nd storage pool in real-time and gives instant access to data upon primary server storage pool failure. |
- Hardware RAID for Internal Disks
|
Storage volume is protected by various types of hardware RAID and hot spare support. |
|
Software RAID 0, 0+1, and 1 (Synchronized Mirroring) over multiple storage volumes (internal or external storage arrays), on top of already hardware RAID protected volumes. It allows extra data redundancy and high-availability, or high storage performance enhancement. |
- High-Availability for Network Link, Network Path Fail-Over/Redundancy
|
Severn modes of NIC port bonding offers bandwidth aggregation and continuous access during NIC port or network path failure. |
|
Appliance OS is stored on to Flash Disk. |
Storage Data Recovery: |
Continuous access to business data in the event the primary data is inaccessible. |
- Data Replication
- Data asynchronous mirroring at local site
- Data asynchronous replication at local site
- Data asynchronous replication at remote site
|
Support Folder-Replication function
- Replication via LAN and WAN connectivity between source and target storage pool.
- Replication can be configured to be Full-Replication or Differential-Replication.
- Replication can be scheduled based, or Replication on demand.
- Replication supports compression, throttling, revision control.
|
- Schedule based Snapshot Volume
|
Protects data loss due to accidental deletion and/or file corruption due to virus-attack. Multiple schedules are supported to provide over-lapping coverage in data recoverability. |
| |
Software RAID 0, 0+1, and 1 (Synchronized Mirroring) over multiple storage volumes, on top of already hardware RAID protected volumes. It allows extra data redundancy and high-availability, or high storage performance enhancement. |
Storage Data Backup: |
|
- Supports Linux based Backup Agents
|
Linux agents for many backup software (Veritas, Legato, BRU, Amanda, Areka) can be installed to the OS partition, allowing LX6 to seamlessly managed by Backup server as a target or source unit. |
- System and storage volume configuration backup & restore
|
System Configuration and Volume Configuration can be saved and be used for recovery after a complete system failure. |
- Data replication to local or remote site
|
Schedule based data replication (Folder Replication) supports LAN and WAN connectivity between source and target storage pool. Folder Replication supports compression, throttling, revision control, and change only backup. Schedule based Snapshot volume protects data loss due to accidental deletion. Multiple schedules are supported to provide over-lapping coverage in data recoverability. |
Performance Optimization & Reliability: |
|
| |
Highly tuned, embedded Linux OS powers IPDATA-LX6 , enabling it to outperform competition with much superior hardware configuration. |
| |
Multiple NIC port aggregation and port bonding. Total 7 modes to help optimize network performance and availability. |
| |
Supports up to 8 CPU’s per storage unit for serving very large number of clients and data processing. |
- RAID on RAID for enhanced disk I/O
|
Software RAID 0, 0+1, and 1 over multiple storage volumes to added high-availability or performance enhancement. |
Security & Storage-Space allocation: |
|
- ACL for Local, Microsoft, and NFS
|
Highly granular ACL for local users/groups, Microsoft clients (ADS/PDC), and NFS clients (NIS). |
|
User and Group based quota can be assigned for local, Microsoft, Linux/UNIX, and Apple clients. |
|
LDAP and IP Sec support for enhanced security and manageability. |
