SAN-in-a-CAN
RMSI developed SAN-in-a-CAN to be a fully-integrated,
cost-effective hardware subsystem that includes RAID controller(s),
storage management software, and Fibre Channel fabric switch into
a single 5U rack-mount enclosure. SAN-in-a-CAN is the closest thing
yet to a "plug-and-play" SAN solution; the user selects
the drives and the hosts (servers), connects the hosts and drives,
and goes.
Previous SAN implementations meant on-site integration
of multiple devices and software management modules, with incompatibilities
more common than not. SAN-in-a-CAN integrates these functionalities
into a single rack-mount chassis:
Storage Controller
· Higher operational reliability
· Less rack space
· Connect/manage up to 10 TB of disk storage
Fibre Channel Fabric Switch
· High reliability - over 600,000 hours MBTF
· 12 Fibre Channel ports available
Storage Management Software
· Single point of management, including GUI
· Multiple OS support
· Flexible allocation of storage space to servers
RMSI's fundamental concept behind SAN-in-a-CAN
is to provide customers with a powerful, reliable solution with
a scalable, modular architecture that can start out small and grow
as their server and data storage requirements grow.
SAN-in-a-CAN offers a fully-integrated storage
management solution for creating, managing and controlling storage
area networks.
SAN-in-a-CAN easily integrates with existing
departmental or enterprise networks. Customers designate which servers
will connect to the SAN fabric, install Host Bus Adapter(s) in each
selected server, and add a device driver. No other modifications
to the network are required and no additional software runs on servers
to take up valuable I/O cycles or processor power.
