RELDATA’s 9240i is a feature-rich, software-centric unified storage system for virtualized cloud computing environments in mid-market organizations. The 9240i is powered by the RELvos 2.4 virtualization software, consolidates SAN and NAS on a single, easy-to-use x86-based platform.

The RELDATA 9240i/RELvos unified storage solution delivers integrated iSCSI SAN, NAS and WAN replication functions on a single virtualized platform for best-in-class performance. The system delivers enterprise-class functionality, yet is easy to implement, operate and manage. Customers can independently scale disk storage capacity, SAN/NAS/WAN replication storage services, and network performance without application disruption. This “pay-as-you-grow” design eliminates the need for forklift upgrades — and the downtime they cause — and liberates customers from vendor lock-in and the associated predatory pricing for additional disk capacity.

The 9240i includes an industry standard high performance storage controller, RELvos virtualization operating system and integrated Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disk storage. Capacity can be expanded by adding RELDATA disk arrays or pooling existing resources. The 9240i is available for 1 GbE and/or 10 GbE infrastructures. With the 9240i, IT managers are able to set up iSCSI SANs that can scale to multiple petabytes of capacity and support hundreds of servers with performance rivaling FC SANs, giving them plenty of headroom for future storage growth.

RELvos 2.4 Virtualization Operating System

RELvos 2.4 is block-level virtualization software that consolidates both application-based (SAN) and file-based (NAS) storage, while virtualizing industry-standard SAS, Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage resources. RELvos 2.4 allows organizations to see, virtualize and protect application data within multi-vendor and multi-site environments from a single management interface.

Using RELvos’ modular architecture, customers can:

  • Rapidly architect multiple, scalable shared storage pools for on-demand, IP SAN, NAS and multi-vendor platforms

  • Seamlessly expand storage capacity

  • Consolidate underused storage assets

RELvos’ 64-bit performance and throughput rivals that of more expensive Fibre Channel SANs at a lower total cost of ownership. And for complete data protection, an embedded firmware module features SAN-level synchronous remote mirroring, incremental volume replication, and unlimited snapshots, as well as file-based replication.

The Next Generation of iSCSI Storage Systems

For the same initial cost from other iSCSI SAN vendors, RELDATA delivers higher application availability, more functionality, no vendor lock-in for disk storage, more useable disk capacity, more raw performance and lower on-going cost of ownership. A RELDATA storage system is easy to install and set up, supports a broad array of operating systems, applications, and industries.

9240i Unified Storage System

The demand for storage capacity continues to surge fueled by the growth of the Internet and a rising demand for online access to data. The ability to move and access data has become a mission-critical capability for every enterprise, and there is great pressure both to improve data management and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO).

RELDATA is responding with its 9240i Unified Storage System that adds three significant capabilities to enterprise network architectures. First, companies are able to architect shared storage pools for on-demand enterprise-wide IP SAN and NAS that can scale seamlessly. Second, they are able to greatly reduce backup and data migration times by leveraging non-disruptive, incremental remote data replication. Third, they enjoy far greater manageability of data because they will have leading edge storage automation control and management of their databases from a single central point. The combination of these three things−scalability, much faster backup and data migration, and easy manageability−inevitably reduces the TCO of data storage in medium-sized and large organizations.

Enterprise-Class iSCSI SAN, NAS and WAN Replication Services On-Demand

RELDATA’s 9240i Unified Storage System delivers integrated iSCSI SAN, NAS and WAN replication functions on a single virtualized platform that delivers best-in-class performance. The system is easy to implement, operate, and manage, yet delivers enterprise-class functionality. Customers can independently scale disk storage capacity, SAN/NAS/WAN replication storage services, and network performance without application disruption. This "pay-as-you-grow" design eliminates the need for forklift box upgrades – and the downtime it causes – and liberates customers from vendor lock-in and the associated predatory pricing for additional disk capacity.

The 9240i represents a purpose-built high performance storage controller, RELvos™ Virtualization Operating System and integrated Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disk storage. Storage can be expanded by adding RELDATA disk arrays. The 9240i is available for 1 GbE and/or 10 GbE infrastructures. With the 9240i, IT managers are able to set up iSCSI SANs that can scale to multiple Petabytes of capacity to support hundreds of servers with performance rivaling FC SANs, giving them plenty of headroom for future storage growth.

Realizing Information-Centric Storage Infrastructures

RELDATA’s vision is an information-centric model of computing that makes information always available; completely shareable by heterogeneous computers from a single data image, anywhere in the world, at any time, with consistent fast access; complete protection from loss; and highly secure, easy, cost-effective centralized management. RELDATA’s 9240i Unified Storage System is converging NAS and SAN architectures on block-data level, overcoming the typical limitations of separated architectures. SANs are able to operate over long distances and allow heterogeneous information sharing, and NAS provides high storage utilization and an easy centralized management – all together protected by unified disaster recovery services.
