Medium and large businesses are faced with rapidly growing data storage capacity requirements of their LAN or Ethernet infrastructures. Storage managers are challenged to find flexible, cost-efficient networked storage solutions for these infrastructures, which avoid investments in expensive, dedicated Fibre Channel SANs. An ideal networked storage scenario for these storage managers would be a infrastructure,
RELDATA Unified Storage Solutions fulfill all of these requirements. The RELDATA Unified Storage Gateway interconnects with and consolidates all popular Fibre Channel, SCSI and iSCSI disk and tape storage resources into one single, virtualized storage volume pool. This pool can be offered to Ethernet clients & servers as block-level iSCSI SAN (IP SAN) targets and file-level NAS (NFS or CIFS) shares. Besides lower capital expenditures for storage, considerable cost savings are achieved through improved capacity utilization, increased application performance and reduced system administration effort. Once consolidated, data storage architecture is complete and scalable, and the business should expect to see lower costs both from a reduction in actual purchasing and from improved efficiency of their storage administration staff.
One typical example where a RELDATA Unified Storage Solution is able to create significant cost savings in enterprises is data storage of Microsoft Exchange applications. Every business and organization heavily depends on email services, leading to a proliferation of email servers, particularly Microsoft Exchange servers, typically supported by internal or direct-attached storage. This, coupled with the government-imposed requirements to maintain email archives online for an extended period of time, has led to high overhead costs, poorly utilized server and storage assets, expensive email storage and archiving costs, complex and time-consuming backup and restore processes, and poor system availability. RELDATA Unified Storage Solutions provide scalable block-level storage on demand, supporting the needs of a growing Exchange database; at the same time, offering shared storage where users can deposit their archived e-mail (.pst files), attachments, etc. , The storage is pooled and managed as a common email storage resource to be used by a number of e-mail servers as well as many local and remote email client applications. To further comply with the new regulations, the email storage should be protected and replicated to a contingency location, which is again an embedded functionality of RELDATA Unified Storage Solutions. RELDATA’s 10GbE 9240 Unified iSCSI Storage Systems provide customers with a clear alternative to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (FC SAN). With the high cost, complexity, scalability and oppressive licensing requirements of conventional FC SAN implementations, the option for 10GbE connectivity will eliminate the pain of rapid storage growth for companies that are constrained by speed limitations of the existing 1GbE-oriented infrastructure. Implement a blazing fast, powerful RELDATA iSCSI SAN today and migrate to a unified storage infrastructure whenever you want. Immediately start replicating data to a remote SAN hundreds of miles away by purchasing a license for WAN replication. Add non-disruptive block data migration services, file data migration services, and more, whenever you want. A simplified view of 10GbE storage is shown in the diagram below.
Investing in a RELDATA storage solution makes it easy to Scale! RELDATA Unified Storage Solutions provide a broad range of data protection features, making remote data protection solutions for disaster recovery practical for almost any organization.
With RELDATA, storage managers and administrators can enjoy the following benefits:
File Level Data Migration involves the copying of files, folders and entire directories from legacy storage NAS shares to a new NAS system. This process has typically been time-consuming and disruptive to the business operation. Now with RELDATA file level data migration solution this painstaking process is simple. A RELDATA 9240 Unified Storage Gateway includes data migration software that assists system administrators with migrating legacy file shares to the virtual volumes residing on the storage devices. A simplified view of the data migration process is shown in the diagram below.
Once the file shares are placed on the virtual volumes created by the RELDATA 9240 Gateway, they are no longer tied to a specific hardware storage device or array. They can be migrated to any downstream storage system (RAID array, JBOD, SAN LUN, IP SAN LUN, etc.) that is connected to the 9240 Gateway without any disruption to the service provided to the users. Additionally, the virtual volumes can be mirrored or replicated. Investing in a RELDATA storage solution makes Data Migration Simple!The process of Data Migration has typically been time-consuming and disruptive to business operations. Now with RELDATA’s non-disruptive block-level migration solution this painstaking process is simple. RELDATA ‘s block level migration solution includes RELDATA 9240 Unified Storage Gateway and data migration software that assists system administrators with the migration of data from one SAN physical LUN to another through the 9240 Gateway. The block data can also be moved between virtual volumes that are managed by the 9240 Gateway or within the 9240 Storage System.
During a non-disruptive block-level migration, the LUN being migrated is available to the application after only a quick reconfiguration, and the data migration occurs in the background. The RELDATA 9240 Gateway has full support for non-disruptive migration of FC SAN LUNs to both IP SAN and FC SAN via 4GB FC, with the host accessing migration LUN on a separate 2GB dual port FC link. Once the LUNs are placed on the virtual volumes created by the RELDATA 9240 Gateway, they are no longer tied to a specific hardware storage device or array. They can be migrated to any downstream storage system (RAID array, JBOD, SAN LUN, IP SAN LUN, etc.) that is connected to the 9240 Gateway without any disruption to the service provided to the users. Additionally, the virtual volumes can be mirrored or replicated.
