| Harvey Mudd Future Proof’s Storage with Reldata RELDATA announces that Harvey Mudd College (HMC), one of the premier math, science and engineering institutions in the United States, has chosen RELDATA 9240 Unified Storage Systems to satisfy the comprehensive storage needs of the school's versatile IT infrastructure. The RELDATA 9240 Unified Storage Systems at HMC include 9240 controllers in an active-active failover configuration, RELvos 2.1 virtualization software for enterprise-class unified storage services, 10GbE network connectivity, and RELDATA SAS disk. RELvos delivers enterprise-class iSCSI SAN, NAS (CIFS/NFS), and a comprehensive set of backup and replication features from a single platform. The college was also attracted to the openness of the system. Even as part of a complete solution, the RELDATA systems offer open back-end connectivity to third party disks. This provides complete freedom from vendor lock-in for future capacity upgrades, as well as the opportunity to redeploy existing storage investments as part of a new system. HMC has capitalized on the openness and versatility of the RELDATA solution, even using the system to test storage arrays built by the students as a part of their studies. RELDATA's open storage connectivity allows HMC to connect to a variety of third-party arrays and to use inexpensive JBODs in conjunction with the 9240's built-in software RAID functionality. All storage is virtualized into a single pool from which administrators can carve out and resize virtual storage volumes or LUNs as required to meet user application requirements. With blisteringly fast 10Gb Ethernet connectivity, the 9240 system delivers storage exactly as it is needed to all applications and users across the organization. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
