H-class RH100 storage system |
|
|
| |
SAN + NAS Tiered Storage for the Long-term
The RH100 brings the powerful tiered storage features, unified iSCSI, NFS, and CIFS support, and advanced data protection software of Nimbus H-class storage systems within reach for any size enterprise. The RH100 provides all of the same great features of the H-class series using quad Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, upgradeable to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Scalable to 60 drives using any blend of SATA, SAS, and SSD drives, the RH100 offers the full benefits of Nimbus’ FlexScale technology. The all-inclusive HALO storage operating system provides enterprise-class data protection including snapshots, volume clones, synchronous mirroring, and asynchronous replication with the simplicity of an appliance. With a clear upgrade path to 10 GbE and common hardware and software across all Nimbus models, the RH100 is a wise long-term investment for organizations looking for affordable unified storage.

Unified iSCSI SAN and NAS for Simple IT Operations
The RH100 offers unified iSCSI SAN and NAS (NFS and CIFS) protocol support, seamlessly presented on one system with one intuitive interface. iSCSI-only alternatives force you to purchase isolated NAS gateways that increase cost and complexity. With the RH100, enterprises can centralize more data on one system, increasing efficiency and eliminating unnecessary storage hardware and software purchases.
All-inclusive Easy-to-use Software and Quick Setup
Powered by Nimbus’ comprehensive HALO storage operating system, the RH100 provides robust data protection and capacity provisioning with the simplicity of Web-based management. Integrated features include point-in-time snapshots, synchronous mirroring, asynchronous and continuous remote replication, volume cloning, and automatic storage health monitoring, without the cost and headaches of incremental license fees. Advanced reporting tools provide email and SNMP notification, real-time gauges and historical charts of key metrics, and self-healing capabilities.
Advanced Architecture for Optimal Storage Scalability
The FlexScale architecture isolates server-to-storage traffic from the LAN onto a low-latency SAS interconnect, eliminating oversubscription and bottlenecks common in other Gigabit-based iSCSI arrays and enabling applications to run at their peak. The two SAS links support up to four SM120 expansion modules for growth up to 60 TB. Policy-based caching with 4 GB of dedicated cache accelerate storage response time and maximize cache hits for the most performance-critical applications. With easy 10 GbE upgradeability, the RH100 is a wise long-term investment ready for next-generation networking when you are.
SATA, SAS, and SSD Drives for Unmatched Tiered Storage
The RH100 can be expanded with any blend of SATA, SAS, and SSD drives, even within the same enclosure, to efficiently optimize storage based on speed, density, power, and cost. Built-in storage virtualization with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and JBOD support allows IT administrators to create flexible pools, assigning mission-critical applications to premium SAS or SSD storage and nearline and archival storage requirements to high-density, low-power SATA tiers.
FlexScale Architecture for Cost-correct Expansion
The RH100, with FlexScale technology, makes storage expansion affordable. Unlike clustered iSCSI arrays, which require purchasing completely new systems just to add capacity, the RH100 scales using fully-redundant storage expansion modules (SEMs) that leverage the system's impressive bandwidth and processing power. This reduces cost per TB as more storage is added while increasing performance with more spindles or solid state drives.
Green Technology and Full Fault-tolerance Features
The RH100 meets new green computing standards by consuming up to 70% less power – as low as 19 watts per TB of data managed – than separate SAN and NAS devices or clustered storage arrays. With 80% fewer components and 30% lower operating temperature than traditional arrays, the RH100 generates less heat and vibration, reducing energy costs and improving drive reliability. Redundant power supplies, fans, GbE controllers, and software boot images are standard. |
