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.

Smart long-term investment
A SAN is not something you want to buy every 12 months. The 10 GbE-ready RH100 is a wise long-term investment ready to adapt to your changing needs, without a costly and disruptive forklift upgrade later.
Reduce hardware/software costs by 50%
Enterprises require both block and file storage, but iSCSI-only systems cannot provide file storage without NAS gateways. The RH100 provides unified iSCSI SAN and NAS in one system, eliminating hardware and software costs and retaining centralized management.
Cut power/cooling costs by 70%
Unified iSCSI SAN and NAS with the RH100 means that just one system, not two, can meet both block and file storage needs, cutting power and cooling costs. 80% fewer components further reduce the RH100's power consumption to as little as 19 watts per managed TB.
Reduce expansion costs by 40%
With clustered iSCSI arrays, there are no cost per TB savings as the storage is expanded, leading to excessive capacity costs over time. With the RH100, cost per TB decreases as the system is expanded since only additional capacity is required, not entirely new systems.
50x improvement in I/O performance
A policy-based cache ensures the most critical applications achieve cache hits, eliminating the latency of drive seeks. By storing select I/O-intensive data on SSD, users can eliminate I/O bottlenecks and improve application responsiveness. |
