Reduce expansion costs by 50% compared to clustered iSCSI arrays
With clustered iSCSI arrays, there are no cost/TB savings as the storage is expanded, leading to excessive capacity costs over time. With the Breeze VH630, cost/TB decreases as the system is expanded since only additional capacity is required, not entirely new systems.
Reduce hardware/software costs by 40% compared to iSCSI-only arrays
Enterprises require both block and file storage, but iSCSI-only systems cannot provide file storage without NAS gateways. The Breeze VH630 provides unified iSCSI SAN and NAS in one system, eliminating hardware and software costs and retaining centralized management.
Consolidate 24x more servers and virtual machines on one system
Clustered iSCSI arrays rely on just 2-3 Gbps of bandwidth for all network traffic between servers and storage nodes. The Breeze VH630 isolates network and storage traffic on separate 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and SAS links for 74 Gbps of total bandwidth to support far more servers and virtual machines.
50x improvement in access times for I/O-intensive applications
Integrated Solid State storage provides fully mirrored, ultrafast capacity for applications like virtual computing, email, and databases. By storing select I/O-intensive data on SSD, users can eliminate I/O bottlenecks and improve application responsiveness.
Cut power/cooling costs by 75% compared to separate SAN and NAS
Unified iSCSI SAN and NAS with the Breeze VH630 means that just one system, not two, can meet both block and file storage needs, cutting power and cooling costs. Low voltage components further reduce the Breeze VH630's power consumption to as little as 19 watts per managed TB.
Standardize on Ethernet throughout to simplify IT management
10 Gigabit Ethernet offers 2.5x more bandwidth than Fibre Channel while enabling organizations to standardize on familiar IP networking. Server adapter and switch port costs have decreased substantially, making 10 Gigabit Ethernet viable even for small businesses investing in a long-term storage infrastructure. |
