H-class VH630 storage system |

| |
10 GbE Tiered Storage for Superior Virtualization
The VH630 is the industry’s premier storage system for enterprise-wide server and desktop virtualization. With quad 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the VH630 offers 13x more bandwidth than clustered systems, enabling greater VM consolidation with less hardware, less power, fewer cables, and superior VM performance. FlexScale technology enhances consolidation by offering SATA, SAS, and SSD drives, all on one system. Unified iSCSI, NFS, and CIFS support and certification with 10 GbE NICs and switches simplify deployment while giving users the flexibility to choose the optimal storage protocol for their virtualization solution. Unlike clustered systems, the VH630 scales up to 144 TB while reducing energy and cost per TB as capacity is added. 10 GB of cache and a 140 Gbps internal architecture provide the performance needed to maximize your investment in virtualization solutions.

Consolidate 24x more servers and virtual machines
Clustered iSCSI arrays rely on just 2-3 Gbps of bandwidth for all network traffic between servers and storage nodes. The VH630 isolates network and storage traffic on separate 10 Gigabit Ethernet and SAS links for 140 Gbps of total bandwidth to support far more servers and virtual machines.
50x improvement in I/O performance
A large policy-based cache ensures the most critical applications achieve cache hits, eliminating the latency of drive seeks. Solid state drives provide ultrafast capacity for applications like virtual computing 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 70%
Unified iSCSI SAN and NAS with the VH630 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 VH630'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 VH630, cost per TB decreases as the system is expanded since only additional capacity is required, not entirely new systems.
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 VH630 provides unified iSCSI SAN and NAS in one system, eliminating hardware and software costs and retaining centralized management.
Standardize on Ethernet throughout to simplify IT
10 Gigabit Ethernet offers more bandwidth than Fibre Channel while enabling organizations to standardize on familiar Ethernet networking. Server adapters and switches are now affordable, making 10 Gigabit Ethernet the ideal long-term storage infrastructure. |
