New Storage Solution From Infortrend Offers 6Gb/s SAS Drive Connectivity
New ESVA Model Doubles Data Transfer Rate and Supports SSDs to Increase Productivity of Business-Critical Applications
San Jose, CA --(Marketwire) - Infortrend® (TPE: 2495), the networked storage expert, today announced the expansion of its ESVA (Enterprise Scalable Virtualized Architecture) Fibre Channel (FC) Series with a new F60 8Gb/s FC to 6Gb/s SAS model. In addition to 6Gb/s SAS drive connectivity, the new storage system also supports solid state disks (SSDs). This brand new feature allows IT administrators to boost IOPS performance while reducing energy consumption and enhancing reliability. By mixing SSD, SAS and SATA drives in the installation, users can achieve ideal service levels for diverse applications in the most effective way.
The Infortrend ESVA FC Series of RAID storage systems is a midrange storage solution designed to support FC SANs. With models supporting drives with different form factors, speeds and capacity, users can meet diverse application requirements of performance, capacity, space, and cost. The ESVA FC SAN storage can help enterprises optimize return on investment, simplify storage infrastructure and maximize application productivity.
With vendors no longer shipping 3Gb/s SAS drives, 6Gb/s SAS drives are quickly becoming the new standard, and the new Infortrend ESVA F60 model offers users better transfer rates, more accurate troubleshooting and faster system initialization and change detection.
According to James Hsieh, vice president of global marketing at Infortrend, "With built-in intelligence and agility, Infortrend's ESVA family enhances IT efficiency and helps enterprises prepare for business growth with minimal upfront investments. Through the integration of two of the latest technologies, 6Gb/s SAS and SSDs, our ESVA solutions have become an even more powerful facilitator of IT efficiency."
