Management, and Protection
The Snap Server 18000 redefines costeffective enterprise storage with its highpowered performance, unified block and file
storage architecture, centralized storage
management, comprehensive data
protection suite, advanced data availability,
and instant, best-in-class, scalability. Ideal
for primary and secondary storage with a
wide range of applications, the 18000
simplifies the management of data
distributed throughout the enterprise.
Unmatched Price/Performance
Advanced performance features, including
dual Intel Xeon processors with Symmetric
Multi-Processing (SMP) capabilities, Serial
ATA (SATA) disk drives, 2GB of Double Data
Rate (DDR) system memory and 512MB of
battery-backed cache make the 18000 the
fastest Snap Server ever. Combine this level
of performance with an unbelievable price
and it's easy to see that the 18000 delivers
unbeatable value in its class.
Best-in-Class Scalability
Add SANbloc S50 JBOD expansion arrays
to meet growing storage needs, up to a
total capacity of 44TB. The unique Instant
Capacity Expansion (I.C.E.) feature for ondemand scalability and provisioning allows
for easily increasing storage space without
the risk involved with time-consuming RAID
reconfiguration.
Advanced Data Availability
RAID 5, hot-swappable SATA disk drives,
redundant power and cooling, dual-Gigabit
Ethernet ports, battery-backed nonvolatile
memory (NVRAM), and UPS support
maximize system and data availability.
Optional replication software delivers
advanced, asynchronous byte-level data
replication ideal for nearline backup or
offsite disaster recovery.
The feature-rich 18000 is also an ideal
solution for common storage challenges.
Application Server Storage
The Snap Server 18000 supports the
Microsoft iSCSI initiator, making it ideal for
storing Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server
data. The 18000 also supports iSCSI
initiators for Solaris and Linux and can
easily be used for cost effective capacity
expansion of existing servers. iSCSI
removes the distance limitations associated
with direct-attached storage (DAS) and
leverages industry-standard Ethernet to
eliminate the cost and complexity
associated with Fibre Channel storage area
networks (SANs).
Storage Consolidation
Consolidating storage allows enterprises to
significantly increase return on investment
(ROI) and reduce the total cost of ownership
(TCO). By integrating iSCSI to offer
simultaneous block and file storage on a
single device, the Snap Server 18000
eliminates the need for disparate storage
pools, simplifies data management,
consolidates storage resources, and
maximizes storage dollars.
Accelerated Backup
Reduce backup and restore times by
backing up directly to the Snap Server
18000 and then archiving to tape. The
native snapshot technology embedded in
the GuardianOS provides consistent, pointin-time incremental backups that can be
stored online to further reduce tape costs.
Integrated BakBone NetVault software,
backup agent support for VERITAS, CA, and
Legato, and Network Data Management
Protocol (NDMP) support provide the
ultimate backup flexibility.
