iSCSI is Simple and Low Cost
iSCSI SANs offer a lower cost alternative for organizations that want to consolidate multiple servers to achieve better storage utilization. iSCSI is also inherently less complicated since it does not require specialized host adapters, switches and cables. Business can now use their existing Ethernet infrastructure to implement an IP SAN. With iQ2850, users can transport block data over TCP/IP to and from servers that are dispersed throughout the network and located at a long distance from the storage system.

iQ2850 successfully combines the benefits of Ethernet networks with those of networked storage. With the iQ2850, companies can realize all the benefits of a SAN at an affordable price, together with integrated data protection features such as volume manager-based storage virtualization, snapshot, mirroring, remote replication, policy based storage provisioning, capacity expansion, SAN management and remote support.

iQ2850 Offers:

• A familiar network technology that reduces training, management andoperations cost
  
  
• Proven Ethernet transport infrastructure which increases reliability
  
  
• Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) by bringing Ethernet economics to storage

Modular Configurations
iQstor’s iQ2850 supports up to fifteen disk drives and scales to 6TB with 400GB FC4 drives or 15TB with 1TB SATA drives, allowing the creation of very large tiered-storage IP SAN systems as needs arise. With fully redundant and hot swappable components such as RAID controllers, power supplies, cooling modules and disk drives the iQ2850 ensures reliability and high availability.
