VS7000
The flagship of the VS family, the VS7000 storage
system combines high-performance 4Gb Fibre Channel storage networking with
increased host connectivity to deliver industry-leading bandwidth. The VS7000
storage system makes it an outstanding foundation for High Performance Cluster
Computing when combined with Verari Systems solutions for Global File Systems.
The VS7000 storage system from Verari Systems supports
the high bandwidth and I/O requirements of demanding enterprise computing and rich media
networks, and provides cost-effective and reliable access to large volumes
of data. The powerful storage controllers combined with an auto-negotiating
4Gb Fibre Channel architecture enable a heterogeneous environment comprised
of clustered and/or standalone servers to access data centrally stored
in a VS7000 in an easy, cost effective and reliable manner.
The VS7000 RAID storage system was designed specifically to provide
optimal block level and file system performance for highly scalable,
open system computing environments, and delivers unsurpassed performance
of up to 1600MB per second bandwidth through eight 4Gb channels to the
SAN or host servers.
The VS7000 is optimized for High Performance Computing and Rich Media
applications. Specifically designed for bandwidth intensive computing
environments, the VS7000 breakthrough architecture delivers up to 1.6Gb
per second of sustained throughput, with exceptional scalability, reliability
and management capabilities. Utilizing the VS7000s 4Gb networking capability
and eight host channels, the media and entertainment markets can utilize
multiple, simultaneous HD streams of over 320MB per second from a single
VS7000 storage system.
The VS7000 reduces cost of ownership and complexity. By utilizing the
VS7000 4Gb Fibre Channel networking, applications that traditionally
required multiplexed 2Gb Fibre Channel connectivity to deliver a specific
level of application bandwidth will now require half as much infrastructure
to deliver the same level of bandwidth. Fibre Channel SANs based on
the VS7000 utilize simpler fabric designs and exhibit higher overall
availability due to the reduced number of parts, thereby reducing the
initial acquisition costs as well as the total cost of ownership. Extensive
4Gb, 2Gb and 1Gb Fibre Channel compatibility results in minimal or no
impact on existing storage network, protecting your infrastructure investment.
The VS7000 delivers exceptional I/O per-second performance ideally suited
for large-scale shared file system implementations and transaction-based
applications. It is designed for simultaneous, mixed use of Fibre Channel
and SATA drives, and offers comprehensive storage management.
