Leading Flash/Hybrid Storage Systems Offer Enterprise-Class Availability, Performance & Scalability for Virtual Data Centers, Clouds, HPC, and Media & Entertainment Environments
Taipei, Taiwan, October 2, 2017. AC&NC, a provider of leading All Flash/ Hybrid Flash storage solutions, today introduced to American markets the JetStor X RAID platforms based on best-of-breed technology from QSAN Technology. Highly successful in Asia and elsewhere, these next-generation Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN and NAS systems merge extremely competitive performance, 99.999% availability, and multi-petabyte scalability.
JetStor X systems are engineered for mission-critical applications like OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing), virtualized data centers, clouds, data warehouses, HPC (High Performance Computing), and high-volume e-mail, web, and file servers. They can sustain throughput of 12,000MB/s sequential reads and 8,000MB/s sequential writes and over 1.5 million sequential IOPS. Able to support heavy IO (in/out) workloads with low latency, they are also ideal for media and entertainment applications or video surveillance.
“AC&NC is pleased to offer QSAN’s storage solutions to U.S. customers under the JetStor X brand,” said Gene Leyzarovich, president of AC&NC. “QSAN products have been awarded the highest accolades from industry reviewers. For enterprises in all verticals that question how they’ll support data-intensive applications, JetStor X platforms are the answer.”
A Versatile Roster and Functionality for Every Application
The lineup of JetStor X solutions features 2U, 3U, and 4U high-density, highly-scalable chassis. When coupled with JBODs, the 2U JetStor 826iXD platform, for example, scales up to 2.6 petabytes of capacity. They support both SSDs and HDDs, allowing customers to choose between searing flash performance or cost-effective storage, and everything in between.
“AC&NC’s large customer base will be pleased with the quality and capabilities of JetStor X storage systems,” said Steven Lin, Sales Director for QSAN Technologies. “JetStor is a proven brand for outstanding storage solutions and AC&NC is renowned for its service and support.”
JetStor X platforms support the range of RAID levels to maximize performance and data protection. They have no single point of failure and feature dual-active controllers and redundant, hot pluggable components.
Moreover, JetStor X RAID solutions offer advanced functionalities for added value and efficiencies. QCache is a secondary cache that positions SSD drives between the RAID controller and hard-disk drives, greatly accelerating reads and writes while leveraging the economy of the mechanical drives.
The QThin thin-provisioning storage pool architecture enables each JetStor X platform to support more host servers with a fewer number of hard drives, thereby reducing acquisition costs.
QTiering auto-tiering dynamically places hot data on SSDs or faster hard drives and cold data on lower-cost drives, ensuring storage is both fast and cost-effective.QSnap snapshots, based on block-based, copy-on-write technology, allows a volume to be quickly recovered to meet even stringent RPO (Recovery Point Objectives) and RTO (Recovery Time Objectives).
For added data protection, QClone duplicates a volume in the same storage pool as well as in a separate storage pool within the same enclosure. Subsequent clones are differential copies created using QSnap functionality.
QReplica 2.0 offers block-level, asynchronous, differential, remote-volume backup across the LAN or WAN. With capabilities like unlimited bandwidth, traffic shaping, and multiple connections per replication task, it is the most cost-effective and efficient way to perform remote data backups. Additionally, the JetStor X series can support multiple topologies to suit various disaster recovery configurations.
