All Westek's RAID data storage systems support both NAS and iSCSI.

So whether you want a shared file server based storage system (NAS) using your existing LAN or you want to provision virtual disk space to servers over a dedicated Ethernet network (SAN) these systems are the ideal solution.

Westek iSCSI and NAS Data Storage Systems with ultimate RAID 6 data protection are Ideal for Mission Critical IT Data Storage applications including databases, email data and general file storage of virtually any type since iSCSI uses block level storage technology.

Coupled with snapshot and real time asynchronous / off site data replication option features these iSCSI systems ensure that your data is protected and provide easy recovery from accidental file deletion, virus attacks or even a complete DR situation very easily.

Simple low cost connection to your servers is via multiple Gbit Ethernets, or for very high performance with 10Gbit Ethernet.

With multiple 10Gbit Ethernet interfaces a fully configured Westek R8488Si is capable of exceeding 2.6 GBytes per second sustained Read/Write speed and over 100,000 IOP's per second !

iSCSI and NAS RAID Data Storage Systems

Latest family of high performance iSCSI storage systems with RAID data security and options for snapshot and data replication. With data capacities from 500GBytes to 96TBytes+ per unit, iSCSI allows simple connection of servers in a one to one, one to many, many to one or many to many configuration to iSCSI storage systems using low cost Gigabit Ethernet connections and Ethernet switches. It provides a low cost and simple alternative to conventional and expensive fibre channel SANs. All Westek iSCSI products use enterprise class disk drives with very high MTBF specifically designed for use in 7x24 operation RAID storage systems.

Westek's POWER iSCSI support both NAS and iSCSI functionality and offer serious performance and a range of feature options including asynchronous block level data replication between storage units with seamless fail over and fail back in the unlikely event of a major system failure. This guarantees data security and allows a near real time copy of your valuable data to be maintained on a second system - which may even be remotely located. Our latest technology provides two high availability copies of your

data on site and a DR copy off site - all in real time and with automatic fail over.

With built in support for Storage Virtualisation, multiple units can be used to build a single storage pool offering highly saleable capacity and simple management. Power iSCSI Systems integrate perfectly with Microsofts Solution Centre management suite to provide comprehensive reporting on the SAN system.

POWER iSCSI models all feature industry leading high performance dual 64 bit Quad Core processor engine, latest technology 64 bit RISC based hardware RAID systems with both RAID 5 and RAID 6 data security, ten gigabit Ethernet interfaces and have options for multiple copper or optical 10Gbit Ethernet, as well as integrated time stamped snapshot feature as standard. Feature rich remote management capability is also standard. POWER iSCSI models support Enterprise Class SAS or SATA II disk drives.
