iSCSI 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 250GBytes to 50TBytes+ 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.

Westeks POWER iSCSI storage models 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.

Westeks Rxx1i series iSCSI models provide an excellent cost effective alternative to DAS or Fibre Channel SAN based storage where straight forward storage capacity needs to be allocated to one or more servers. These iSCSI models use multi-core processors and have a powerful dedicated hardware RAID engine built in, supporting RAID 5 and 6 with up to 24 hot swap enterprise class disks in the 5U model. These systems are ideal for general data storage applications, virtual tape libraries and disk to disk backup. All capacities quoted are examples using 500GB, 750GB or 1TB disk drives.
