Unlimited storage capacity
A leading developer of innovative storage management software, Open-E, has announced the expansion of its storage management software to over 48 Terabytes without further costs. The operating system Open-E Data Storage Software V6 (DSS V6), now offers more power than ever. Not only has the capacity limit been repealed, but also significant improvements have been reached in context with updates according to the company. The speed of failover and failback functionality has been significantly optimised. These features are especially critical for reliability and high availability of IT infrastructures and call for seamless failure scenarios.
“By removing the capacity limits above 48TB we want to provide our customers with a low-cost expansion of their systems and with a response to the ever-increasing storage requirements in IT,” said Krzysztof Franek, president and CEO of Open-E. “In addition, we increased significantly the efficiency of the Open-E DSS V6 in the areas of failover and failback to increase the availability of the systems of our customers.”
Open-E DSS V6 received updates with additional language (Chinese) in both the Graphical User Interface and Help Functions, as well as updates for a variety of controllers which are now better supported. An OEM kit is also available for OEM partners to facilitate the use and customisation of the storage operation system.
The Open-E Data Storage Software V6 is a unified file and block storage management operating system that offers Network Attached Storage (NAS), iSCSI, InfiniBand and Fiber Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) functionality. The superior performance, security and scalability are offered at a fraction of the cost of alternative storage options. Advanced Features of Open-E DSS V6 include data and volume replication, snapshot volumes, automated failover for iSCSI volumes, WORM and NDMP.
