Reliability, Scalability, Flexibility and High Performance SAS to SAS/SATA II JBOD Solution

Most businesses today are facing escalating data growth. The task of small-and-medium-size enterprises predicting storage needs and controlling costs can be especially challenging as business grows.
FusionStor understands these challengers and has developed optimized storage solutions to match your specific application requirements. FusionStor IFS 7200 is designed to meet the needs of SMB customers to provide no-single-point-of failure, modular, scalable and affordable subsystems.

Price/ Performance and Flexibility
FusionStor IFS 7200 is designed to support intermixed combinations of SAS and SATA II hard drives depending on specific customer's needs. It provides the most cost-effective storage pools for different kinds of data, and provides a better storage architecture for the ILM(Information Life Cycle) applications The IFS 7200 supports high-performance 3Gb SAS throughout its architecture, including the midplane, drives, and host/drive ports. It also supports a raw capacity of up to 24TB (using 2TB SATA II drives). FusionStor IFS 7200 also provides cache auto-resizing and cache buffer size auto-configuration features in order to improve storage performance and maximize system efficiency.

Scalability, Reliability and Serviceability
By expansion, up to 48 SATA II disk drives can be included in a FusionStor 3300 system in order to meet the requirements of various fixed-content and retention-managed data applications that require large amounts of storage capacity. It supports very large numbers of servers and applications of up to 256 LUNs. Dedicated hot spare and global hot spare are also designed to gain reliability when RAID function is enabled. The FusionStor IFS 7200 is a reliable storage system designed with redundant, hot-swappable field-replaceable units (FRUs) for easy serviceability. In the event of component failure, a hard disk drive, power supply, battery module, controller or fan module can be replaced within seconds. The FusionStor IFS 7200 also supports non-disruptive feature, eliminating downtime for firmware upgrades.

Centralized and Intuitive Management Tools
The QMS (Qtrace Management System) is designed to support centralized management of all FS series. It helps administrators to quickly configure and monitor storage from a Java technology-based Web browser interface.
