The SANRAD V-Switch 3840 provides the largest number of storage ports and the fastest architecture in the V-Switch family. The V-Switch 3840 uses a real-time operating system and high-end network processors to deliver high performance with complete component and system redundancy.
SANRAD StoragePro software, included with the V-Switch 3840, delivers comprehensive storage pooling, virtualization and management services. Global Data Replication (GDR) software can be added to provide enterprise-class data replication and site recovery between V-Switches located at facilities connected by any local, metropolitan or wide area IP network.
SANRAD V-Switch 3840 Key Features and Benefits include:
With the SANRAD V-Switch 3840 Open Heterogeneous System Architecture - Use any brand or type storage system directly connected or connected through a FC SAN fabric to the V-Switch to create and manage a single virtual storage pool. Leverage existing storage and combine any new storage from other vendors.
Scalable Virtual Storage Pools of the SANRAD V-Switch 3840 - Dynamically create large storage pools by consolidating many storage systems into a centrally managed pool that can easily scale to several peta-bytes.
Efficient Network-Based Virtualization of the SANRAD V-Switch 3840 - Create thousands of custom storage volumes across all the connected storage systems within the storage pool to improve storage utilization and reduce storage costs.
V-Switch 3840 Virtual Storage Optimized for Server Virtualization - Get completely autonomous recovery of virtual servers with no need for IT intervention. Gain uninterrupted virtual machine access to data even during complete system outages, regardless of the physical location of the virtual server.
Flexible Tiered Storage of the V-Switch 3840 - Combine and virtualize different storage systems into the same storage pool to provide various service levels, storage costs and performance grades for different applications.
High Availability Use Active/Active V-Switch clustering with automatic failover, failback and multi-pathing for uninterrupted access to data.
Easy, Live Data Migration - Copy over 2TB of data per hour between storage systems without interrupting production to eliminate downtime and simplify storage management.
SANRAD V-Switch 3840 Local Data Protection - Use local inter-campus / inter-datacenter synchronous data mirroring over FC or dedicated fiber optic cables (dark fiber), snapshot, virtual shadow copy service (VSS) and cloning to prevent data loss.
Enterprise-Class Disaster Recovery (Sold as Option) - Get robust data replication and recovery with no disruption to IT operations. Implement unlimited data replication and site recovery between V-Switches located at facilities connected by any local, metropolitan or wide area IP network. No additional replication hardware or software is required at the server or storage level for significant cost savings.
Storage Security of the SANRAD V-Switch 3840 - Get complete authorization control and data protection with Access Control Lists and iSCSI login authentication (CHAP, SRP).
Simple and Centralized Management Use a single, intuitive web-based GUI or a comprehensive CLI with SSH.
V-Switch 3840 Removable Onboard Compact Flash - Quickly replace or replicate V-Switch configurations, mirror the configuration database for fast recovery, replacement and replication of V-Switches.
Reliable, Easy-to-Service Package Design - 1 unit rack size. Dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies deliver continuous operation and easy replacement. All network and storage connections are on the front panel. Adjustable rack mounts fit racks up to 39" in depth.
