This document describes how EonStor® high-performance iSCSI arrays can serve as tier-1 storage in terms of performance, scalability and availability.

This document proposes some important factors users should take into consideration when they want to make their storage greener by making it more efficient.

This document introduces how SANWatch – Configuration Manager enables centralized configuration, time synchronization and firmware upgrade for multiple subsystems.

This document introduces SANWatch’s disk performance monitor module and its main features.

This document introduces SANWatch’s multipathing driver, EonPath and its data path failover and load-balancing mechanism.

This document introduces SANWatch’s event notification utility, Notification Manager, its main features and provides the suggested practice.

This document introduces the basic technology and features of SANWatch – Snapshot, how it addresses the problems about traditional way of data copying and recovery and its main uses.

When users need to view detailed information or do maintenance and configuration tasks on a specific EonStor subsystem though SANWatch, they have to start Storage Manager.  This document introduces what is Storage Manager and its main features.

RAID technology is used to protect data as well as provide more efficient data access and capacity utilization with disk-based subsystems. RAID6 is essentially an extension of RAID5 that allows for additional fault tolerance by using a second independent distributed parity scheme (dual parity).

This application note explains how the dynamic cooling mechanism is implanted on Infortrend storage to increase system energy efficiency

In order to meet the demands of the storage system, enterprises apply SAN to increase the system efficiency and capacity expansion. According to SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association), the purpose of the SAN is transmitting data between storage systems and storage systems or storage systems and client servers. The SAN fabric contains physical connections from storage systems to client, and then storage management devices, servers, and network devices. 

This document describes how EonStor storage systems protect your data through various kinds of advanced RAID technologies, including RAID6, SMART technologies and Media Scan.

This paper explores the current data manipulation requirements for business and shows how SANWatch, Infortrend's proprietary integrated storage management software designed exclusively for its EonStor RAID arrays, can solve many companies storage dilemmas.

Managing multiple RAID arrays has just been simplified.

With the new Centralized Management function included in RAIDWatch® 2.3, all networked RAID systems appear in one window, making it easy to monitor multiple systems without starting RAIDWatch.

Greater storage system availability and improved performance are high priorities for business IT managers. Multipathing is a fault tolerant technique where there is more than one physical path between the CPU in a computer system and its mass storage devices.

This paper discusses the benefits of current multipathing solutions and how the technology increases end-to-end redundancy and achieves storage availability and high performance when used with a RAID array.
