MPAK IP-SAN
solutions enable the simple creation of
Storage Area Networks (SANs) for continuous
access and effective storage management
across standard Ethernet environments
delivering 24/7 data availability &
full storage productivity.
IP SAN Solutions
The explosive growth in information is
continually driving up the cost and complexity
of acquiring, provisioning and scaling
storage systems. The challenge is to supply
reliable access and optimal storage capacity
while simplifying management and cutting
overhead.
MPAK lets you connect servers and users
over existing Ethernet networks to any
FC or SCSI storage system to create IP
Storage Area Networks (IP-SANs). MPAK
combines IP connectivity with server-independent
volume management and RAID functionality
to guarantee high storage availability
and effective resource provisioning while
reducing storage networking costs:
- MPAK cuts the cost of creating Storage
Area Networks by up to 70% by interconnecting
your servers with storage using standard,
economical IP connectivity. This eliminates
high Fibre Channel connectivity cost
barriers and allows you to re-use your
existing IT infrastructure.
- MPAK lets you pool storage across
enclosures, maximizing resource utilization
by up to 90%, compared with only 30%
when using Direct Attached Storage (DAS).
- MPAK agent-free volume management
lets you provision and centrally manage
storage volumes from the network, eliminating
the need to purchase and maintain agents
on each connected server.
- MPAK's data mirroring and storage
failover services ensure complete data
availability. MPAK provides data redundancy
and high availability by performing
real-time data replication and automatic
data path re-routing.
