FlashDisk OpenRAID
World’s Fastest SCSI-based Storage With Virtual
“SAN-In-A-Box” Features
At
the heart of every Winchester Systems Open Network Attached Storage
solution is a high performance RAID disk array called FlashDisk OpenRAID.
With multiple generations released, FlashDisk continues to provide an
ultra-high performance network attached storage solution to speed up any
application. But speed is only the beginning. In an effort to make
FlashDisk unbeatably fast, we also made it incredibly uncomplicated. The
plug-and play architecture of FlashDisk make it fast to deploy and easy to
maintain using fewer resources within any enterprise storage environment.
High Performance and High Capacity
Based on the latest in standard interfaces and disk drive technology,
FlashDisk delivers extraordinary performance. This superior performance
makes FlashDisk perfect for a broad spectrum of applications including
database, OLTP, manufacturing, financial, multimedia, imaging, web server,
prepress, and other disk intensive tasks.
Without compromising performance, FlashDisk OpenRAID can be easily
scaled to multiple terabytes with expansion shelves, to meet your growing
business needs. And drives or expansion shelves can be added online
without disrupting users.
Virtual “SAN-In-A-Box” Functionality
FlashDisk network attached storage solution is multi-hostable from two
to twelve servers with up to six servers sharing one storage pool. With
various models and configurations available within the FlashDisk OpenRAID
family of products, you get simple, affordable SAN capabilities. Available
in U160 and 2 Gb Fibre Channel configurations in the same array, FlashDisk
becomes the easiest to use “SAN” on the market today with point-to-point
connectivity. Run large databases on a server connected via Fibre Channel
and access other business applications on a second server connected via
SCSI—simultaneously! This flexibility allows you to migrate from a DAS to
a SAN or NAS environment with ease. FlashDisk OpenSAN’s modular design
allows you to scale server connectivity or storage capacity affordably.
Adding more drives for SCSI-based storage capacity or additional host
channels for multiple server connectivity provides for a cost-effective
system based on your current needs, while providing for the future growth
of your SCSI-based storage environment.
Compatibility
FlashDisk OpenRAID supports any operating system and all servers without
host software. It is compatible with most industry-standard software
packages designed for clustering, disaster recovery, remote mirroring and
disk-to-disk backup solutions.

drive technology with the highest density and fastest “time-to-data”
