EonStor F16F-R2021 Demonstrates Interoperability With IPStor(R) Software
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- RAID storage expert Infortrend® announced today that its EonStor® F16F-R2021 Fibre-to-Fibre, redundant controller RAID subsystem has passed qualification testing with FalconStor's IPStor® solutions.
FalconStor's IPStor network storage infrastructure software solutions remove the complexity and expense from storage management by seamlessly delivering storage area network (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS) infrastructure, and advanced enterprise-class storage services for both networked and direct attached storage under a unified management umbrella across Fibre Channel and IP/iSCSI. IPStor optimizes storage utilization, accelerates backup and recovery, maximizes I/O performance, and ensures business continuity via sophisticated data replication services.
The EonStor F16F-R2021 was tested with IPStor v5.0 in a SAN environment including switches from Brocade Communications Systems; a host computer from Dell; Microsoft Windows 2000 with SAN client software; and products from other FalconStor certified suppliers. Testing on this subsystem was completed March 1, 2006, and Infortrend plans to submit other RAID arrays for verification testing in the future.
"FalconStor delivers secure, reliable, cost-effective solutions by testing IPStor's interoperability with a wide range of hardware and software products in real-world, end-to-end storage networking environments," said Donald Mead, vice president, marketing/storage networking solutions, of FalconStor. "Now that the EonStor F16F-R2021 has passed our certification testing, IT managers can be assured that this system will install easily and work seamlessly in their complex, multi-vendor networks."
"Our EonStor subsystems are known for providing high performance, high reliability data storage," commented Tony Chu, president of Infortrend Corporation. "Participation in FalconStor's Technology Partner Certification Program gives our customers the added confidence that they will have the same high standard of compatibility, performance, and availability when building a storage network that includes IPStor software."
