Winchester Systems Inc, a data storage solutions provider, said Wednesday that it is continuing the roll out of its 10th Generation of FlashDisk RAID
disk arrays with the release of its FlashDisk SX-2300, offering 8GB Fibre channel ports and a new generation of ASICs which combine to deliver up to 1,400MB/s data throughput and 105,000 IOPS.
A ready-integrated package called SAN Integration Server, comprising SVC, SAN switches and IBM FastT
disk arrays, will carry a base configuration list price of $140,000.
Disk arrays are changing the way we think of storage.
Winchester Systems Inc, a provider of data storage solutions, announced on Tuesday (2 June) that its FlashDisk SX-2300 and SX-3400 SAS/SATA
disk arrays now support the new larger capacity 600GB, 10k rpm disk drives.
While no formal standard specifications on RAID 6 have been published to date, a
disk array configuration that can provide failure protection to more than one hard disk is called RAID 6.
In addition the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) family has increased its external
disk array revenue share for the fifth consecutive quarter.
ProtecTIER is a software data protection platform that runs on a standard enterprise server and connects to any standard Fibre Channel
disk array to form a highly scalable target.
The new products include a 2.0Gb fibre channel virtual
disk array (claimed to be the industry's first) and network attached storage (NAS) solutions as well as software for the company's XP
disk array family.
The new benchmark results were achieved in an environment running SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 4.70 solution on a combined solution including NEC's Express5800/1320Xe, 32-way SMP, Intel Itanium 2, 1.6 GHz, 32 KB L1 cache, 256 KB L3 cache, 9 MB L3 cache, 128 GB main memory, and iStorageS2000 SAN
disk array system, Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for Itanium-based systems and SQL Server 2000 (64-bit).
Supporting the grid is a data warehouse consisting of a 5TB
disk array and Quantum SDLT drives in a tape library to provide secure storage of their data, as well as provide fast access for their scientists and developers.
