DNF Storage Upgrades StorBank-XL Line of Hybrid NAS and iSCSI Appliances With Enhanced Backup and Data Archiving Features
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) HAYWARD, CA, July 15 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Dynamic Network Factory, Inc. (DNF), a leading
maker of high-performance network attached storage (NAS), storage area
networks (SANs), RAID and iSCSI systems, today introduced new backup and
data archiving capabilities for its StorBank-XL line of hybrid appliances,
which combine NAS and iSCSI in a single, unified IP storage platform. The
company will also add support for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives this
month to broaden the line's flexibility for primary and secondary storage
applications.
The StorBank-XL product line consists of seven models designed to support a
broad range of storage needs for rapidly growing small to mid-size
organizations. Offering high performance, advanced functionality and high
reliability, StorBank-XL features an intuitive user interface, easy system
backup, remote replication and point in time snapshots, making it ideal for
disaster recovery and disk-to-disk backup. The updated StorBank-XL
supports network data management protocol (NDMP) to enable advanced backup
functionality and easier integration into each organization's existing
backup process -- reducing backup windows and centralizing management.
StorBank-XL now also features Write Once Read Many (WORM) iSCSI volumes and
file shares for efficient compliance and data archiving. With WORM,
critical data is protected from erasure and tampering, whether it is
sensitive, archive or backup information.
DNF has also reduced hardware requirements on the StorBank-XL line by
consolidating file and block storage systems into a single platform. As a
single appliance with unified storage, StorBank-XL supports NAS and iSCSI
for both file and block storage needs, resulting in simplified management,
enhanced performance, and easy deployment.
In July, StorBank-XL will ship with configurations using SATA as well as
10,000- or 15,000-RPM SAS drives, making the systems ideal for
transaction-intensive applications, high-definition video streaming and
other
business-critical deployments requiring high disk performance. SAS also
provides improved options for tiered storage flexibility.
Key high-performance NAS features on the StorBank-XL include single or dual
Intel second-generation Quad-Core Xeon processors, up to 4GB of
fully-buffered system memory with error correction, and dual copper gigabit
Ethernet connectivity.
Pricing for the StorBank-XL product line starts at $3,300. For more
