AssuredSAN 5000 Pro Series: Seriously Smart, Real-Time Tiered Storage for the Mid-range
The AssuredSAN Pro 5000 Series with RealStor software takes tiered storage to a new level — beyond competitors’ batch migration and into a new era of autonomic, real-time data tiering. With RealStor™, businesses gain the advantage of very high performance SSDs, using them to their maximum benefit, while storing less frequently accessed data on slower, but much less expensive, hard disk drives. Designed for the midrange market, the AssuredSAN Pro 5000 Series is a high-performance, highly available, fully integrated storage solution that delivers consistently faster access to current data with built-in, real-time, autonomic tiered storage and virtualization.
AssuredSAN Storage—Wicked-fast Performance, 99.999 Percent Availability
The Dot Hill AssuredSAN storage portfolio offers up to 384 terabytes of capacity in a single system, great ease-of-use and up to 99.999 percent availability. The AssuredSAN 4000 Series features the latest storage networking technologies such as 8Gb Fibre Channel and 6Gb SAS.
The newest member of the AssuredSAN family, the 4000 Series sets a new Dot Hill performance standard. Designed with a powerful processor, these systems provide accelerated performance for sequential workloads, making them ideal solutions for high performance computing, telecommunications data capture, media streaming, video post-production, and broadcasting. The 4000 Series supports 5200 MB/s sequential reads, and 3000 MB/s sequential writes, ideal for HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D workflows.
AssuredSAN solutions feature a number of eco-friendly enhancements such as drive spin-down capability and 595-watt 80 PLUS-rated (greater than 80 percent energy efficiency) power supplies for reduced operating costs. Additionally, AssuredSAN arrays also features Dot Hill’s patented EcoStor™ “green” battery-free alternative for cache memory, which leverages a combination of super capacitors and flash memory that outlasts traditional batteries nearly fivefold. Business benefits include lower maintenance and disposal costs and reduced server and application down time due to scheduled battery replacement and maintenance.
