Combine LeftHand
Networks' highly available, scalable and easy-to-use storage clustering architecture with the
economics of iSCSI to solve your data storage challenges. The LeftHand iSCSI Storage Solution is an integrated
storage system that comes in a wide range of capacities, and offers
ultimate flexibility to grow with you over time.
Unlike many
traditional SAN architectures, which can loose performance as you scale
up the system, the value of the LeftHand SAN is its unique ability to
scale capacity, availability, and performance at the same time.
LeftHand’s
Distributed Storage Matrix architecture
— built around our SAN/iQ® software — uses all the familiar
storage area network (SAN) components to build a robust and scalable network storage offering that was designed to
be easy to use. SAN/iQ software combines multiple small storage modules together into a single SAN/iQ
Cluster (simple, and effective, storage clustering). The storage modules are
built from standards-based components, offering users affordability and
access to the continual advancements that come with standards-based
solutions. The SAN is one pool of storage, managed from a single
intuitive GUI. This unique architecture eliminates all the ease of use,
scalability, and availability limitations of legacy SANs, scaling
performance and redundancy as you add capacity to the SAN/iQ Cluster.
Because the
solution is simple, it’s ideal for
users looking to transition from direct-attached storage to a SAN. But
because it’s full-featured and offers availability and scalability
benefits not found in other SANs, it also meets the needs of data
center environments deploying an iSCSI SAN for applications where a SAN wasn’t
previously practical.
