High-performance workgroup storage in a small package FireXpress iSCSI solutions are At Box’s latest storage system products that provide cost-effective, high-performance, feature rich, energy effi cient (“Green”) iSCSI RAID storage solutions for IP Storage Area Networks (SANs). Inside FireXpress iSCSI storage systems is a unique technology, comprising a next generation “Storage System on a Chip” designed to accelerate iSCSI RAID, At Box’s advanced storage virtualization firmware, and At Box’s embedded IP-based graphical user interface (GUI). This special technology enables FireX press iSCSI to be the industry’s most advanced iSCSI storage systems at entry level pricing, supporting line rate host I/O performance, that is easy to install, configure, and maintain. FireXpress iSCSI is a bare-bones appliance, including only the cache memory, allowing the administrator maximum flexibility in drive configuration. Both SSDs and HDDs can be used on the FireXpress iSCSI. IP SAN Application Solution FireXpress iSCSI storage solutions are a perfect union for iSCSI solutions that require sharing storage within a workgroup, storage consolidation, or SAN/NAS consolidation across a single unified fabric. FireXpress iSCSI provides block-based, cost-effective RAID storage solutions by integrating forward-looking technology. The FireXpress iSCSI design addresses a wide spectrum of customer environments from the most demanding transaction processing workloads to the high performance requirement of video applications. It supports boot from SAN for diskless workstation environments. Robust Storage Management The core of FireXpress iSCSI storage system is the highly integrated, high performance 10Gbps storage SoC. This SoC has embedded processors running a fully featured, integrated storage virtualization firmware stack. FireXpress iSCSI also offers features such as media protection, caching, redundancy, and RAID virtualization that meet the storage requirements and needs of enterprise class storage systems. Flexible Expansion FireXpress iSCSI 1U rackmount chassis supports 6x power-efficient 2.5” SATA HDDs, and can be configured to take advantage of the 4 port GbE throughput. FireXpress iSCSI supports up to 2 eSATA expansion units (JBODs). By utilizing SATA disks, FireXpress iSCSI enables compelling block-based network storage solutions such as near line storage, disk-to-disk backup, and DAS replacement along with high-capacity providing compelling total cost of ownership. Intuitive Management FireXpress iSCSI includes a simple management GUI with an easy “4-click” installation that greatly reduces configuration time so IT managers can focus their valuable resources on supporting their users instead of maintaining equipment. At Box’s comprehensive storage management suite allows remote configuration and monitoring of FireXpress iSCSI SAN storage subsystems. This embedded IP-based management console is rich in features, allowing users to install, configure, and maintain their online network storage with uncommon ease and flexibility. Bullet-Proof Security FireXpress iSCSI supports many strong security features. FireXpress iSCSI secures iSCSI data connections, using CHAP for authentication, VLAN for “zoning”, and initiator ACL (equivalent to LUN masking). Management connections are protected by SSL encryption. Performance - 6 x 2.5" HDD support in 1U rackmount chassis
