Overview

Businesses streamline their IT infra-

structure by moving from a piecemeal

approach where each server has its own

direct attached storage (DAS) to one

where an iSCSI RAID storage system is

used to provide disk capacity to multiple

servers through an IP-based storage area

network (IP SAN). This consolidated

storage has the economic beneﬁt of being

easier to administer than DAS, freeing

time for IT personnel to focus on more

strategic projects. Because storage is easily

apportioned to servers as needed, while

they are up and running, there is no need

to over-provision them with disks when

they are installed, saving money. The risk

of a business disruption because a server

runs out of disk capacity is minimised.

The RAID storage system provides signi-

ﬁcantly better storage to the servers than

DAS. It is faster because it uses multiple

hard drives in parallel to provide increased

performance. RAID technology is utilised

to ensure that data will not be lost, and

that business operations will continue

uninterrupted, when a hard drive fails.

Back-ups complete signiﬁcantly faster

because the back-up server can access

the data to be protected directly from the

RAID storage system, without burdening

critical business servers.

Snap Server 700i Series storage systems

provide your Windows or Linux applica-

tion servers with enterprise-class iSCSI

storage that is economical, ﬂexible,

scalable and easy to manage. They are

designed for ultimate uptime, and grow

modularly with your needs.

Flexible and Scalable

The Snap Server 700i Series by Adaptec

delivers higher performance because data

is spread over multiple disks, permitting

disk operations to be performed in

parallel. Snap Server 700i Series storage

systems are 1U rackmount units that

contain four hot-swappable 250GB,

500GB or 750GB SATA II hard drives

for a total capacity of 1TB, 2TB or 3TB.

A unit is also available with four hot-

swappable 300GB SAS drives for a total

capacity of 1.2TB. Add capacity modular-

ly using up to eight 2U Adaptec SANbloc

S50 expansion chassis, each of which

houses up to 12 hot-swappable drives, to

reach total combined capacities as high

as 36TB. Mix and match SATA II and

SAS drives within the SANbloc S50 to

optimise around highest capacity or

highest performance. Up to four Gigabit

Ethernet ports are available to handle

demand from one to 512 servers with

class-leading performance of up to

386MB/s while providing path redun-

dancy to the storage system.
