SCALABLE GRID NAS SYSTEMS
Spinnaker Networks, a leader in the development of next generation
distributed
storage systems, announced the immediate availability of SpinStor storage
arrays based on 146 gigabyte disk drive technology. With this new drive
technology the SpinServer 3300 breaks the 2 cents/megabyte barrier.
The SpinStor RAID and SpinStor JBOD storage arrays now provide more than 2
terabytes of storage capacity in only 3U of rack space to meet the demand for
ultra-dense storage systems.
"Spinnaker is the only supplier able to offer enterprise class NAS for
under
two cents per megabyte," said Jeff Hornung, Spinnaker Networks' vice president
of Marketing. SpinStor delivers true enterprise class features such as NFS
and CIFS, Scalable Grid Clustering, Non-disruptive File and File System
Movement, Snapshots, High Availability Failover and Mirroring, along with the
ability to scale single file system sizes to hundreds of terabytes and single
file sizes to 22 terabytes."
The SpinServer open architecture and support of industry standards enables
Spinnaker to keep pace with the latest technological advancements in storage
networking and support best in class components and partners to provide a
complete storage solution.
The SpinServer 3300 System and 3300G NAS Gateway consolidate the file
services
of any size enterprise by non-disruptively scaling a single file system from 1
terabyte to 11,000 terabytes of capacity and provide cost savings through
simplified management and more efficient use of hardware resources. Near
linear performance scaling inherent to the Spinnaker architecture delivers the
ever-increasing throughput demanded by the file system as it is scaled up in
size.
The Spinnaker architecture delivered the highest results ever posted on the
Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. (SPEC) System File Server 3.0 (SFS 3.0)
test for NAS server performance, where the SpinServer 3300 recorded 23,363
IOPS in a single node test and 117,538 IOPS in a 6-node cluster test.
