Specifications summary

EonStor DS 3024RTEB scores a 5-star review EonStor DS 3024RTEB scores a 5-star review, as recommended by leading UK tech site IT Pro “Infortrend’s hybrid controllers make the EonStor ESDS 3024RTEB very versatile as their 16Gbps FC ports provide high-speed data access whilst the iSCSI ports can be used for low cost disaster recovery replication. Performance is impeccable and it crams in a lot of features and expandability for the price.” Read more:  http://www.itpro.co.uk/storage/22451/infortrend-eonstor-esds-3024rteb-review

EonStor DS 3000 Advantages High performance High scalability Easy upgradable host interface module Rich data services

High performance All cache hit IOPS Read Seq. Read / Write (MB/s) EonStor DS 3000T Gen2: 1.3M All cache hit IOPS Read EonStor DS 3000: 1M Seq. Read / Write (MB/s) EonStor DS 3000/DS3000 T Gen2: 5,500 / 2,200

High scalability Support up to 360 drives LD size up to 512TB in Gen2. Flexible when using higher capacity disks (8TB/10TB) and increases total capacity utilization. Parity disks save and better capacity utilization Simple and flexible storage system configuration and management

Easy upgradable host interface module (I) Hybrid hosts for diverse environments on one system, e.g. Fibre Channel and onboard iSCSI ports

Easy upgradable host interface module (II) Choose 8Gb/s or 16Gb/s Fibre Channel, 1Gb/s or 10Gb/s iSCSI, or 6Gb/s or 12Gb/s SAS host connectivity (host boards) based on your needs and budget  Host board Controller module

Rich Data Services Advanced data services on mid-range storage Feature Advantage Benefit SSD Cache Copies hot data to high speed SSD cache pool Accelerates performance for random read-intensive applications Automated storage tiering Hot data has higher priority and resides in faster performance tiers. Cold data migrated to lower performance but higher capacity tiers Optimizes utilization of HDDs, SSDs, and RAID levels to enhance ROI Remote replication Data backup with synchronous and asynchronous options in WAN, IP, and FC SAN environments Essential for effective disaster recovery, data backup, or long distance migration SED (Self-encrypting drives) Unique factory encryption secures data plus makes deletion simple and complete Helps users avoid the high costs and other negative consequences of data loss due to breaches , theft, and other events IDR (Intelligent Drive Recovery) Smarter RAID 6 drive clone/replace, data recovery, and media scan Avoids performance-impacting and time-consuming rebuild Snapshot 128-target snapshot included (upgradable to 4096 targets) Users can instantly take point-in-time data images without disrupting online applications and use them as granular recovery points Thin provisioning Automatically allocates system capacity to applications as needed "Just-in-time" capacity allocation helps Increase storage utilization Advanced data services on mid-range storage 13

Automated storage tiering Mix different drive types and RAID levels in the same data volume Drive types: SSD, SAS, NL-SAS or SATA (up to 4 tiers) RAID configuration: RAID 1: offers best protection and great performance but least capacity RAID 5 or RAID 6: offers good capacity and protection but least performance Automatically move data to optimum storage tiers based on data hotness 4-level tiering Tier0 High performance SSD Most accessed data High performance SAS Tier1 Large capacity NL SAS Tier2 Large capacity SATA Tier3 Least accessed data Application note:

Automated storage tiering policy

Remote replication Sync or async full data copies across systems Via FC or iSCSI host ports Up to 64 replication pairs per system The replication can be set as sync or async mode and remote replication can be done through FC or iSCSI connectivity and up to 64 replication pairs per system. In sync mode, target and source will be kept constantly synchronized. In async mode, target and source will be synchronized at user-configurable time interval, like every 2 hours or every 4 hours. Local data copies can be used to protect data from source volume fatal failure. As to remote data copies, they can be used to restart service in minutes once the local site fails due to hardware failure or disasters. Application note: * Both storage systems are required remote replication licenses

Key software feature – self-encrypting drives Disk drives and valuable data can be physically stolen, especially when disposed of Without SED SED technology prevents disk drive data from being stolen even if drives are physically obtained by other parties Compatibility with SED (self-encrypting drives) delivers unbreakable defense against disk theft or misplacement and also expedites data deletion. Benefits Ease of use and improved efficiency for data encryption Improved system performance (CPU) as encryption workload is moved on to drives directly Great for these applications: 1. Banking 2. Military 3. Government and research 4. Healthcare and critical personal info With SED Application note:
