5. 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:

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

17. SSD Cache Accelerated read performance for hot data
Suitable for random read-intensive applications, such as Microsoft SQL, mail servers, CRM, Oracle database, SAP, and VDI
Large SSD cache pool capacity up to 3.2TB (1.6TB per controller)
Wear level information to monitor remaining life expectancy
Intelligently moves a copy of the most frequently-accessed data from HDDs to SSD Cache.
Sequential read data will not be placed to SSD Cache pool
Always keep two copies of hot data, in SSD Cache and HDD
Simple and intuitive GUI design

19. 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

21. 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

22. 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
