The DSCon company, the distributor hardware and the software for storage, protection and data processing, announced in March, 2011 availability of the complete solution of data storage 10Gb iSCSI constructed using iSCSI Dot Hill 3430 disk arrays, switches 10Gb of Ethernet Mellanox Vantage 6024 and adapters 10Gb Ethernet Mellanox ConnectX-2 or QLogic QLE8242.
The disk storage system of data of Dot Hill 3430 can be delivered with one or two controllers, providing according to 2 or 4 high-speed host connection 10gb/with iSCSI. Thanks to connections 10Gb iSCSI these disk arrays provide the increased access rate to data, sufficient for support of a set of key applications, including virtual servers, infrastructure of virtual PCs (VDI), stream video, post-production and high-performance computing clusters, says DSCon. In Dot Hill 3430 it is possible to install 12 hard drives of SAS, SATA, SSD of a form factor 3.5 inches in the mixed configuration. Expansion of a system to the maximum capacity in 192TB (96 disks) is performed using JBOD expansion arrays.
According to DSCon, the Mellanox (Voltaire) Vantage 6024 switches equipped respectively with 24 ports 10Gb Ethernet provide the low level of delays, high performance, and are optimized for use in corporate data centers and in the field of "cloud" calculations. They provide the smallest indicators of levels of delays for networks 10Gb Ethernet and energy consumption (at the rate on port) in the industry. The Vantage 6024 switches provide completely not blocked capacity in 480gb/sec.
In turn, two-port Ethernet (NIC) Mellanox ConnectX-2 EN adapters provide high capacity of connections 10Gb Ethernet and provide hardware support of the DCE and Fibre Channel over Ethernet protocols (FCoE) and also such technology as SR-IOV providing the optimized capacity of virtual machines noted in DSCon. Adapters can be delivered with support of copper cables of SFP+ and optical SR and LR transceivers.
Two-port QLogic QLE8242 adapters support parallel traffic of LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (FCoE, iSCSI) on shared connection 10Gb Ethernet. Adapters provide complete hardware unloading of processing of the FCoE and iSCSI protocols and also provide an expanded set of means of improvement of virtualization of systems. Can be delivered with support of copper cables of SFP+ and optical SR transceivers.
