High speed streaming SAN solution from Huge
Huge Systems have started shipping SanStream, a family of shared fault-tolerant RAID disk arrays that support traditional networking protocols, including Appletalk, SMB and NFS, as well as the new iSCSI protocol.
Earlier this year, Huge Systems demonstrated a prototype of this product at NAB 2002.
SanStream is housed in a compact 2U 19" rack mountable form factor. The unit includes everything required for true, shared storage, including a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) switch, file sharing software and real-time fault-tolerant RAID storage. Initially, two versions of this flexible product are available, both of which use five hot-swappable disk drives. For small Storage Area Network (SAN) configurations, the SanStream 480-6 includes a six-port GigE switch and 480GB of RAID storage. The larger SanStream 720-12 includes a twelve port GigE switch and 720GB of RAID storage. Both copper and optical versions of the GigE switches are available.
Using SanStream, companies can easily build a fully functional SAN system without any additional components. Since many Macs and PCs already ship with GigE networking capability, no additional hardware or software is required. For SANs with 12 clients or less, each workstation simply plugs into one of the GigE ports on SanStream, providing a high bandwidth connection directly to the content on the device and eliminating networking bottlenecks.
Larger systems can be configured by using external GigE switches.
