EtherDrive SAN Solutions

Is your budget shrinking while your network storage needs are growing? Are you suffering from “sticker shock” induced by expensive Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN solutions? EtherDrive® SAN solutions offer Fibre Channel speeds at Ethernet prices! Starting at just $1,995 for a 4TB system, EtherDrive® is the affordable SAN solution. With sustained access speeds from 200MBytes/sec to over 600MBytes/sec, EtherDrive® SAN solutions are fast. From a 4TB single storage appliance to multi-PetaByte system by simply adding more storage appliances, EtherDrive® SAN solutions are scalable. From a single storage appliance to a network of sophisticated virtualized storage LUNs, EtherDrive® SAN solutions embrace virtualization.

Coupling Ethernet technology with SATA hard disk drives, EtherDrive® SAN solutions exploit commodity components to deliver affordable, fast   SAN solutions that keep more green in your wallet! Whether you use your own SATA compliant 3.5” disk drives or our certified enterprise class disk drives, you are in control! EtherDrive® SAN solutions accept standard SATA hard disk drives. Ethernet and SATA disk drives - two proven technologies in one affordable, fast   SAN solution - EtherDrive®.

EtherDrive® SAN solutions use the open ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE) lightweight SAN protocol. Simple. Easy to understand. Easy to use. AoE uses Ethernet to transport ATA disk commands without the burden of TCP/IP overhead, thereby enabling disk drives to become AoE devices connected directly to an Ethernet network. An AoE device can be a single physical disk or a logical device made up of multiple disks. An EtherDrive® SAN appliance is an AoE target device.
