Infortrend EonStor GS Family now supports two robust features symmetric active-active controller configuration and Service Manager, bringing system performance and user convenience to a whole new level.
Infortrend Technology, Inc. announced its EonStor GS family supports Symmetric Active-Active Controller configuration to minimize administrative effort and boost performance. Symmetric Active-Active Controllers can simplify IT management by eliminating the need to configure a preferred path in VMware clustered environments.
Storage Management Made Easy with Infortrend’s Intuitive Guiding Tool
EonOne is Infortrend’s new generation management tool designed to guide users through storage related setup, configuration, management and maintenance. With the smart initial setup wizard and Workflow, configuring new systems is made faster and easier without the hassle of complicated navigations.
For maintenance, EonOne provides Storage Resource Management, Quota management, and complete event notifications to ensure users stay on top of storage conditions anytime, anywhere.
Infortrend is also introducing Service Manager, which can automatically report EonStor GS issues to Infortrend Service Center to request support service.
The Symmetric Active-Active Controllers simplify IT management by eliminating the need to configure a preferred path in server virtualization environments. Performance is boosted as path thrashing is eliminated and workload is more equally distributed without additional load balancing software required. I/O can continue through the remaining paths without interruption in the event of a path failure and failover is accomplished without the need to renegotiate a connection.
