Storage Solution for SMBs

Surveillance PlannerVMware Compatibility Guide

Agility, Reliability and Ultimate in Value

The Vess R3000 Series unified storage appliance consolidates both block and file protocols onto a single hardware platform, providing today’s SMB IT operations with cost-effective ways to be flexible, meet performance goals while simplifying storage administration. High availability features design with active-active configuration, the Vess R3000 Series storage solutions can be used in data-intensive environments such as virtualized, cloud data centers or mid-size to large scale surveillance installations utilizing the VESS A Series products where no downtime is required. From Terabytes to Petabytes and beyond with support for on-demand expansion capability plus advanced storage services features bundled, the Vess R3000 Series offerings are the most cost-effective solutions that all SMB’s can afford.

Efficient, Intelligent and Highly Scalable for Your Business Needs

Future proof your storage investment, the Vess R3000 Series supports up to 208 hard drives with online expansion capability. Over-allocating of storage leveraging Thin-Provisioning feature helps take the worry out of planning and testing when additional capacity is required in the future. The included Read/Write Flash Cache Acceleration feature provides additional performance boost while lowering the latency. PROMISE intelligent data caching automatically promotes hot data to cache in real time, so you get the full benefit of flash performance. An additional layer of data protection with the use of the Snapshot feature aides with Point-in-Time content recovery when your business needs it most.

 

Simplifying Management and Support

Simplicity and ease of use are absolutely crucial for SMBs with limited IT resources. The Vess R3000 is designed specially with SMBs in mind as it features One Plug Auto Service (OPAS) to reduce maintenance complexity and streamline an easier tech support workflow. Simply plug in a USB drive and the user can retrieve information about the system for tech support, upgrade firmware, reset passwords and much more. Embedded web storage management with intelligence Wizard technology helps reduce the learning curve for setup and configuring of the storage solution in your environment.

 

Going the Extra Mile to Protect Your Data

The Vess R3000’s new CacheGuard Data Protection features, Advanced Battery Flash Backup, go that extra mile to ensure your data is safe in case of power loss. Delivering protection of RAID controller write cache content beyond the standard 72-hour window, you can rest assured knowing your data is protected even when disaster strikes. Predictive Data Migration (PDM) proactive and predictive analytics keep your data safe with self healing technology.

 

Virtualization Ready

Ready to confront any challenge in today’s virtualized IT environment, the Vess R3000 Series is certified with VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V, Veeam, and DataCore SANsymphony.

Virtualization enables dynamic storage allocations such that physical layers of storage can be utilized most effectively. As virtual machines continue to increase with more virtualized deployments, 16Gb Fibre Channel performance delivers the faster bandwidth needed for growing infrastructures.
