vSTAC Data appliances are stacked together to create a high availability iSCSI SAN. Storage components, network connections and even complete appliance failures can be sustained without a?ecting data availability.
Storage can be logically and physically expanded while applications are running to meet the needs of the most demanding environments. New appliances contribute capacity, bandwidth, solid state, and RAID resources to the expanded vSTAC Array.
Advanced RAID techniques protect data against the most extreme conditions. While conventional RAID systems protect up to two simultaneous drive failures, Pivot3 RAID 6x extends failure protection to five simultaneous disks or two drives and the loss of an entire appliance.
A load-balanced appliance model reduces the upfront configuration time since configurations are
dynamic and storage resources are applied as needed. There is no need to master complex SAN concepts since the vSTAC is based on familiar Ethernet and server standards.
