SANRAD V-Switch 3440

with integrated

SANRAD StoragePro software is an open,
scalable solution that provides easy, robust SAN
connectivity and storage management for any
physical or virtual server.

V-Switch 3440 provides the best cost performance
in the V-Switch family. It uses a real-time operating
system and high-end network processors to deliver
high performance with complete component and
system redundancy.

SANRAD StoragePro software, included with the
V-Switch 3440, delivers comprehensive storage
pooling, virtualization and management services.

Global Data Replication (GDR) software can be
added to provide enterprise-class data replication
and site recovery between V-Switches located at
facilities connected by any local, metropolitan or
wide area IP network.

SANRAD’s unique network architecture delivers
open, heterogeneous support for any storage,
providing IT managers complete flexibility
to leverage existing storage investments and
add new storage to meet the specific cost,
performance, and reliability needs of
the enterprise.

SANRAD V-Switches couple FC and iSCSI
connectivity with integrated storage management,
virtualization, and disaster recovery services.
Customers can use inexpensive iSCSI to connect
and manage any storage wherever it resides,
physically or virtually, regardless of geographic
location. Critical tasks such as backup, data
migration and replication are performed non-
disruptively with no downtime to the business.

open heterogeneous System Architecture
Use any brand or type storage system directly connected or connected through a
FC SAN fabric to the V-Switch to create and manage a single virtual storage pool.
Leverage existing storage and combine any new storage from other vendors.

Scalable Virtual Storage Pools
Dynamically create large storage pools by consolidating many storage systems into a
centrally managed pool that can easily scale to several peta-bytes.

efficient Network-Based Virtualization
Create thousands of custom storage volumes across all connected storage systems
within the storage pool to improve storage utilization and reduce
storage costs.

Virtual Storage optimized for Server Virtualization
Get completely autonomous recovery of virtual servers with no need for IT
intervention. Gain uninterrupted virtual machine access to data even during
complete system outages, regardless of the physical location of the virtual server.

Flexible tiered Storage
Combine and virtualize different storage systems into the same storage pool to
provide various service levels, storage costs and performance grades for
different applications.

high Availability
Use Active/Active V-Switch clustering with automatic failover, failback and
multi-pathing for uninterrupted access to data.

easy, Live Data Migration
Copy over 2TB of data per hour between storage systems without interrupting
production to eliminate downtime and simplify storage management.

Local Data Protection
Use local inter-campus / inter-datacenter synchronous data mirroring over FC or
dedicated fiber optic cables (dark fiber), snapshot, virtual shadow copy service
(VSS) and cloning to prevent data loss.

enterprise-class Disaster Recovery (Sold as option)
Get robust data replication and recovery with no disruption to IT operations.
Implement unlimited data replication and site recovery between V-Switches located
at facilities connected by any local, metropolitan or wide area IP network. No
additional replication hardware or software is required at the server or storage level
for significant cost savings.

Storage Security
Get complete authorization control and data protection with Access Control Lists
and iSCSI login authentication (CHAP, SRP).

Simple and centralized Management
Use a single, intuitive web-based GUI or a comprehensive CLI with SSH.

Removable onboard compact Flash
Quickly replace or replicate V-Switch configurations, mirror the configuration
database for fast recovery, replacement and replication of V-Switches.

Reliable, easy-to-Service Package Design
1 unit rack size. Dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies deliver continuous
operation and easy replacement. All network and storage connections are on the
front panel. Adjustable rack mounts fit racks up to 39’’ in depth.
