: :
Application QoS. Dedicate cache to specific applications and volumes to
enhance performance.
: :
Configuration Flexibility. Dedicate to specific mission-critical applications,
deploy as part of a first SAN in small enterprises, or integrate into a
tiered storage infrastructure for archive, backup, or tape replacement in
larger companies.
: :
Ease of Management. Simplify configuration and storage administration
through easy-to-use graphical user interfaces.
: :
High Availability and Reliability. Leverage RAID-6 dual-parity striping
for more reliable rebuild in the rare event of a disk drive failure; maximize
uptime with redundant hot-pluggable components and the high-reliability
Hitachi SATA implementation.
: :
Business Continuity. Leverage in-system replication and backup software
to shrink backup windows and expedite recovery from application failures.

Network Storage Controller Model NSC55
If your organization seeks additional functionality beyond that provided by
Adaptable Modular Storage or Workgroup Modular Storage, such as mainframe
connection or heterogeneous systems management, the Network Storage
Controller, model NSC55, can provide the functionality you need within a
modular, rackmounted, small-footprint package.
The NSC55 supports advanced storage management and data replication
features previously not available in this class of storage, delivering mainframe
as well as heterogeneous multiplatform connectivity via Fibre Channel, IBM®
ESCON® and FICON®, NAS, and iSCSI. With the NSC55 you can retain your
heterogeneous systems, aggregate them into a virtual pool, deploy them in
tiered architectures, manage them through a single console, and replicate
critical data using a common set of tools. By maximizing the use of your
existing resources and enhancing their functionality, the NSC55 allows you
to simplify your storage environment and reduce total cost of ownership.
