Frequently Asked Questions
What is a unified SAN/NAS storage system and why do I need one?
A unified SAN/NAS storage system like the GS 3016 combines block-level (SAN) and file-level (NAS) storage protocols in a single platform. This eliminates the complexity and cost of managing separate storage arrays, simplifies administration, and provides flexibility to support diverse application requirements—from databases and virtualization to file sharing and object storage—all within one intelligent system.
How does the Infortrend GS 3016 support cloud integration?
The EonStor GS 3016 features native cloud integration capabilities that enable seamless data tiering, backup, and synchronization with public and private cloud environments. This allows organizations to implement hybrid cloud strategies, extend storage capacity on-demand, and optimize costs by moving less-frequently accessed data to cloud tiers while maintaining high-performance access to active data.
Is the GS 3016 suitable for virtualization environments?
Yes, the 3U 16-bay unified storage system is specifically designed for virtualization workloads. Its high-performance architecture, support for multiple RAID levels, and advanced data protection features make it ideal for VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM environments. The system's scalability ensures it can grow with your virtual infrastructure needs.
What redundancy and high availability features does the GS 3016 provide?
The Infortrend EonStor GS 3016 includes comprehensive high availability features including RAID protection, redundant controllers, hot-swappable components, and active/active clustering support. These capabilities ensure continuous data availability and minimize downtime for mission-critical enterprise storage deployments.
