StorTrends 3100n is an affordable 3U, high-density rack-mount Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliance perfect for workgroups or departments. The StorTrends 3100n is a reliable way to manage and store valuable business data without the complexity. The StorTrends 3100n is easy to install and enables an administrator to coordinate all functions relating to discovery, management, tracking and planning for future storage growth.
The StorTrends NAS appliances make it simple to centralize file data storage from Windows, UNIX, Linux and Mac clients across your existing Ethernet network. The StorTrends 3100n offers maximum data protection with RAID 5 with network connectivity to major operating systems which is perfect for workgroups or departmental storage that are experiencing rapid data growth.
Administrators can save time and money by deploying StorTrends 3100n NAS appliances instead of inflexible DAS. Adding capacity in a DAS environment means adding a server and requires downtime. Adding capacity with AMI's StorTrends 3100n means no downtime for users and can be implemented for quick additional storage capacity or long term storage and much better disk utilization than DAS. Ideal for departmental and workgroup storage, it provides many enterprise features at a price tag of about $2.00/GB.
The StorTrends 3100n offers fifteen hot swappable drive bays with SATA support. Other features introduced with the 3100n are advanced Snapshot, thin and exact provisioning, network teaming support, caching support and UPS support. Advanced Snapshot implements a point-in-time copy of a volume similar to taking a picture of the data at that instant. AMI's Snapshot technology is unique which offers near-ZERO performance degradation by reducing the number of IO operations by a factor of three. Network teaming support ensures load balancing across the dual ethernet ports. Target caching support significantly improves performance. UPS support enables the automatic switching of the target cache mode to write-through in the event of a power loss.
ManageTrends, AMI's Storage Management Suite based on Microsoft's .NET technology, discovers and manages StorTrends 3100n appliances deployed across the network and assists in analyzing and tracking enterprise wide storage usage. ManageTrends monitors the storage and storage-related events, provides a detailed analysis of the storage usage and the availability of the storage servers. Detailed information regarding ManageTrends 2.1 is available on the ManageTrends Datasheet.
