LeftHand Networks Storage Solutions

LeftHand Networks is changing the rules of storage networking. With their powerful, yet cost-effective iSCSI SANs, LeftHand Networks customers are not constrained by high cost, high maintenance, vendor-specific systems. These storage solutions deliver SANs that are easy-to-grow, easy-to-manage, and designed to meet your most urgent business needs.

• Scalability Storage networks scale performance along with capacity, from entry-level 6 TB SATA SANs to enterprise-class 100 TB SAS SANs
• High Availability Integrated synchronous and asynchronous replication provide customers with anytime, anywhere data access
• Reliability SAN/iQ Network RAID spreads multiple copies of data across the network, allowing uninterrupted access to volumes even through the loss of an entire datacenter
• Performance Delivering iSCSI SANs on industry standard platforms, and focus our expertise on creating best-in-class features that keep your SAN at peak performance.

Left Hand Network’s open approach gives customers the freedom to build enterprise-class storage solutions on their choice of hardware. The SAN/iQ platform turns enterprise-class x86 servers like the HP ProLiant or IBM System xSeries into scalable network storage ideal for server consolidation and virtualization projects, Microsoft application environments, and disaster recovery solutions.

Making installation easy

LeftHand Networks IP SAN solution enables industry-standard x86 servers and low-cost, ubiquitous iSCSI storage devices to be used to create a centralized storage pool that can be dynamically provisioned to application servers. LeftHand Networks SAN/iQ software builds a simple, open storage architecture that virtualizes all hardware resources to create a high-performance iSCSI SAN. Performance is scaled as capacity is added, since every storage module has its own processors, memory and I/O. High availability of data is provided with a LeftHand Networks IP SAN solution. In addition to the automated redundancy provided, upgrades to storage capacity, the addition of storage modules, and the expansion of existing storage volumes does not cause any user disuption or downtime. Thin Provisioning 2.0 for SAN/iQ eliminates the need to pre-allocate storage resources for various volumes and application servers. SAN volumes are “shrink-wrapped”, and the software layer automatically allocates storage as needed.

Applications

• Distributed Virtualization
• Business Continuance
• Data Protection
• Server Consolidation
• MS Exchange
• MS SQL

Simplify Backup

You can build your SAN without impacting end-users, by enabling you to schedule instantaneous snapshots of storage volumes, and backup data from the snapshot volume. This way, your users have continuous access to the original volume without affecting performance. The LeftHand snapshot capability eliminates the backup window, and removes backup traffic from your LAN, and offloads backup processing from application servers.
