Smart UPS Support
The AMI StorTrends 3200i supports iSCSI, enabling block applications like Microsoft® Exchange and Oracle® to be deployed or
stored on the same server as traditional file services and storage. The AMI StorTrends 3200i is designed with performance in mind,
and includes features for enterprise-level storage management such as hardware RAID, advanced snapshots, volume replication,
and failover.
Dual dialect StorTrends® iTX software enables transfer of both block and file data over the existing Ethernet network. It provides
advanced disaster recovery features such as synchronous, asynchronous, snapshot-assisted and journal-assisted replication,
failover, and failback. StorTrends iTX also features high availability grouping, network teaming support, UPS support, advanced
snapshots, SAN and NAS snapshot scheduling and advanced caching for IP-SAN appliances.
Volume replication allows data to be stored on multiple StorTrends appliances at multiple sites, for high availability and disaster
recovery in the event of a catastrophe. The advanced snapshot capability of the AMI StorTrends 3200i features Redirect-on-Write
(ROW) technology with near-zero degradation when writing or rolling back snapshots. Administrators can schedule up to 1,022
read-write and 1,022 read-only snapshots per volume, and up to 2,048 snapshots per box. A maximum of 64 volumes per target is
supported.
