Mistral Solutions can now supply the DNF Storage StorBank-XL 40t, an innovative hybrid storage system comprising NAS and iSCSI (File and Block modes).

This storage system offers advanced features, high performance and extended reliability.

Easy setup, a friendly GUI and high redundancy are a few key features.

The flexible integrated NAS systems can be configured for mass storage or high-performance implementations.

The StorBank-XL 40t Pentium RAID NAS is a high-availability Tower Pentium D NAS server that incorporates Serial ATA storage capacities of 500Gbyte to 3,000Gbyte (3Tbyte) with the latest NAS, iSCSI and RAID technologies.

High-performance features include a choice of single Pentium processors, up to 12Gbyte RAM and dual 10/100/1000 copper Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and Software RAID or Hardware RAID.

Data protection is ensured with a hardware RAID 6 controller, and all four disk drives are cold- swappable from the front of the unit.

The StorBank-XL 40t (tower) RAID NAS comes with the standard CD ROM and floppy disk drives, eliminating the hassle of trying to hook up an external CD ROM or floppy to the NAS server every time a new piece of software needs to be installed, as is the case with many other NAS appliances currently on the market.

Easy installation and setup ensures that the StorBank-XL 40t RAID NAS is up and running in about 15 minutes after it is unpacked from the box.

The StorBank-XL 40t comes with a 3.0GHz Pentium D Dual-Core Processor (800MHz FSB) and provides up to 4Gbyte System Memory (1Gbyte Standard).

It provides an option for both Cold Swappable and Hot Swappable Power Supply (450 watt).

Further, it has support for software RAID and has the option to upgrade to hardware RAID.

It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10.

The StorBank-XL software is easy to manage and deploy and makes remote management of the storage device effortless and convenient.

It can be easily managed from anywhere in the network by using a web-browser.

By supporting NAS and iSCSI, StorBank-XL enables multiple users to share the same storage space simultaneously, and minimise overhead by managing the hard disks centrally.

The StorBank-XL offers excellent price-to-performance ratio, enhanced manageability, and increased productivity.

Further, it provides heterogeneous environment support, which includes support for NFS, CIFS and Apple File Systems.

The point-in-time snapshot feature of the StorBank-XL ensures that restoration of data is made simple and convenient.

The StorBank-XL Storage System also integrates agents for common backup software packages including Veritas and EMC Dantz and CA BrightStor.

Block-based replication is also available between two StorBank-XL units, simplifying the setup of Disaster Recovery sites.

Units can also be mirrored to create online backup copies of data.
