Advanced Features

Advanced Snapshot Technology 

AMI’s Advanced Snapshot technology 

enables up to 2,048 snapshots (R/O and 

R/W) at the block or file level. It also allows 

for rapid creation and deletion of a snapshot, 

permitting faster, more secure back-ups 

than ever before. Advanced Snapshot 

technology is focused on performance, 

enabling customers to mount, review and 

instantaneously roll back to a snapshot with 

near-zero degradation

 of data.

Snapshot-assisted Replication

This technology allows chronological 

replication of snapshots on a remote 

machine, with the ability to organize by 

application-based consistency groups. 

In fail-over to a secondary appliance, 

StorTrends iTX will automatically rollback to 

the latest consistent snapshot.

WAN Optimization Data Services (WDS)

StorTrends utilizes several sophisticated 

techniques to optimize the speed of long 

distance WAN connections.  It uses an 

intelligent mix of standards-based transport 

protocols to overcome the inefficiencies 

and high latencies of TCP protocols in WANs 

and provide excellent bandwidth utilization. 

Additional performance gains are made 

through data reduction technologies such as 

compression and data deduplication.
