Data sheet

The StorTrends

®

 2200n is an affordable 2U, high-density rack-mount 

Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliance, perfect for workgroups or 
departments. It provides a reliable way to manage and store valuable business 
data without complexity. Easy to install, the StorTrends 2200n enables an 
administrator to coordinate all functions relating to discovery, management, 
tracking and planning for future storage growth.    

 

The StorTrends 2200n is a 

flexible hardware platform that 
can be coupled with StorTrends 
iTX software for use as a dedicated 
network storage appliance (NAS). 
Built to support Intel® Dual-Core CPU 
technologies, the StorTrends 2200n 
offers performance and flexibility.

The StorTrends® 2200n NAS 

appliance is an ideal alternative to 
traditional Direct Attached Storage 
(DAS) environments. StorTrends 
NAS appliances make it simple to 
centralize file data storage from 
Windows®, UNIX, Linux and Mac® 
clients across an existing Ethernet 
network. 

The StorTrends 2200n offers 

maximum data protection with RAID 
levels 5 & 6 and network connectivity 
to major operating systems, perfect 
for workgroups or departmental 
storage that are experiencing rapid 
data growth.

Administrators can save time 

and money by deploying StorTrends 
2200n NAS appliances instead of 
inflexible DAS units. Adding capacity 
in a DAS environment means 
adding a server, which requires 
downtime. Adding capacity with 
AMI’s StorTrends 2200n means 
no downtime for users, and can 
be implemented for both quick,

additional and long-term storage, 
as well as improved disk utilization 
when compared to DAS.

The StorTrends 2200n offers 

twelve hot-swappable drive bays 
with SATA support, and network 
teaming support that ensures load 
balancing across the dual Ethernet 
ports. UPS support enables the 
automatic switching of the RAID 
cache mode to write-through in the 
event of a power loss.

Data security is enhanced by the 

advanced snapshot capabilities of the 
StorTrends 2200n. The administrator 
has the power to rollback, review, and 
mount data snapshots to recover lost 
data quickly and with precision, just 
moments after a catastrophe.

Management of StorTrends 

appliances can be done using 
the integrated web-based 
ManageTrends™ GUI, AMI’s storage 
management software. Users 
managing more than one StorTrends 
appliance can use ManageTrends 
to discover and manage appliances 
across the network. Manage Trends 
also provides event 
management, a detailed 
analysis of enterprise-wide 
storage usage, and  storage 
server availability reporting.
