What Is the DataDirect Networks SAN Solution?
A typical DataDirect Networks storage system SAN solution includes:
•
DataDirect Networks RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) sub-systems.
They are connected to servers using Fibre Channel or iSCSI Host Bus Adapters
(HBAs). The RAID provides high availability and high performance data access.
•
DataDirect Networks RAID storage processors are used to control the operation of the
RAIDs.
•
System administrators configure and manage the DataDirect Networks SAN Solution
either locally or through the network.
•
DataDirect Networks SAN Solutions: Fibre Channel backends and SATA backends.
Java-Based Graphical User Interface
The DataDirect Networks SAN Manager is a browser-based Graphical User Interface
(GUI). It provides an easy way to manage DataDirect Networks RAID storage systems on
a network. With simple point-and-click selections, a system administrator can configure,
maintain, and monitor DataDirect Networks devices, without having to use a terminal
command-line interface.
The DataDirect Networks SAN Manager is a central storage management utility software
that provides storage system administrators with powerful and easy-to-use storage
management capability. The DataDirect Networks SAN Manager performs Fibre channel
device discovery, offers a graphical topology map, and enables the IT administrator to
monitor, dynamically configure, and manage a network of DataDirect Networks storage
systems.
