Ethernet Storage Area Networks (SANs)
More Storage for your Servers, not more Servers for your Storage!
Every systems administrator hears this refrain - more storage, more servers. You're being told the solution to this is a storage area network. But your company already has networks. Why do you want yet another different one? Wouldn’t you rather use what you already have for this purpose?
With InterProphet, you can.
No new protocols, no new standards, no new things to learn. Why can't they just make what I manage already just go fast?
With InterProphet, you can!
The Best Storage Network is your LAN!
You already have the best way of sharing storage in your enterprise - your LAN. What if the best storage area network (SAN) could be built from your LAN instead? Then all your LAN investments could work for you instead of needing new ones to get more storage bandwidth.
InterProphet can provide you this with its EtherSANTM storage line. The RAIDBlasterTM Thin Server provides scalable bandwidth between a RAID array and the Ethernet storage channel. Existing off the shelf Ethernet switches can be used with EtherSAN, the most highest performance and price competitive switching products in the world.
All
existing Ethernet products, including ordinary Ethernet NICs or
server NICs can be used, using existing applications that use
PC/Internet network file access. But for full wire speed,
InterProphet's EtherSANTM ESA
storage adapter card
can be used for maximum server benefit – as much as you
need.
Just Make the Internet as Fast as Disks!
Only InterProphet can do this, because only InterProphet can make ordinary Internet networking software just work as fast as the hardware can send data - by using our exclusive Silicon TCPTM. Silicon TCP works by processing packets as they travel onto the wire and off the wire. This makes the Internet's core TCP protocol work at "wire speed"! The faster the wire, the faster Silicon TCP works. Now the Internet can work at disk speed!
InterProphet - the Ethernet Storage Area Network Company
Only InterProphet can deliver EtherSANTM products that make your servers perform without adding to your support cost. With entry level pricing as low as $15,000 that deliver the same performance of high-end $60,000 servers, scaling up to four times the performance for a $72,000 RAIDBlaster. Lower than 30% of the total cost of ownership of new and untried non-Ethernet technologies. A drop in solution for transparent system-wide improvement.
