StoneFly StoneFusion features:

 

StoneFusion : Volume Management >>>
StoneFusion's virtualization engine centralizes volume creation, storage provisioning, and host access in an intuitive GUI. Physical devices are separated from logical devices giving administrators to classify resources into tiers, to design a flexible storage infrastructure that supports multiple types of applications and host systems. Physical devices are pooled and carved into multiple iSCSI volumes to manage availability, performance and reliability. With our flexible management interface, managing storage resources has never been easier.

 

 

StoneFusion : Clustering >>>
StoneFly's active/active failover clustering technology enables Storage Concentrators to be deployed in mission critical environments. With seamless field-tested failover technology and load-balancing, Storage Concentrator Clusters increase availability and performance cost effectively, serving as the backbone of a SAN with no single point of failure.

 

 

StoneFusion: Snapshots >>>
StoneFly Snapshot is designed to offer quick, efficient point in time replicas of IP SAN volumes for data recovery, testing, business continuity and more. Each snapshot is virtual, temporary, and perishable point-in-time images of an active live volume. The snapshots are easily mounted by any host machine, for use as a standard volume, but any read or write operations do not impact the primary volume. With small storage requirements and nearly instantaneous creation, snapshots are an integral part ofStoneFly's advanced IP SANs and storage management.

 

 

Stonefly Reflection >>>
StoneFly StoneFusion Reflection™ synchronous mirroring solution is designed for IT professionals managing environments where business operations would suffer a severe financial blow if critical data were lost or offline for even a moderate period of time.

StoneFly StoneFusion Reflection provides continuous access to a volume without interruption to data availability by substituting an exact mirror image, simplifying disaster recovery and reducing system downtime.

StoneFly StoneFusion Reflection synchronous mirroring simplifies deployment, operating transparently to users, applications, databases, and host processors. The result is “Next Generation” performance, reliability and high data availability for critical applications.

StoneFusion Operating System Version 5.0

Intuitive Manangement Platform for IP SANs and Beyond

 

Product Description

The award-winning StoneFusion® Network Storage Platform (NSP), StoneFly's patented storage networking operating system architecture, brings in block level storage intelligence to the IP network core, StoneFly's IP SANs deliver all the benefits of managed SANs: increased storage utilization through resource consolidation, storage provisioning, centralized access control, volume management, and advanced storage services including Active/Active clustering, mirroring, replication, encryption, snapshots, and Thin Provisioning. At its core, StoneFusion virtualizes physical storage resources into virtual volumes and enables advanced storage functions in a virtual network layer. StoneFusion is the foundation of all StoneFly IP SAN product lines. With StoneFly the power of IP SANs is at your fingertips.
