iSCSI Storage Server delivers an advanced Storage Pooling functionality that aggregates disk capacity and provisions disk via iSCSI to application hosts, including Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server and Oracle, without downtime. As a result, iSCSI Storage Server reduces operating costs by eliminating the need to purchase new servers and significantly simplifies storage management tasks.
iSCSI Storage Server also offers a unique, Snapshot Service that provides thirty-two (32) delta-based, point-in-time (PiT) recovery points and safeguards against soft-errors such as accidental deletions, file corruptions, and virus attacks. In addition to increasing backup frequency, and reducing the risk window, file-level recoveries can be performed quickly and efficiently without the need to restore from tape. In addition, the iSCSI Storage Server allows users or applications to request fast, space-efficient delta snapshots via Microsoft’s Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) interface, and performs policy-based, automatic delta snapshots of application hosts to significantly reduce potential data loss and ensure business continuity.
