5 Why Step Up to an IP SAN? Remove storage from individual application and file servers −Higher performance Multiple drives are used in parallel −More reliable RAID disks, hot spares, background data scrubbing, redundant power & fans −Flexible storage Allocate only what is needed to each server Add capacity to iSCSI appliance Expand capacity for servers while they are up and running Why iSCSI vs. Fibre Channel −Less complex and less expensive −Growing at 70%-80% CAGR IP SAN Corporate LAN

6 Snap Server 700i - Flexible and Scalable Scalable −Up to 36TB of storage −SAS and/or SATA drives −Up to 4 GigE ports Linux, VMware, Windows −Hardware iSCSI HBAs −Software iSCSI initiators Diskless boot from SAN −Via HW iSCSI HBA −Via emBoot software

7 Snap Server 700i - Easy to Set Up & Manage Easy, wizard-based management Unique: Automated volume provisioning −Saves administrator time Adheres to Windows VDS Provider specification −Administer 700i series from any SAN management tool Adaptec Storage Manager Host-side Target-side

8 Snap Server 700i – Hardware Reliability Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans Leverages Adaptec RAID Controller Hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 w/ Hot Spares RAID controller cache is battery backed up for 72 hours UPS can signal the 700i for graceful shutdown SNMP and alerts keep administrator informed

9 Snap Server 700i – High Availability for Windows For mission-critical Exchange or SQL Server applications 1.Supports Microsoft Clusters 2.Windows MPIO Driver provides multiple paths to 700i series 3.Synchronous Mirroring between 700i series 4.Mirror only chosen LUNs, not the whole 700i Synchronous Mirroring with Seamless Host Failover Microsoft Cluster Exchange or SQL Server

10 Snap Server 700i - Snapshots Schedule or on demand via Adaptec Storage Manager Typically occur several times per day Retain up to 256 snapshots Provides fast recovery points Archive with any backup software Unique: Simultaneous snapshots of multiple related volumes on separate 700i series On-demand Windows VSS snapshots −Such as backup software requests
