Netweb Launches FS2 Series Of InfiniBand Storage Solns

Netweb Technologies, a server, storage and HPC solutions provider has announced FS2, a flexible storage solution, which the company expects will revolutionise the traditional SAN and NAS market.

FS2 unifies the NAS and SAN in one box. Its additional strength is its I/O unification, starting from gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet to Fibre Channel to (10/20/40Gb/s) InfiniBand, in combination, or all. FS2 provides scalability from a few TB to 576TB and offers transfer speeds up to 2GB/s when used with InfiniBand, while maintaining compatibility with Fibre-channel, to support legacy infrastructure.

“These are troubling times, and in such times we require products and solutions to meet customer demands in such a way that the product does multiple things, offers multiple configurations, gives performance, and above all, should not hurt the pocket. We have designed this product taking into consideration all these parameters,” said Sanjay Lodha, CEO of Netweb Technologies. “We have to thank our R&D team and our partners in technology like Mellanox Technologies, a player in interconnect solutions, for their continuous involvement in development of FS2.”

Wayne Augsburger, vice president of business development at Mellanox Technologies, said, “The 40Gb/s InfiniBand-based FS2 from NetWeb can reduce power consumption and lower total cost of ownership for data centres while providing real-world customer advantages such as increased application performance, reduced back-up times, and greater system consolidation.”
