"At NASA, CORAID’s EtherDrive appliance is used in a
disk-to-disk application for periodic data backup and emergency retrieval.
Recovering data is now as simple as retrieving the disk and inserting it in
another CORAID appliance or any Linux server. This feature enables us to access
critical data in a standard format. I am so pleased with the CORAID strategy I
plan to add additional SATA+RAID EtherDrive Storage appliances to our programs."

“EtherDrive storage provides excellent service and
reliability for our airborne laser ranging system data."

"What a concept…instead of buying expensive servers, CORAID has shown us how to attach disks to our existing servers for storage.
Adding inexpensive SATA disks via EtherDrive Storage allows our servers to
be sized to meet their application load, not by the amount of storage capacity
they can hold."

We started using one CORAID unit a few months ago, and using LVM and XFS recently expanded it with another unit. Everything worked beautifully.

I just wanted to say that I think your product is the best thing since sliced bread.
I can't believe more people don't know about this. Keep up the great work, and thanks for making my life a whole lot nicer.

AoE Driver
• An AoE protocol driver in the host operating system provides the initiator function for the host to access storage connected to an Ethernet port. • The AoE driver bridges the operating systems block device driver interface to the hosts Ethernet driver. This allows the host to use a standard Ethernet NIC. • AoE target devices (ie. EtherDrive disk storage appliances) connect via standard Ethernet. • AoE can work with any OS. An AoE driver is included in the Linux 2.6.11+ kernels and available for other operating systems including Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, MacOS X and Windows. • AoE target devices are just like local disks. They can be used like a normal hard disk drive, but since they are network connected, the disk can be shared with any network connected host. • AoE target devices can be partitioned like a normal disk and supports any filesystem like a normal disk.
