SAN Virtualization

Storage Virtualization Meets the Price-Performance of Ethernet SAN

Coraid's EtherDrive VSX-Series is the first storage virtualization solution to combine the price-performance and simplicity of Ethernet SAN with features such as logical volume management (LVM), snapshots, cloning, mirroring and remote replication.

The Coraid EtherDrive VSX is a core component of the Coraid EtherDrive Ethernet SAN solution.  The EtherDrive VSX is deployed in conjunction with a cluster of EtherDrive SRX arrays to build an Ethernet SAN Solution.

EtherDrive VSX Product Highlights:

  • Asynchronous Replication:  Coraid’s TCP Shadow™ functionality enables snapshots to be copied over the WAN for disaster recovery and other purposes, with no latency impact to the production systems.  VSX tracks all metadata and buffers WAN latency.
  • Logical Volume Management: VSX virtualizes physical storage resources, enabling users to build and resize flexible virtual volumes that span multiple storage shelves.  
  • Mirroring:  VSX supports no-single-point-of-failure (NSPOF) configurations where data can be synchronously replicated to two separate storage arrays
  • Snapshots: VSX delivers block-level data snapshots, enabling rollback of computing environments in case of IT disruptions.
  • Snapshot Scheduling: A feature that extends the VSX snapshot capability by allowing the automated scheduling of snaphsots.  This is useful for backup applications or in conjunction with TCP Shadow to provide a fully automate replication and data protection capability.
  • Clones:  These “writeable snapshots” provide the ultimate in flexibility for copying and branching existing application environments.  Clones are popular in test/dev environments where multiple experimental versions are required
  • Direct Response: This feature improves performance and reduces latency to access logical volumes.  Requests come into the VSX and are redirected to the appropriate SRX storage appliance that hosts the data.  Rather than respond to the VSX, the SRX appliance now responds back directly to the host initiator.
