SYRED Launches CloudStorTM
The world's first innovative AllBandTM, Storage Network Management Software that functions in either Inband or Out-of-Band modes while delivering Any-To-Any-Anywhere Virtualization.
Las Vegas †Gartner Planet Storage 2002 â€" June 10, 2002 â€" Syred Inc, a recognized leader in innovative and high performance Storage Area Network (SAN) and Storage Area Management (SAM) solutions announced today the launch of CloudStorTM. CloudStorTM is the worldâ€s first AllBandTM Storage Network Management software that effectively raises the bar for the industry. Syred, known for its technology breakthroughs, has achieved this new operation level by repositioning SAN management methodology.
Currently, the SAN appliance can be implemented in either an Inband or Out-Of-Band mode, both having advantages and disadvantages. However, both solutions are relatively incompatible in term of process and technology. Syred has changed this equation with CloudStor and its breakthrough AllBand technology that operates in both modes while using the exact same firmware.
Indeed, to avoid operational disruption, CloudStor can be implemented Out-Of-Band and eventually migrated to Inband without requiring any modifications to the software or configuration. This feature offers significant value to customers as it avoids disruption of the data workflow for installing Storage Management resources. By simply attaching the SAN appliance to the switch, CloudStor seamlessly takes control of all attached storage devices, without requiring the installation of additional device drivers on participating Servers or Storage systems.
CloudStor also redefines the volume virtualization process. Competing products necessitate many disruptive, time consuming, arduous and costly steps †such as the complete backup of data prior to the creation of the virtualized volumes, and the restoring of data in the newly created volumes. Syredâ€s approach is both straight forward and efficient by: implementing dynamic volume virtualization on the fly, mitigating the backup/restore phenomenon thereby providing the only completely non-disruptive implementation.
Abe Danziger, Syredâ€s President and COO stated “Companies today are confronted with a diverse mix of technologies that has complicated storage management. CloudStor delivers ease of use without compromising on the advanced features that you need. We call this Any-To-Any-Anywhere”. CloudStor provides on-demand incremental virtualization that result in enhanced flexibility and overall ease of use, while being totally agnostic to the volume technologies. Existing non-virtualized volumes and processes will continue to function normally, while virtualized volumes are dynamically added. This capability allows users to define which volume to virtualize and when. For users apprehensive about introducing emerging technologies into their enterprise, this feature is significant inasmuch as they can dynamically create a virtualized mirror of the current volume and monitor the results. Then, at the appropriate selected time and comfort zone, the user can implement virtualization by dynamically switching to the virtualized volume.
Simon Fridmann Syredâ€s CEO stated “Partners were impressed after successfully testing CloudStorâ€s innovative features, performance and ease of use”. Mr. Fridmann further concluded “Syredâ€s future definitely looks very bright and full of potential”.
