High-speed SAN with Powerful Scalability

Seeing 8G FC as the common protocol in future enterprise SAN, Caen furnishes all its Comet G6 Fibre-to-SAS/SATA models with four 8G FC host ports on each controller for flexible connectivity. When data grow out of the capacity threshold of a single subsystem, you can scale it up to an installation housing more than one hundred drives through expansion enclosures (RSS16S-002 for RSS16F8-002 and RSS16S-001 for RSS16F8-001). Powered by the new-generation RAID engine as its heart, the G6 Fibre-to-SAS/SATA Series can deliver outstanding performance to process the large amount of data. The no-delay, smooth operations it enables can satisfactorily meet the service levels your business requires. Coupled with the broad support for enterprise-level OS and server virtualization, it can serve as data storage for top-tier applications.

Robust Availability and Reliability

The Comet G6 Series is based on High Availability (HA) modular design. All main hardware modules, including controllers, power supplies, and cooling fans, come in redundant pairs to achieve high fault-tolerant capability. The G6 Series also provides comprehensive RAID functions to protect data against drive failure. When one or two drive fail(s), you can still enjoy continuous accessibility to the data of full integrity while the hot spare is used to restore the data volume back to its RAID-protected state. To better safeguard cached data, the G6 arrays also come with new CacheSafe technology. In the event of an unscheduled power outage, the BBU will automatically supply power to write cached data into flash module for permanent retention, which eliminates the common 72-hour battery power limitation that can cause data loss.

Easy Management

Through the feature-rich management suite, SANWatch, users can centrally manage multiple Comet G6 subsystems locally or remotely over the LAN/WAN. In the portal window, an overview of all subsystems is displayed to provide status summary and event info. With only a few clicks, you can easily access the functions necessary to configure, manage, and monitor the arrays. Besides providing all firmware features through a user-friendly GUI, SANWatch also supports script-based configuration of multiple subsystems at a time. When critical events happen, the system would automatically notify you through various configurable methods for proactive handling. With SANWatch, initializing Comet G6 arrays for applications and monitoring their real-time status changes are all easy to realize.

Green Technologies

Aware of the important role green IT plays in environmental sustainability, Caen equips all its Comet G6 models with advanced power-saving designs. Coming with power supplies delivering more than 80% energy efficiency, dynamic cooling mechanism and intelligent multi-level drive spin-down technology, the Comet G6 achieves outstanding energy efficiency. While benefiting the environment, the green initiative Infortrend takes also enhances business advantages with cut-down energy expenses.

Caen Engineering's next-generation 8Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) storage system is an industrial pioneer designed to support reliable and easy-to-manage SAN for performance-demanding applications. Featuring outstanding throughput, robust availability and advanced technology, it helps users meet harsh data center demands in the most cost-effective way.

Downtime can have serious consequences for enterprises and SMB's. The challenge for SMB's is to pro-actively prevent downtime within a limited budget. With toda's price points in mind, the Comet DS storage solutions provide comprehensive data protection to ensure the highest data availability for the storage area network (SAN) and direct attached storage (DAS). Coupled with advanced hardware design, modular architecture, easy and intuitive management and exceptional price performance, Comet DS brings price-consious companies a decisive competetive edge by making IT efficiency keep up with growing storage needs.

HIGH AVAILABILTY SAN DELIVERS GREAT PRICE-PERFORMANCE

Data availability is critical to any business operation. Caen’s Comet DS storage solution features high-availability hardware designs with redundant, hot-swappable hardware components, such as RAID controllers, power supplies and cooling fans, to eliminate single point of failure. Hardware RAID protection ensures data accessibility during drive failure. In the event of a power outage, CacheSafe technology will automatically leverage power of the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) to safeguard cached data by writing it to the flash module for permanent retention. To protect valuable data sets against more critical threats, Comet DS also supports local and remote replication capabilities. Data availability can be achieved with minimal downtime in case of human errors or data volume failure by employing the Comet DS replication features. The Comet DS storage solution delivers breakthrough performance for demanding business applications.

FLEXIBLE SCALABILITY

The Comet DS storage solution supports dynamic scaling to aid in the planning for future storage growth. Flexible drive capacity support satisfies current applications and enables you to accommodate future needs. The Comet DS storage solution can be expanded to more than two hundred drives to meet the proliferation of storage growth. The "scale as you grow" flexibility of the Comet DS storage solution minimizes upfront investments and provides the best overall Total Cost of Acquisition (TCA).

INTUITIVE AND EASY MANAGEMENT

Storage management should be simple. The Comet DS storage solution includes a comprehensive management software suite, SANWatch, to centrally manage multiple Comet DS subsystems over a standard TCP/IP network. Comet DS status and event information summary can be viewed on the portal window. Necessary functions to configure, manage and monitor the Comet DS are only a few clicks away. Besides providing all firmware features through a user-friendly GUI, SANWatch also supports script-based configuration of multiple Comet DS subsystems simultaneously. Automatic critical event notifications can be customized to suit the most critical storage environment. SANWatch will guide users through initializing, configuring and maintaining the Comet DS every step of the way. 

HIGH DENSITY DESIGN

Featuring a 4U/48-bay form factor, the Comet DS DSS48F8i-001/002 systems offer extremely large storage capacities ideal for applications such as high performance computing (HPC) and data archiving. The high density of the systems reduces the required amount of floor space and lowers power consumption. Combined with competitive prices, the high density delivers excellent cost efficiency. The user-friendly system design features three separate drawers accommodating 16 disk drives each, enabling users to quickly identify disk drives and easily maintain the system.
