Redwood City, California, September 3, 2007 – Open-E today released its storage operating system Data Storage Server (DSS) with major improvements. The highlight of the new version 1.30: Optimized block-I/O, speeds up iSCSI-connections by 30 percent.
But not only iSCSI users benefit from the new version, also high-end Fibre-Channel-systems receive a performance-boost. The brand new DSS-version supports 4 GBit Initiators and Targets from QLogic. Customers can benefit from DSS providing the ability to use Multipath-I/O in Initiator-Mode and modify the blocksize of FC-Target-volumes to tune up performance.
Security-Update
Another new features is synchronous replication for NAS- und Fibre-Channel-volumes, in predecessor-versions only iSCSI had this feature. Furthermore, the developers at Open-E improved support for trusted domains. The advanced notification-system is now clearly arranged in categories (Error, Warning and Info).
Top-Support for new Intel-Storage-Server
With the 1.30 update, Open-E certifies support for Intel’s new storage-platform SSR212MC2 with pinpoint harddisk-monitoring and support for the battery backup unit of the original Intel RAID controller SRCSAS144E.
»We worked hard on the update for Open-E Data Storage Server and we are pleased that version 1.30 offers advancements for all our customers«, says Krzysztof Franek, CEO and President of Open-E GmbH. »The update improves all of our systems, regardless if iSCSI, Fibre Channel or NAS systems are in use«.
Background
Open-E delivers its storage software preconfigured on a small flash module that only has to be plugged into a usb-connector on the mainboard (disk on module). After booting the USB DOM, a comfortable web-interface for configuration is ready for use. Marathon-installations, Kernel conflicts and driver problems are avoided by design.
Prices and Availibility
The USB-module with preinstalled storage-operating-system is available through distributors. Open-E DSS costs 1,250 $ for end customers (exclude sales tax.). Registered customers can receive the update (www.open-e.com/update) for free. A full-featured test-version (30 days) is available as ISO-image at www.open-e.com/demo-cd.
