LeftHand Networks Virtual SAN Appliance (VSA) converts storage internal to VI3 servers into a full-featured, clustered iSCSI SAN

Features

SAN Storage - A Virtual SAN Appliance (VSA) is ideal for customers who are looking to realize the benefits of advanced server virtualization in data centers and remote offices where physical SAN deployment is inhibited by space and/or budget constraints. Powered by SAN/iQ, LeftHand's storage software platform, a Virtual SAN Appliance for VMware(r) ESX Server converts storage internal to VI3 servers into a clustered iSCSI SAN, providing all of the SAN services necessary for storage provisioning, data protection, data replication, management and availability in demanding datacenter environments.

LeftHand's SAN/iQ Demo and Evaluation Editions enable full featured use of SAN/iQ in a Virtual SAN Appliance (VSA). Experience firsthand the wide range of enterprise-class features such as space-efficient snapshots, thin provisioning, synchronous and asynchronous replication, automatic failover and failback, and management through a single pane of glass. All features are enabled for a 30-day trial period. After the trial period has ended, you can continue to use the tool as a virtual iSCSI target without the advanced features. To purchase an iSCSI SAN based on SAN/iQ from LeftHand contact us at 1-866-4IPSANS.
