34.0 KBOpen-E Releases Open-E Data Storage Server for Unified IP-Storage
All-in-one IP-storage software combining NAS and IP-SAN in one single application
PUCHHEIM, Germany – October 26, 2006 – Open-E today announced a turnkey IP-storage operating system that supports both iSCSI Storage Area Networks (IP-SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) simultaneously. The Open-E Data Storage Server (DSS) turns standard server components into unified networked storage appliances for both NAS and IP-SAN.
Open-E DSS is Open-E´s fourth generation of field-proven storage software and incorporates all expertise of the Open-E NAS-XSR Enterprise and Open-E iSCSI Enterprise in one internal USB-DOM (Disk-On-Module). “Open-E DSS is a major step for our solution providers and OEM customers to offer IP-storage systems, which are highly competitive in a market dominated by companies like EMC and NetApp,” said Krzysztof Franek, Open-E´s President. “Open-E DSS not only offers unified IP Storage, but many new features which improves the data security, scalability, stability and manageability of the Open-E storage systems. We have integrated new and improved backup and recovery applications for proactive and simple protection of the stored information, like iSCSI Volume Replication, Task Mechanism, Backup Utilities and support for Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL) to virtualize storage as tape hardware for backup-to-disk in existing archiving policies.”
Other integrated features of Open-E DSS include:
The retail price of Open-E’s Data Storage Server is 995,-- Euro (excl. VAT) and available now through Open-E’s network of authorized distributors and resellers. Qualified Value Added Resellers and Systems Integrators interested in learning how to add Open-E DSS to their line up can contact Open-E Sales at +49 (89) 800777-20.

Other integrated features of Open-E DSS include:
- Support for Tape Libraries and Autoloaders
- Support for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controllers of Adaptec and LSI Logic for easily expanding the storage capacity of the Open-E storage system with SAS devices. The flexibility of Open-E DSS and SAS enable the creation of dedicated storage application like NAS and SATA drives for file serving and iSCSI and SCSI drives for critical data applications in one device!
- Logical Volumes up to 16TB, allowing the creation of large storage pools while simplifying storage management. With extra licenses the storage capacity of one Open-E DSS server can be extended to almost unlimited capacities!
- New Graphical Interface (GUI) for better management of the storage device and the backup of processes for securing the valuable data.
- VMWare ESX Server 3.0 iSCSI initiator support. Now organizations using VMWare for virtualized servers can add IP based virtualized storage based on Open-E technology.
The retail price of Open-E’s Data Storage Server is 995,-- Euro (excl. VAT) and available now through Open-E’s network of authorized distributors and resellers.
