Products and Services
Magnitude Storage Solution
Magnitude has become the storage solution of choice for large corporations,
with thousands of units deployed across diverse industries. Only the Magnitude
storage solution is designed to:
- Eliminate Planned Downtime
- Eliminate Storage Complexity
- Simplify Server Management
Technology leaders including Microsoft, Oracle, and Novell leverage the
power of the Magnitude solution to develop and deploy their market-leading
products. Magnitude is the fastest growing storage solution in the industry.
It accelerates many server management tasks, while alleviating much of the
planned downtime associated with server management.
- Eliminates Planned Downtime: Magnitude is the only storage solution
that eliminates planned downtime. It can be configured, reconfigured,
updated, and managed on the fly, enabling dynamic, disruption-free response
to changing business and computing needs.
- Eliminates Storage Complexity: Magnitude is the only storage solution
that abstracts storage complexity, dramatically reducing operating and
installation costs. Ease of use results in the lowest storage total
cost of ownership (TCO) in the industry. As storage needs expand, the
Magnitude solution ensures that management costs don't.
- Simplifies Server Management: Magnitude is the only storage solution
to simplify server management, delivering unmatched flexibility for
server upgrades and changes. It is the industry's only storage solution
that requires no proprietary software to integrate storage with servers
and operating systems (OSs).
Magnitude 3D: Enterprise Clustering Meets Simple SAN Management
 Magnitude
3D realizes the proven benefits of clustering within an agile storage
infrastructure, enabling customers to respond quickly and transparently
to business changes. Better still, Magnitude 3D delivers the simplest
storage area network ( SAN ) deployment and management capabilities available
today. In a recent validation test by Enterprise Storage Group (ESG) Lab,
Magnitude 3D demonstrated its simplicity, combined with industry-leading
scale and resilience.
Magnitude 3D is also the first and only storage solution with Zero Server
Footprint, featuring transparent, automatic, cluster-wide failover with
no host software. Zero Server Footprint eliminates the complexity and
downtime associated with server-side software maintenance and upgrades.
It also increases management flexibility, thanks to true server and storage
infrastructure independence. Simple and dynamic nature significantly lowers
total cost of ownership for storage:
- As storage needs evolve, Magnitude 3D is managed by existing IT staff,
and is scaled with zero downtime upgrades.
- Customers have demonstrated capacity scale of nearly 1000 percent,
with no additional administrative headcount.
- Customers have reduced server and application management costs by
up to 70 percent, thanks to dynamic provisioning and simplified management.
Magnitude 3D is the appropriate solution for organizations seeking to
simplify storage
management while investing in an enterprise architecture that delivers
seamless scale and
unmatched resilience for critical business applications.
Magnitude 3D Edge: Simplicity at Edge
Magnitude 3D's Edge solution is specifically designed to meet the needs
of departments or small businesses. This entry-level SAN solution raises
the bar on storage networking by providing simple, affordable storage
that can easily scale to a full enterprise-class solution as business
needs expand and evolve.
Magnitude 3D Edge Benefits
- Up to 10x reduction in TCO
- 200% increase in personnel efficiency
- 300% increase in management productivity
- 400% greater capacity with zero downtime scalability
Magnitude 3D is also the first and only storage solution with Zero Server
FootprintTM, featuring transparent, automatic, cluster-wide failover with
no host software. Zero Server Footprint eliminates the complexity and
downtime associated with server-side software maintenance and upgrades.
It also increases management flexibility, thanks to true server and storage
infrastructure independence. Its simple and dynamic nature significantly
lowers total cost of ownership for storage:
Key advantages include:
- Simple, dynamic SAN management
- Enhanced SAN resilience and scale
Magnitude 3D Edge delivers the ideal entry-level solution for storage
area networking. Its dynamic simplicity enables any IT administrator to
effectively deploy, manage, and scale storage. Magnitude 3D's clustered
storage architecture delivers zero downtime scale and unmatched resilience
to meet the needs of a growing business. Clearly, Magnitude 3D is the
choice for organizations seeking to blend simple storage management with
a clear growth path for the future.
