The AssuredT architecture enables organizations to manage combinations of block storage (fibre channel or iSCSI) and file storage (NAS systems with CIFS or NFS) via a common set of data management features, such as snapshots, thin provisioning, tiered provisioning, replication, synchronous mirroring, and data migration, all from a single user interface.
Dot Hill’s AssuredUVS seeks to transform the storage environment into a single, unified asset that improves storage efficiencies. It is designed to complement the server virtualization movement by improving data migration and provisioning for managing diverse brands of storage and a platform for leveraging utility and cloud storage resources.
The AssuredUVS, previously known as iSN, is based on technology acquired from Cloverleaf Communications. AssuredUVS Standard, with 50 TB initial licensed capacity, is designed to virtualize storage for SMBs, and it easily scales to a maximum of 250 TB. The Datacenter edition employs a scale-out model for higher performance and capacities up to 6 PB. These appliance products will be available through selected Dot Hill authorized resellers.
