SGI InfiniteStorage Appliance Manager:

The Web-based graphical user interface (GUI) software management tool simplifies NAS configuration discovery and set-up with intuitive views of performance, alerts, and disk utilization, as well as diagnosis features. Users can monitor network, disk, CPU and memory usage per protocol workload, per export/share workload, or per client workload. Historical graphs facilitate proactive decision making. The alerts screen displays messages from system logs to provide notifications of unusual events and error conditions.

Key Value Propositions:

SGI’s InfiniteStorage Solutions are synergistic and provides unique capabilities unmatched in the marketplace today. SGI® InfiniteStorage Solutions are designed to solve the data protection problems unique to IT, Engineering, Scientific, and Creative customers engaged in large-scale computing, analysis, business analytics and visualization environments.

Fibre Disk

Fibre channel disk solutions are ideal for environments that require high-performance, low-latency storage for applications.

IP SAN

IP SAN delivers the advantages of a SAN without requiring expensive FC hardware, and the expense of building a new network. iSCSI and TCP/IP networking & storage devices are already present in many small- to medium-sized businesses.

iSCSI

iSCSI storage utilizes standard ethernet architecture, allowing it to operate on any TCP/IP network. Combined with Gigabit Ethernet technology, iSCSI performance can approach that of FC devices & networks.

Midrange RAIDs

Our offering of storage products include modular, cost- effective, and scalar midrange RAIDs. We offer Fibre Channel, SATA, and now SAS disk, and some devices can mix-and- match disks in the same RAID.

NAS

Network attached storage allows Windows, UNIX, and Linux filesystems & backups to be consolidated on a single platform, freeing application servers to run production application, rather than competing for resources with file storage & management tasks. Ideal for disk-to-disk backup, nearline storage, data retention, as well as high-performance, misson- critical I/O applications.

Optical

The newest optical storage systems leverage UDO media for data archival & retention requirements, providing data integrity for regulatory compliance.

SAN

EFN Enterprises offers virtualization technologies such as Storage Area Networks, and we continue to offer SAN solutions designed to reduce complexity & costs, effectively dealing with the explosion of data storage requirements many organizations face today.

SAS Disk

Serial-attached SCSI is interoperable with SATA, and delivers performance, capacity, and scalability comparable to Fibre. Ideal for high-density computing environments, as SAS cables are thinner than traditional parallel cables.

SATA

Serial ATA, or SATA, is a high-capacity disk storage option enables disk-to-disk backup & other nearline storage applications to be implemented cost-effectively.

Tape

Reliable, portable, and affordable, tape storage remains a viable format for many backup & archival applications. The newest models include embedded encryption & WORM technology for retention compliance needs.

Tape Products

EFN Enterprises offers SGI’s Spectra Logic Tape Products Spectra Logic T950 - Enterprise library with BlueScale technology.

SAN Infrastructure:

To provide a powerful yet flexible framework for addressing critical storage area network (SAN) requirements, Brocade has developed the Intelligent Fabric Operating Environment.

Switches

The Brocade® 300, Brocade® 5100, Brocade® 5300, Brocade® 48000, Brocade® 4900, Brocade® 5000, and Brocade® 200E switch models.

vFabric Watch

Fabric Watch is a robust fabric health monitoring service for mission-critical Storage Area Network SAN fabrics. Fabric Watch enables network managers to:

High-Performance Cost Effective HBAs

EFN offers a wide variety of SAS and FC HBA's in configurations of PCIE and PCI-X host interfaces. Offering high- performance, the low cost HBA's accommodate both SAS and SATA needs. The Fibre Channel technology constructs the storage area networks (SANs), which are available in four and eight port options with internal and external connector configurations to support any applications. EFN's 4Gb/s and 10Gb/s FC HBAs are available in single, dual and quad- channel configurations.

SGI’s InfiniteStorage Application Solutions:

High Performance Storage for Oracle Cluster Environments:

This EFN-designed custom solution combines a variety of best- of-breed products to provide a load-balanced, fault-tolerant, high-performance storage for Oracle databases.

Backup Optimization

Our backup optimization solutions help consolidate existing backup hardware & processes, providing fast backup & recovery on a platform that consolidates block- and file-level backup.

Business Continuity

Business Continuity goes beyond traditional disaster recovery and remote replication solutions by keeping critical applications & data available, to reduce or eliminate business disruption for any reason.

Continuous Data Protection

Continuous Data Protection is a new technology for disaster recovery that aims to eliminate data loss by allowing applications and databases to recovery to any-point-in-time (APIT). InMage provides superior CDP at cost-effective prices.

Disaster Recovery

Disaster Recovery, or DR, is designed to protect enterprises from primary site failures & data loss by replicating data to remote, secondary sites.

eDiscovery

Changes in the FRCP have made it necessary for businesses to be able to respond quickly and comprehensively to request for ESI for litigation. eDiscovery solutions from North American Systems allow businesses to manage and retrieve data more effectively across multiple data sources to respond to eDiscovery requests.

Storage Consolidation

Storage Consolidation helps IT organizations simplify storage infrastructure by consolidating hardware and processes to a centrally-managed platform that can provision storage resources on demand, maximizing storage utilization across multiple application servers & platforms.

Storage Migration

Our professional services team can help migrate storage to new hardware platforms and solutions with minimal disruption to systems and applications.

Virtualization

Virtualization technology removes the physical barriers between various storage resources across heterogeneous IT infrastructures. This strategy enables capabilities, performance and capacity to be enhanced, without increasing complexity.

Virtual Tape Library

VTL is a solution that virtualizes disk resources to so disk- based backup solutions such as D2D and D2D2T can be implemented without disrupting existing backup software & processes.
