Paralan's iS500 Family of iSCSI Bridges™: Increased Productivity, Maximum Flexibility
For over 17 years, Paralan Corporation has developed cutting-edge products to address the needs of the rapidly changing
data storage market. Recognizing the need to merge parallel SCSI storage into IP (iSCSI) Storage Area Networks (SAN), Paralan
developed the iS500 Family of iSCSI to parallel SCSI Bridges. One of the fastest and most cost effective iSCSI Bridge™ solutions
available, the iS500 Family can be used to locate parallel SCSI storage at any distance via any Ethernet port using iSCSI protocol.
-
If you have an IP SAN, Paralan's iS500 Family of iSCSI Bridges™ will easily connect your parallel SCSI devices to IP storage networks
and convert "Direct Attached Storage" (DAS) systems and devices to networked iSCSI storage environments.
-
If you do not have a SAN, Paralan's iS500 Family of iSCSI Bridges™ will easily and inexpensively locate storage and backup SCSI devices
anywhere for disaster recovery or remote backup - yards, meters, kilometers, or miles - the distance is unlimited!
-
As a leader in SCSI innovation, Paralan provides these Bridges in various form factors to meet a variety of configuration needs:
- Board version: Perfect for OEMs and System Integrators to incorporate into their own packages.
- Stand-Alone Box version: Simply connect cables and apply power.
- Rack Mountable version: Conveniently mounts Paralan's iSCSI Bridges™ into storage racks.
-
iS500 Family Product Highlights include:
- Fast and Reliable Wire Speed iSCSI Throughput
- Board, Box or Rack Mount
- Built-in User-Friendly Graphical Interface
- Easy Installation and Set Up
- Field Upgradeable Firmware
