IceWEB Unified Storage System Feature Summary

Simple. Advanced. Affordable. And a lot more.

IceWEB Unified Data Storage Systems are feature-rich storage solutions that will simplify the management of your storage environment.

It’s Simple.

The IceWEB Storage System is an all-inclusive storage system that lets you store both block and file data, simplifying your environment by consolidating management onto one platform. It’s also highly automated.  Setup wizards allow you to provision storage in as little as 15 minutes and the intuitive interface simplifies the use of its sophisticated storage management capabilities.

It’s Safe.

All IceWEB Storage System configurations offer a complete set of availability and reliability features:

• Hot-pluggable drives, cooling, and power supplies
• Built-in support for single, double and triple parity RAID
• Volume replication, automatic error correction and background data scrubbing to ensure data integrity
• Optional clustered controller units ensure no single point of failure within the storage subsystem

It’s Advanced.

All IceWEB Unified Storage System configurations provide a complete set of storage management features including in-line de-duplication, compression and thin provisioning for unparalleled storage efficiency rates.  This combination of technologies dramatically reduces your physical storage requirements compared to other systems.  In some cases, efficiency rates can approach 90 percent.  With the purchase of only 10TBs of storage, you have access to 100TBs of capacity. That’s outstanding value in terms of dollar per usable terabyte, and a dramatic reduction in power consumption and footprint for your storage environment.

In addition, IceWEB unified storage systems include unlimited snapshots, lined clones, asynchronous replication, and a host of other features, all included in IceWEB’s IceSTORM Operating System at no additional cost with all of IceWEB’s Storage Systems.

It’s Powerful. 

The IceWEB Storage System features a 128-bit file system, meaning there are no hard-coded limits on the number of objects you can scale to (such as LUNs, volumes, files, or disk drives), limitations that you typically find in more traditional arrays using 64-bit systems.

It’s Affordable. 

We challenge you to find a more capable platform for the price. IceWEB Unified Storage Systems combines the right mix of functionality with the service and support you get from a nimble storage company that’s customer-oriented.

It’s Hypervisor Ready. 

To make the most of your virtual server and desktop environments, create storage pools with IceWEB Storage Systems. You can manage a storage pool against a set of virtual machines, easily managing both iSCSI volume and file shares used by virtual servers.  IceWEB supports VMware, Citrix and Microsoft Hyper-V, and is compatible with VMware SRM and Citrix StorageLink for use with disaster recovery (DR) environments.
