Consolidate and virtualize your storage

A single expandable virtual storage pool from which to provision storage for multiple applications and user groups:

  • Drives are organized as RAID-6 virtual devices (VDEVS)
  • Each share or LUN is represented as a unique filesystem
  • Filesystems may inherit properties from a parent (e.g. user's quotas)
  • Storage for all filesystems are virtually provisioned from a single pool
  • Expanding a pool requires only a few mouse clicks (no tiresome RAID formatting)
  • 1000s of filesystems are supported on each appliance

 

Eliminate waste with real-time on-line de-duplication

ZFS+ is a true single instance file system designed from the ground up for real-time de-duplication:

  • The industries only real-time de-duplication for on-line files
  • Data ingest rates exceed 350 MB/s
  • Performance does not degrade even when the appliance is full
  • De-dupe occurs across the entire pool (No artificial limits)
  • Even iSCSI LUNs benefit from de-duplication!

 

Provision your VM storage with de-duplicating iSCSI LUNs

 

A true break-through in storage technology ZFS+ virtual iSCSI LUNs enable ANY

hosted filesystem with on-line de-duplication:

  • Virtual provision iSCSI lUNs
  • Format with NTFS or ANY LINUX/UNIX Filesystem
  • Consolidate all of your VM boot images with de-duplication and compression
  • Completely transparent to all users and applications
Auto-provision your users with intelligent AD integration

 

Describe your user hierarchy and permissions in MS Active Directory (AD)

  • Auto provision and create filesystems on demand for AD users
  • Inherit quotas from parent filesystems
  • Set quotas at the filesystem (user level)
Expand capacity with block-level compression

 

LZW style compression occurs seamlessly at the block level:

  • Data ingest rates exceed 350 MB/s
  • Data read rates exceed 500 MB/s
  • Compression performance of approximately 2 to 1 is possible
  • Completely transparent to all users and application
Provide user level snapshots and MS shadowcopy client access

Seamless integration between ZFS+ snapshots and MS shadowcopy.

Any user can right-click and roll back any file to an early snapshot with ZERO ADMIN ASSISTANCE.

Protect your data with easy to use remote replication

 

Remote replication is integrated with the ZFS+ snapshot engine:

  • Choose which snapshots to replicate between storage appliances
  • N to N replication across your entire network allows for geographical distribution
  • Remote copies are fully read-write
  • Very tolerant of network interruptions and latency

 

Enjoy incredible storage density

 

A single X4540 based cypress appliance provides industry leading storage density:

  • Effective densities of 22.5 TB/Rack Unit
  • 2 to 1 compression and 30% de-duplication anticipated in many workloads
  • Higher de-duplication ratios are possible with highly redundant data
  • Additional JBODs (90 effective TBs each) may be added to the storage pool
  • Maximum scale out of 270 effective TBs in 12U/Cypress appliance
Manage your system without a PhD in NAS

Setup your system in under 5 minutes. Cypress WebAdmin includes everything you need to deploy storage to thousands of users:

Share your data with high performance kernel level NFS and CIFS

 

High performance kernel based NFS and CIFS servers make the most of your network:

  • Low CPU overhead
  • 80 MB/s CIFS data rate per Gigabit ethernet link
  • Kernel level AD integration
  • Double the throughput compared to SAMBA based solutions
Secure your data with true NT ACLs

NT ACLS are stored natively as part of the ZFS+ filesystem:

  • Direct support for Windows ACL editor
  • Access control resolved via AD: NOT VIA SIMPLE MAPPING to UNIX ACLS
  • POSIX and NT ACLs co-exist in the same filesystem

 

Reduce power consumption with intelligent power management

ZFS+ is the only enterprise class filesystem with integrated power management:

  • Determine how much of the storage system needs to be awake
  • Set peak load anticipate alarms to wake up the system at a specific time
  • Enjoy smooth thrash-free performance even with many drives asleep
  • Reduce nominal power consumption of the X4540 by up to 50%
  • Operate with power consumption as low as 7 Watts/TB vs 35 the industry average
