centralized data management and data availability: advantages
Build larger storage environments using multiple storage arrays using LaScala while simplifying SAN management.

• LaScala is a symmetrical clustered volume manager designed specifically for SAN storage. Easily installs on each SAN-attached Windows server.

• Use LaScala to aggregate multiple modular storage arrays into a single pool of storage.

• Simplifies administration by elevating storage pool management to volume level instead of using zoning and LUN management.

• LaScala gives customers what they expect from a SAN – a single pool of storage that can be easily managed.

• LaScala provides an intuitive tool for centrally managing a large storage pool.

• Create volumes, volume sets, and stripe sets using an intuitive GUI that allows all servers to see the common storage pool.

• Native Windows security permissions can be used to assign volume access rights to any user account.

• Volumes can be non-disruptively expanded while storage remains accessible.

• The volume structure can be managed remotely via a VPN using LaScala Disto.

• Using Melio FS, there is Active-Active access to all data on a SAN, permitting improved application availability architectures.

• Sanbolic Software takes advantage of inherent redundant paths to data provided by SAN Fabric - any server can be given access to any data on the SAN. A single server can back up all data on the SAN while maintaining the file system architecture.

• Software based data mirroring provides low cost option for data protection and supports heterogeneous hardware environments.

• Sanbolic’s Simple Information Lifecycle Manager utility provides a tool to manage policy based file migrations or copies, giving administrators flexible control over data replication and lifecycle management.
