Enabling the Always-On Enterprise
Highly Available storage by aggregating disk capacity across servers into a pool of shared storage
The Problem
Customers demand high availability of their critical data. However, traditional approaches to building and managing shared storage architectures are cost prohibitive. Beyond upfront capital costs, the ongoing maintenance and management of a SAN is complex and expensive.
The Solution
Melio's Virtual Shared Storage software creates a highly available storage environment by aggregating under-utilized disk capacity across existing servers into a pool of shared iSCSI volumes. For organizations of all sizes, the resulting software-based SAN is functionally comparable to more expensive hardware-based alternatives, at a fraction of the cost.
Key Benefits
Robust, flexible and easy to manage, Soft-SANs allow organizations to improve the performance, scalability, availability and utilization of their application, server and storage infrastructures, without bearing the costs of installing, configuring and maintaining a hardware-based SAN.
