Xiotech Corporation proclaimed on Friday that it will shortly be distribution three new inventions as well as new storage analysis software and an updated version of its storage array with equal to 1.8 petabytes of RAID storage.

The invention situate is aimed at virtual desktop environments, allowing more competent management of random I/O storage traffic by permitting centralized management and on-the-fly volume formation, plus concurrent data analytics for performance-sensitive applications.

The corporation as well proclaimed the subsequently launch of its ICE Manager software. Version 2.5 can now administer all of Xiotech's ICE-based arrays by a single user interface. Before, the storage arrays had to be supervised through separate interfaces.

Xiotech's new storage array, Emprise 9000, pursues the Emprise 7000 series box and is based on the corporation's present 3U (5.25-in. high) storage blade technology that Xiotech calls an Intelligent Storage Element (ISE) array. The ISE is essentially a self-sufficient drive tray that arrives with all important functions of a storage area network (SAN). The ISE tray contains the disk drives, controller and management software.

As new trays are added, not simply does ability increase but so does processing speed. Xiotech's ISE trays as well come with double power, cooling units and battery modules. The Emprise 9000 scales from two to 12 controllers each tray and contains SAN virtualization software, which generates a layer of concept and pools disk aptitude after a single user interface.
