StoneFly UES-HA™ Cluster “Unified Encrypted Storage” High-Availability SAN Encryption Gateway Appliance
The StoneFly UES-HA Cluster “Unified Encrypted Storage” High-Availability SAN Gateway Appliance easily converts existing Storage into unified iSCSI and/or Fibre Channel SAN Storage with hardware-enabled block level AES256 volume encryption.
The StoneFly UES-HA™ Cluster “Unified Encrypted Storage” High-Availability SAN Encryption Gateway Appliance allows businesses to easily convert their existing Fibre Channel, SAS, Infiniband, or iSCSI Storage (EMC, NetApp, Dell, etc.) into unified iSCSI or Fibre Channel Storage with hardware-enabled volume encryption. Once Storage volumes have been provisioned by the UES-HA appliance, they can enjoy StoneFly’s numerous advanced data Storage management features.
UES-HA Encryption Gateway is an ideal solution to consolidate all of your server and Storage systems into one easy to manage, fully redundant, highly available modular appliance. Use of virtualized operating systems allows for complete hardware utilization and considerable reduction in power/cooling costs. UES-HA flexibility replaces the “fixed hardware model” of the past with on-demand resource allocation (such as CPU, memory, Storage, etc.) based on your application needs. UES-HA comes with a Virtual SAN Cluster (SCVM™) and the ability to create additional virtual Storage or virtual servers as needed.
- Assign or provision all or part of your existing Storage (EMC, NetApp, Dell, etc.) through your existing or preferred available interface (iSCSI, FC, Infiniband, SAS). From this Storage pool you can create new volumes for all of your hosts. These new volumes are shown in the diagram as V1, V2, V3 and V4.
- These new volumes (V1 – V4) are now part of StoneFly Storage and can now be encrypted, mirrored, replicated, data deduplicated, thin provisioned, etc.
- Hosts can now enjoy volumes V1 – V4 through StoneFly iSCSI (or optional FC SAN) and enjoy all of its features. You have turned a simple volume into a managed volume and saved a lot of money!
- Additional Virtual Machines (Windows, Linux, StoneFly SCVM, etc.) that are VMware compatible can easily be installed on the UES-HA Encryption Gateway Cluster Appliance to further reduce hardware costs and datacenter overhead.
