Infortrend EonStor 10GbE iSCSI Systems Are VMware Ready

Infortrend announced that its EonStor S16E-R1240 and S16E-G1240 storage systems, featuring 10GbE iSCSI host connectivity, have achieved VMware Ready status.

This designation indicates that the EonStor S16E-R1240 and S16E-G1240 have passed an evaluation and testing process managed by VMware and are now listed on the VMware Hardware Compatibility List.
 
Passing the VMware-specified testing helps ensure that the dual-controller EonStor S16E-R1240 and single-controller EonStor S16E-G1240 storage systems make best use of VMware technology and are ready for deployment in customer environments.
 
"We are pleased that Infortrend’s EonStor 10GbE iSCSI host storage systems, the EonStor S16E-R1240 and S16E-G1240, qualify for the VMware Ready logo, signifying to customers that they have passed specific VMware testing and interoperability criteria and are ready to run in production environments," said Bernie Mills, senior director, alliance programs, VMware.
 
According to Thomas Kao, product planning director at Infortrend, "Infortrend attaches great importance to the VMware Ready certification. Our goal is to ensure that all of our iSCSI and Fibre Channel (FC) host storage products are VMware certified, helping SMB users effectively and efficiently address storage demands in the server virtualisation environment. By using Infortrend’s EonStor 10GbE iSCSI host models with VMware vSphere (VMware ESX4), enterprises enjoy high performance, easy deployment and management in virtualised IP SAN environments."
