IceWEB Unveils Top-of-the-Line 6000HR Unified Storage System

IceWEB, Inc. has expanded its storage line with its new, top-of-the-line, highly-redundant 6000HR series of Unified Storage Systems.  

Prices start at $39,500 for an 8TB system featuring hot swap, dual clustered controllers, drives and power supplies with 6GB SAS Disk and 12 x 1 GB Ethernet ports which can be used for NAS and iSCSI SAN connectivity as well as for storage management and replication.

The Model 6000HR comes in 6 TB, 12 TB and 24 TB configurations, each with 7,200rpm MDL SAS drives. In addition, the 7.2 TB Model 6000HR is available with 15,000rpm ENT SAS. Also available is a hybrid model which includes 18 TB SAS disk drives and 300 GB Solid State Disks (SSD) to provide high performance Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC). The dual redundant controllers can be expanded with disk shelves that provide expansion up to 224 TB.

When configured with SSD technology, the 6000’s high-speed read/write cache enables the 6000 to handle large data volumes at unprecedented speeds. Solid State Disk drives are 80 times faster than standard disk drives and consume one third the power. With SSD, the disk pool becomes a hybrid pool. IceWEB’s Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC) algorithm classifies data two ways, one based on last cached data, another on data accessed frequently. The ARC combined with the hybrid pooling technology dramatically increases the performance required for compute intensive cloud environments.

"The 6000HR series is the perfect entree into the mid-to-high end enterprise storage market," said John R. Signorello, IceWEB CEO. "The Model 6000HR is designed for high-performance, mission-critical applications where ultra-reliability is mandatory. With no single point of failure, automatic error correction and a host of other built-in storage management capabilities, our 6000HR series provides enterprise-level performance and reliability for any size organization at breakthrough price points."

All Model 6000HRs are available through the company’s value-added distributor Promark Technology.
