SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - April 4, 2011) - Huawei Symantec Technologies Co., Ltd., a leading provider of network storage and security solutions, today unveiled the Oceanspace T-Series, a family of scalable storage systems tailored for medium-sized enterprises. For data center managers, T-Series systems stand-out by maximizing storage consolidation with the highest capacity per controller; by automating performance tuning with migration of data to the optimum storage tier; and by reducing energy usage with aggressive power management. For channel partners looking to fill the void left by storage vendor consolidation, high-value T-Series storage is their new wingman.
"High-availability, high-performance and a broad suite of software, which a few years ago were found only in high-end disk arrays, are expected today in mid-range systems," said Jane Li, General Manager of North America, Huawei Symantec. "Storage partners will find the feature-rich T-Series is well-suited for data center environments."
Oceanspace T-Series: Powerful, Flexible, Easy
T-Series is a family of SAN systems pre-packaged with the power, flexibility and ease-of-use needed in core data center storage applications, including storage consolidation and remote replication for disaster recovery.
Powerful -- A fully redundant T-Series system can support well over 1,000 disk drives for massive storage consolidation. T-Series systems support connectivity to the fastest SANs on the planet: 8Gb Fibre Channel and 10Gb iSCSI. Smart Cache technology inside each T-Series system tunes the performance of the system by automatically migrating data to the SSD tier that will provide the optimum balance of performance and cost.
Flexible -- Modular T-Series hardware allows scalability one building block at a time. Administrator-defined energy saving policies control auto disk sleep, fan speed tuning and even CPU speed tuning. In addition, a broad suite of software gives data center administrators the agility to deploy a variety of storage applications, such as remote replication for disaster recovery, with a single license.
Easy -- The friendly graphical user interface provides point-and-click control of a broad suite of powerful system and storage management functions.
The T-Series family of storage systems announced today includes four models:
Oceanspace S5500T -- Up to 288 SSDs / SAS, or SATA HDDs
Oceanspace S5600T -- Up to 576 SSDs / SAS, SATA or FC HDDs
Oceanspace S5800T -- Up to 1,152 SSDs / SAS, SATA or FC HDDs
