Replication saves the data!

Storage with replication superpowers!

You want a storage system that gives you the ability to protect your critical data under any circumstance, is easy to use, and easily scalable to fit the growth of your storage needs. With the AssuredRemote™ upgrade, you get replicable, easy-to-use, and scalable storage.

A wizard makes a great side-kick.
Dot Hill’s AssuredRemote replication software has been granted supreme wizard status that will make replication easier with just a few clicks of the mouse. With the increased risk of lost data due to natural disasters, power outages, computer viruses and more, replication is essential…and it can be done in just four clicks! The new AssuredRemote wizard allows customers to set up replication schedules to simplify the process and ensure that your company’s time isn’t wasted and your data is always protected. It also allows you to see important information during the replication process such as: connected and optimal ports, the connection time during replication, and the progress status of the replication. Dot Hill gives you greater flexibility when choosing a backup facility location with replication offered simultaneously over both Fibre Channel and iSCSI networks.  The new properties of the replication wizard and the choice of network connection, combined with functional Assured enhancements, make replication quick and stress-free.

Speaking of support…
You shouldn’t have to speak another language to understand your storage… so we’ve included new GUI support of 10 different languages to make your storage solution more customizable and easier to understand! You can set up your server’s GUI in any of the following languages: Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. You also have access to online help in all of these languages with printed documents available for English and Simplified Chinese.

When it’s time to bringing in the big guns, you’ll be ready.
With data storage needs growing exponentially, it’s important to know that you can easily add storage space when you need it. The firmware upgrade has 2, 3, and 4 TB drive support so you have the option to upgrade your disk drives when you need. Dot Hill has one of the first entry level SAN solutions with 3TB SAS and SATA drives. This gives you all of the storage you need now and scalability options for the future.

Rest Assured that your data is safe!

Drives, Power and Performance – sounds like a truck, but I’m really talking about SAN Storage with 3TB drives

Ever since Seagate and Hitachi announced 3TB drives, partners and customers have been asking when we will be shipping with the new drives. Good news – we are on it. The firmware is done, and the drives are qualified, and the SKUS are orderable.

And Dot Hill is one of the first companies to offer 3TB drives in an entry level storage array. And they are available now – no pushing or shoving in line, please. There’s enough for everyone.

If it was a truck, it would be a Silverado 3500 HD

The AssuredSAN™ brings a lot of power and performance to small and medium sized businesses – just what you need if you have a lot of stuff (data) and mostly haul it yourself.

The AssuredSAN 3000’s can scale up to 96 drives in a system, giving you 288TB of storage with the new 3TB drives. The AssuredSAN 3000 family now supports both 3TB SAS and 3TB SATA drives. That’s a lot of storage and a lot of speed for anyone with growing data storage needs. And the AssuredSAN Series has options for 8Gb fibre channel, 10Gb iSCSI SANs, as well as other host connection options.
