Intel® Storage System SSR212MA
overview product support where to buy
A Flexible, Scalable, and Cost-Effective Storage Area Network (SAN) System Designed for Easy Deployment and Future Growth
Internet Protocol (IP) SAN systems, such as the Intel® Storage System SSR212MA, use the emerging iSCSI standard for data transport over existing Ethernet infrastructures. With industry-standard hardware architectures and simple new SAN management tools to further lower the cost of SAN systems, IP SANs are now within reach of most companies. Featuring a single Intel® Xeon® processor, support for up to 12 Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives, and intuitive SAN management tools, the Intel Storage System SSR212MA provides easy management of storage resources. It also has the built-in headroom to accommodate an IT administrator's rapidly growing storage needs.

Intel® Storage System SSR212MA Features
Features Benefits
Fully integrated, feature-rich SAN management software Simplify SAN management by remotely configuring, provisioning, and managing data volumes
Optional SAN management software upgrade packs:
  1. Scalability Package
  2. Configurable Snapshot Package
  3. Remote Data Protection Package
Further extend the capacity and performance of your SAN by using optional management software to:
  1. Cluster multiple Intel® Storage Systems
  2. Automate backups
  3. Copy data across multiple sites
Support for iSCSI connectivity Provides connectivity into existing IP infrastructures
Support for up to 12 hot-swappable 1.5 or 3.0 Gbps SATA drives in a 2U form factor Easily add up to 6 TB of raw storage (with 500 GB HDDs) without system downtime for future storage capacity needs. SATA drives currently provide higher capacity at a lower cost than SCSI or Fibre Channel drives
Support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or 50 Flexibility for optimizing performance and fault tolerance
Intel® Xeon® processor Processing performance to meet the demanding needs of storage virtualization
Disk on Module (DOM) boot device, containing the OS and SAN application software Provides redundancy capability in a single solid state device for SAN management software
SAN Management Software Overview
Base SAN Management Software
Storage System Console (SSC) Easy to use graphical interface for Windows* and Linux*

Intuitive management console for configuration, auto-discovery and remote diagnostics
Volume Management and Provisioning Ability to configure and provision volumes quickly without taking the system or existing volumes offline

Manage disk volumes in real time, including size and accessibility

Ability to dynamically increase capacity of available storage pool
Over Subscription Allows volume provisioning in excess of actual physical capacity

Saves upfront disk investment until additional capacity is actually required
Snapshots Ability to manually make single or multiple copies of data volumes
Security Provides authentication for secure access to data volumes using CHAP with iSCSI connectivity
Reliability SAN Management application runs under a storage optimized Linux kernel

Complete O/S and application is contained on redundant Disk on Memory (DOM)
Optional SAN Management Software Features
Scalability Package Multi-node virtualization, or clustering, allows a group of SAN systems to act as a single storage pool

Load-balancing enables resource sharing between all the SAN systems in a cluster

Replication across systems in a cluster allows data to be split in a group in redundant and non-redundant configurations
Configurable Snapshot Package Ability to automate process of scheduling volume snapshot copies (base software only offers manual snapshot capability)

Allows dynamic snapshot sizing to capture only incremental changes between snapshots to optimize disk utilization
Remote Data Protection Package Asynchronous remote copy feature that lets snapshots be taken between multiple sites (over LAN or WAN) for disaster recovery
