NAS Filer supports remote office storage.

Avere Systems, Inc.    Pittsburgh, PA 15237
Jul 23, 2012 Built on Avere Operating System, FXT 3100 Edge Filer enables automatic tiering of data, advanced monitoring for visibility into NAS environment, and global namespace for managing all storage as single pool. Unit contains 48 GB of DRAM, 1 GB NVRAM, and 2.4 TB of 10 k SAS HDDs to store large working set of recently active data. FXT 3100's 2 x 10 GbE and 6x 1 GbE ports allow connectivity to clients and servers for access to active data and to core filers for infrequently accessed data.

NAS Filer and Architecture meet diverse storage challenges.

Avere Systems, Inc.    Pittsburgh, PA 15237
Apr 06, 2012 NAS architecture, AOS v3.0, ensures enterprise IT is optimally positioned to leverage performance benefits of Flash, consolidation benefits of virtualization, as well as collaborative and economic benefits of cloud. Also available, Edge filer operates in concert with legacy or Core filers to implement new architecture for NAS and has all data handling capabilities of legacy filers but can manage global user namespace across multiple filers and remote facilities.

NAS Appliances provide unlimited application performance scaling.

Avere Systems, Inc.    Pittsburgh, PA 15237
Oct 20, 2011 Supporting clusters of up to 50 appliances, FXT 3000/4000 series feature architecture that facilitates and accelerates scaling of performance separately from capacity to achieve millions of IOPS. Ability to place FXT nodes across wide area from storage servers eliminates latency penalty for remote application access. Also, file system organizes data across RAM, SSD, SAS, and SATA tiers to provide 5:1 reduction in disks, power, and rack space.

NAS Appliances offer centralized management, access.

Avere Systems, Inc.    Pittsburgh, PA 15237
Apr 07, 2011 Powered by Intel® Xeon® quad-core CPUs, FXT 2550 and 2750 are based on A-3 Architecture with Tiered File System, scale-out clustering, as well as virtualization and visibility via GNS capability. Model FXT 2550 includes 72 GB DRAM, 1 GB NVRAM, and 3.6 TB of 15K SAS disk storage; six 1 GbE ports; and 2 copper 10 GbE ports. Dual optical 10 GbE ports are optionally available. Model FXT 2750 has same configuration but substitutes SAS disk tier for 512 GB of Single Level Cell SSD storage.

NAS Appliances offer global namespace functionality.

Avere Systems, Inc.    Pittsburgh, PA 15237
Mar 22, 2011 With Avere 2.0 OS, FXT Scale-out NAS Appliances offer single namespace view across all NAS storage servers, unifying multi-vendor NAS from data center to cloud. Storage administrators can create and manage logical groupings of file-based resources regardless of physical location, presenting NFS or CIFS clients with transparent access to data with single mount point. When data is moved from one storage server to another within network, client access is automatically rerouted with no disruption.

Scalable NAS Appliances support parallel file access.

Avere Systems, Inc.    Pittsburgh, PA 15237
Nov 09, 2010 FXT Series is available with Avere OS, which adds support for up to 24 mass storage systems, bi-modal CIFS ACL, and parallel file access. Specifically, Avere OS provides dynamic tiering for optimal data placement across multiple storage tiers, performance acceleration for any application workload, and clustering for performance scaling and availability. Its UI, support for industry-standard protocols, and administration capabilities facilitate storage infrastructure integration.

Tiered NAS Appliance leverages SLC Flash SSD technology.

Avere Systems, Inc.    Pittsburgh, PA 15237
Jan 29, 2010 Featuring 64 GB DRAM, 1 GB NVRAM, and 512 GB Single Level Cell (SLC) Flash Solid State Disk (SSD), FXT 2700 Series accommodates demands of performance-critical applications. Avere OS, included, constantly monitors and analyzes data access frequency patterns and workload type; automatically manages data placement on appropriate storage tier; and distributes workloads across cluster of up to 25 appliances. Each 2U unit offers redundant power and network ports.

NAS Appliances drive storage network performance, efficiency.

Avere Systems, Inc.    Pittsburgh, PA 15237
Oct 08, 2009 FXT Series automatically and dynamically moves data in real-time between Solid State and HDD tiers, promoting performance while avoiding over-provisioning of storage, inefficient use of limited data center space, and wasted power consumption. Respectively, FXT 2300 and 2500 feature eight 146 and 450 GB 15k SAS disks for total HDD capacities of 1.2 and 3.6 TB - scalable to 29.2 and 90 TB per cluster. Clusters scale to 25 appliances and support millions of operations/sec performance.
