Intransa’s IP5000 Dominates the IP-SAN Market in India and Asia PAC
Intransa’s Native IP SAN Experiences Exploding Demand in India and Asia PAC
Bangalore, 14th July 2004
Intransa Inc, the global leader in end-to-end native IP SAN solutions, is experiencing a steep rise in demand for its IP SAN solutions throughout the Asia Pacific region and India. Dozen of new customers are deploying the IP5000, provisioning storage for their enterprise applications. These customers are attracted to Intransa’s native IP SAN systems’ ability to deliver an enterprise-class SAN environment at a fraction of the cost and complexity of fibre channel SANs and its superior performance and scalability over NAS.
According to Vinay Khargonkar, Assistant General Manager IT, Larsen & Toubro Ltd, Hazira Works, “Flexibility, easy manageability and low TCO is what made the Intransa IP SAN solution an attractive proposition for us. We can now easily service the demand for additional storage by simply adding additional storage or controller modules to the Ethernet network.
“Native IP SANs truly represent the 3rd wave of storage and will play a key role in helping organizations implement new age services like remote data replication, disaster recovery and video-on-demand services,” predicts Dr. Avi Katz, President and Chief Executive Officer, Intransa.
The Intransa IP SAN solution is a modular, native to the network IP-based block-storage (Storage Area Network) array from 2TB up to 48TB raw capacity. Intransa delivers the IP SAN with enterprise class features in a cost effective, scalable, and easy to setup network storage solution that costs pennies per megabyte. The solution is ideal to address rapidly growing email storage, database application storage, and Web server data.
Peter Wang, Founder and CTO, Intransa, observes, “Our IP SAN solution delivers a cost-effective, quickly deployable, and easily managed networked storage environment that makes the benefits of SANs practical for entry-level and mid-tier enterprise applications and for expansion of high end ones. By transforming the way networked storage systems are designed, we have been able to extend the benefits of SAN technology to customers who previously may not have deployed SAN solutions due to their high cost and complexity.”
IP SANs, according to International Data Corporation, are expected to garner more than 25% of the global storage market by 2007. A number of factors that are contributing to this growing appeal for IP-SANs include:
- Ease of Deployment —
- can be set up quickly and with minimal training and wherever IP networks are available
- IP Benefits —
- organizations can leverage the inherent management capabilities of IP including SAN management, Quality of Service, load-balancing, routing and security
- Based on Proven Technologies —
- SCSI and Ethernet/IP are well established and enable organizations to leverage their existing IT infrastructure and knowledge
- Wide OS support —
- a wide array of products are now shipping an iSCSI initiator, for example Windows 2000 client and server versions, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Linux, Solaris, and AIX.
