High-Performance SSD Accelerated Inline Deduplicating SAN and NAS Appliance
4TB with further scalability via enhanced disk drive densities
Overview
The GB-1000 is GreenBytes’ latest addition to its GB-X Series of inline deduplicating appliances that feature a next-generation storage architecture combined with highly innovative software technology and advanced power management design in an easy-to-use, cost-effective package purpose-built to bring the efficiencies of data deduplication beyond data protection and into the primary storage market.
Powerful and efficient storage in a 1U form factor and priced below $10,000, the GB-1000 delivers the same features as larger GB-X Series appliances but at an unprecedented performance/price ratio.
The GB-1000 features a highly competitive price point while delivering real-time deduplication and restore performance. Unlike competing deduplication appliances, the 4TB GB-1000 provides the performance, as well as connectivity and data management features that allow it to operate superbly in either data protection or primary storage environments. Additionally, inline deduplication, in conjunction with production-level performance, also makes the GB-1000 ideal for virtualized environments where efficiencies of disk can reach above 50:1.
The GB-1000 multi-protocol storage appliance offers enterprise-class features including simultaneous support for both SAN and NAS connectivity, snapshots, remote replication, thin provisioning and a complete graphical management suite for configuration and system monitoring.
The GB-1000, when paired with backup software offerings such as those from Symantec, CommVault, BakBone, LaserVault and others, makes all the benefits of inline deduplicated disk-based backup an economic reality for the SMB. And with its extensive capabilities and features, the GB-1000 is also ideal for primary storage use in remote office applications, as well as departmental and multi-office backup and tape consolidation environments.
