Save Rack Space & Power Greatly
Nowadays people and organizations are creating more and more data. The rapid increase in the volumes of data leads to very strong storage capacity demands and stresses the data centers. Rack space is at a premium and power consumption costs have to be minimized. With AegisSAN LX 4U 60-bay systems, organizations can save up to 65% in rack space and reduce power consumption by 50%!

High Availability
The dual active controllers plus fully redundant and hot-swappable designs make AegisSAN LX 4U 60-bay system a highly available system. It offers multiple paths and load balancing features such as MPIO, MC/S, Trunking, and LACP to better ensure the reliability.

Outstanding Performance& Efficiency
The powerful controllers of AegisSAN LX 4U 60-bay system enable it to provide excellent IOPS and throughput for performance demanding applications. The hardware RAID makes the reliability better and volume robust. In addition, the proprietary QiSOE (Qsan hardware iSCSI offload engine) adopts a dedicated CPU core to process iSCSI packet to boost iSCSI performance.
AegisSAN LX 4U 60-bay series supports VMware vSphere 5 VAAI (vStorage APIs for Array Integration), Citrix and Hyper-V for highly virtualized environments.

Software Value Add-ons
AegisSAN LX 4U 60-bay system offers top-notch functions including QSnap (copy-on-write snapshot), volume cloning, QReplica (remote replication), Windows VSS, N-way mirror and so on for well-rounded data protection.

Features
Provide Great Performance & Availability for Mid-range Enterprise
QiSOE
Qsan iSCSI storage system features QiSOE (Qsan hardware iSCSI offload engine), which adopts a dedicated CPU core to process iSCSI packet. With QiSOE the performance will be booming up to 30%.

Virtualization Technologies
Virtualization refers to the creation of a virtual machine that acts like a real computer with an operating system. It adds a new layer of software and hardware between storage systems and servers so that applications no longer need to know on which specific drives, partitions or storage systems their data resides. This greatly enhances the flexibility, agility, scalability and manageability. AegisSAN LX 4U 60-bay storage system supports virtualization technologies of VMware, Citrix and Hyper-V enabling improved performance, superior scalability and better agility in the highly virtualized working environments.

Hardware Redundancy
Qsan storage systems are equipped with fully redundant components for all major functions, including dual active RAID controllers, power supplies, fan modules, battery backup modules, and SAS JBOD expansion ports. Being hot swappable, all of them enable non-stop services for enterprises.

Thin Provisioning
AegisSAN LX 4U 60-bay series delivers thin provisioning to provide more physical resources than actually available capacity so that organizations can avoid allocated but unused storage and be able to purchase only the disk capacity they actually need. Therefore, thin provisioning feature can significantly raise storage utilization and help enterprises to save cost.

QReplica
Data protection and backup solutions play an important role in storage system and QReplica is the remote replication tool that deploy full data copies across storage systems at different sites through LAN or WAN. In addition, QReplica supports to replica multiple logical volumes in one system at one time.
