The storage industry has tantalised users and in particular SMEs with promises of user-friendly iSCSI products at affordable prices. The new Potomac family of iSCSI bridges has turned this into reality, a series of iSCSI bridges for SAN connectivity. Aimed at the most price-conscious users, the 'Small' from within the SME world, the entry-level bridge from the Potomac iSCSI family has a sustained performance capability of 45MB/s, is extremely easy to install, and with a list price of less than £1,000 for either desk top or rack mount units, it provides the features and the level of performance realistically required for all but the most demanding end users at a truly affordable price.
The Potomac solutions feature native support for disk, tape, and optical devices, hence they are ideal for the user wishing to maximise their return on investment in existing SCSI-based storage infrastructure or to connect new devices that currently do not support iSCSI connectivity to an IP Network.
The compact design means the bridges can be installed either on the desktop or in the server room without the need for specialised racking or for larger users a 1U chassis with twin units is also available. With its 1 Gbit Ethernet, Ultra 160 SCSI interface and web-based management GUI, the Potomac solutions are easily installed and maintained by the traditional SME technical staff.
