Intelligent Firmware featuring Infortrend's Snapshot Data Service and Eonpath multipathing management
Derived from a decade of experience in RAID storage design, Infortrend's proprietary firmware codes safeguard disk array storage and provide a clearly defined, high performance standard in terms of maximum protection against failures and fast I/O transmission speeds. In addition to these intelligent firmware functions, a new feature V snapshot V provides greater data protection services for small business to enterprise-scale applications.

New Features
Snapshot
Snapshot is interfaced through the SANWatch software, and with the snapshot function, automated backup tasks can be performed in a point-in-time manner. The block-level snapshot operation is processed by RAID hardware and hence offload backup tasks from host CPU.?
Please refer to SANWatch's introduction page for more information.
Eonpath support
Eonpath is Infortrend's multi-pathing driver that manages fault-tolerant data paths to an individual RAID volume. Eonpath also comes with load balancing functions to help accelerate the throughput across the host-storage data links. The EonPath only works with Infortrend EonStor redundant-controller systems on the ASIC400 architecture.
Please refer to EonPath introduction page for more information.
