Initiator Support

XL Series supports a variety of client initiators running on many popular OS platforms. Software initiators are available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, Novel Netware, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, HP UX, and Mac OS X from the respective OS vendors.

Adaptive Load Balancing

Adaptive Load Balancing enhances data throughput by automatically routing data through alternative paths.

Security Features

Client access is secured through Challenge Response Handshake Protocol (CHAP). Management access uses Encrypted Admin Access (Secure Socket Layer) and is password protected. Our LUN Masking feature presents Logical Volumes only to those servers that have been granted access and prevents others from seeing the volume. IP Security (IPsec) is a standard for securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications by encrypting and/or authenticating all IP packets. It provides security for iSCSI connections across intranets and the Internet.

Network Teaming and Fault Tolerance

This assures greater reliability by providing a secondary network interface, which automatically takes over if the primary network interface fails.

Multiple Snapshots with Scheduling

An immediate 'Point in Time' image of a Logical Volume can be created while the application access is uninterrupted. Up to 100 scheduled or on demand Snapshots can be created. This feature allows for an easy recovery from accidental deletion or modification of data or a malicious virus or worm attack.

High Availability through Synchronous Mirroring

Volumes can be mirrored in real time to a secondary XL appliance allowing fail over in case the primary fails. Two identical systems can be cross-mirrored to create a highly available redundant solution.

Disaster Recovery through Remote Replication Services

Volumes can be asynchronously replicated to a secondary XL appliance in a remote site providing a secondary backup in case of failure at the primary site. Two identical systems can be cross-replicated to create a highly available redundant solution.

UPS Support

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) eliminates the effects of a temporary power outage and provides safe shutdown without loss of data in case of a power failure. The UPS device can be connected by a serial cable to the appliance.
