Silverback Systems products
The iSNAP2110 iSCSI Initiator HBA
Silverback Systems delivers the key ingredient assuring unsurpassed iSCSI cost/performance: The iSNAP2110 iSCSI Initiator HBA.
Enabling accelerated performance of standalone and blade servers, Silverback's patented iSNAP architecture carefully balances state-of-the-art silicon and software to facilitate IP-SAN deployment while providing flexibility, scalability, resiliency, and high-availability.
iSCSI is the right server/storage connectivity choice
Hardware-accelerated iSCSI is now the technology alternative to Fibre Channel, and a 'best practice' that delivers performance equivalent to 2Gb Fibre Channel at lower system cost and total-cost-of-ownership.
iSCSI is now recognized as the high-value approach to performance-driven block storage networking for enterprise and mid-tier organizations alike, enabling low-cost, high-performance solutions for MS Exchange and SQL Server applications.
iSNAP is the leader
Performance - Only iSNAP acceleration technology will deliver iSCSI Data Digest data integrity without degrading server performance-something that is impossible with software initiators and standard network interface cards for Ethernet storage. Only iSNAP delivers the 3-5x cost/performance improvement versus the leading HBA alternative.
Manageability - SANs must connect to the wide variety of operating systems supporting modern business applications.
Managing software initiators across this range of platforms imposes a burden on system administrators. Only an iSCSI HBA supports a range of platforms providing a uniform control interface, transparent to administrator's management tools, operating systems and applications.
Scalability - iSNAP2110 HBAs bring headroom to the deployment long before growth requirements bring your system to its knees. Adding iSNAP HBAs to your servers provides instant consolidation opportunities as CPUs are freed up to process even more transactions for more users. Best of all, scaling the network does not impose a built-in penalty on server processing capacity, which happens with software initiators.
Ease of Use - The iSNAP2110 Initiator HBA seamlessly plugs into MS Windows Server as a high-performance Storport driver. Microsoft applications and servers not only work, they work better.
Network Boot - iSNAP allows servers to boot directly from the network, giving you considerable leverage to efficiently manage operations capacity and scale. Given that the software iSCSI initiator does not offer this option, enabling network boot capability becomes an overwhelming reason to use the iSNAP2110 HBA.
