Product information

ES-8700 iSCSI/NFS Cluster build a highly flexible storage solution, that replicates synchronously iSCSI and NFS volumes and, with automatic failover, keeps them available even in the case of a system failure.
Additionally these systems can be used as file servers for Windows clients (CIFS), including replication (also over WAN) and snapshot functionality.
Replication bewtween the two nodes can be implemented with 25 or 40 Gbit Ethernet, which is especially useful in combination with serveral 10 Gbit ports to the hosts.
Some models have been certified as a complete system by Open-E. The other models of the series only differ in the configuration.
