ES-8700 iSCSI/NAS Unified Storage with Open-E DSS V7

With the ES-8700 series based on Open-E DSS V7 EUROstor builds iSCSI and NAS storage solutions, that support snapshots and replication. On the other hand they offer everything that might be expected from welldesigned iSCSI systems: Each server can be provided with its private volumes, in order to build up real SAN networks on an Ethernet.
These systems can optionally be offered with LSI CacheCade Pro 2.0. With this SSDs can be used as read and write cache, which increases I/O-Performance.
ES-8700 can also be configured as cluster, active/active for iSCSI and NFS.
Some models have been certified as a complete system by Open-E. The other models of the series only differ in the configuration.
