Paralan’s iS500 Family of iSCSI Bridges™: Increased
Productivity, Maximum Flexibility
For over 17 years, Paralan Corporation has developed cutting-edge
products to address the needs of the rapidly changing data storage
market. Recognizing the need to merge parallel SCSI storage into IP
(iSCSI) Storage Area Networks (SAN), Paralan developed the iS500
Family of iSCSI to parallel SCSI Bridges. One of the fastest and
most cost effective iSCSI Bridge™ solutions available, the iS500
Family can be used to locate parallel SCSI storage at any distance
via any Ethernet port using iSCSI protocol.
If you have an IP SAN,
Paralan’s iS500 Family of iSCSI Bridges™ will easily connect your
parallel SCSI devices to IP storage networks and convert “Direct
Attached Storage” (DAS) systems and devices to networked iSCSI
storage environments.
If you do not have a SAN, Paralan’s iS500 Family of iSCSI Bridges™
will easily and inexpensively locate storage and backup SCSI devices
anywhere for disaster recovery or remote backup – yards, meters,
kilometers, or miles – the distance is unlimited!
As a leader in SCSI innovation, Paralan provides these Bridges in
various form factors
to meet a variety of configuration needs:
Board version: Perfect for OEMs and System Integrators to
incorporate into
their own packages.
Stand-Alone Box version: Simply connect cables and apply power.
Paralan’s iS500 Family: Offering the Competitive Edge
Paralan’s iS500 Family was developed with one goal in mind: ultimate
performance. As a result, each Paralan iS500 Bridge boasts the
following exceptional features:
Built-in Graphical Interface addressable by any web browser
through the Gigabit Ethernet port.
Easy installation including an initial IP address and the
capability to be used in DHCP over TCP/IP environments.
Automatically detects every parallel SCSI device connected
to the 68-pin SCSI interface upon power up.
Field upgradeable to adapt to future expansions of the iSCSI
specifications, and compliant with iSCSI and SCSI interface
standards.
At-a-Glance status LEDs for SCSI Bus Activity, Self
Diagnostics, Power, Gigabit Ethernet Link Status and Gigabit
Ethernet Activity.
Utilizes a dedicated 833 MHz 32-bit processor for maximum
iSCSI and SCSI
throughput.
Embedded Adaptec Ultra160 SCSI controller chip providing
state of the art,
reliable control of all SCSI devices. The iS500 Series offers
models that support
LVD/MSE and HVD SCSI.
In addition, the iS500 Family includes the following features:
