WATERTOWN, Mass. (Business Wire EON) October 15, 2007 --
Sanbolic, Inc., a leading
developer of software to simplify and share SAN storage, today announced
Melio 2008 and LaScala 2008, which add several new features to increase
performance and availability of enterprise shared clustered storage
solutions. These products also support Windows Server 2008, which will
release to manufacturing in the first quarter of 2008. Sanbolic’s
products are designed to support Windows applications which benefit from
central administration of a large virtual storage pool accessed by
multiple physical or virtual servers, and to provide concurrent shared
read and write access to a shared file system from multiple servers.
Sanbolic has enhanced the scalability and availability of this storage
infrastructure platform by adding support for unlimited LUN sizes and
for Basic and GPT disk structures in LaScala
Clustered Volume Manager. LaScala’s
architecture is also chkdsk-ready. Melio
Clustered File System adds support for Multilayer chkdsk, which can
run simultaneously on multiple nodes as a background operation. The new
release also implements network oplocks and adds support for up to 16
processors per server.
The new features enable customers to implement very large, centrally
managed, highly available storage environments for both physical and
virtual servers. Performance in applications like clustered NAS using
Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 scales linearly as additional
servers are added to the storage cluster. An eight-node cluster of the
Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 platform has demonstrated
200,000 IOPS/second. Up to 64 nodes in a cluster have been demonstrated,
and the company expects the products to scale to at least 256 nodes in a
single cluster.
The new releases also improve support for Microsoft Virtual Server 2005
R2 and VMware Server solutions.
“Our customers are looking for efficiency and
scale as they adopt distributed storage infrastructure.”
said Bala Kasiviswanathan, Director, Storage Solutions Marketing,
Microsoft Corp. “Sanbolic support of the
Windows platform with its Melio 2008 Clustered File System and the
LaScala 2008 Volume Manager will help our customers achieve this goal.”
Sanbolic software currently supports Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft
Windows Vista, Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003 R2 and Windows
Server 2008 Beta 3. Sanbolic distributes its product solutions worldwide
through a network of distributors, OEMs, VARs and system integrators.
Sanbolic will be exhibiting this solution at the Microsoft Partner
Pavilion at Storage Networking World in Dallas October 15-18.
