Dot Hill Systems has announced it has completed all testing of its AssuredSAN 3000 Series arrays for the StorNext Partner Self-Certification Program. StorNext software is a high-speed file sharing and cost-efficient data protection application for applications that need to dramatically increase performance and productivity.  The certification provides a tested solution that delivers high-speed, cost-efficient file sharing across multiple servers and operating environments.

"The StorNext File System is ideally suited for environments that must manage large files such as video, images, or other rich media content and access these files across multiple host systems," said Jim Jonez, senior director of marketing, Dot Hill. "Customers who need access to file-based content can confidently leverage the StorNext File System with high-performance, cost-effective Dot Hill AssuredSAN storage."  

Customers in the media and entertainment industries, such as video post production houses, rely on Quantum StorNext as a multi-host file system to maximize the benefits of fast networked storage. Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3700 Series arrays, also a popular choice in these environments, provide up to 192TB of high speed 8Gb Fibre Channel storage that can be shared by multiple users for maximum efficiency and increased workflow productivity. File sharing dramatically increases the number of projects that can be worked on simultaneously, resulting in more projects being completed on time.

Advanced data management such as AssuredCopy, Dot Hill's volume copy technology, enabling the creation of independent data volume copies for additional data protection, and Dot Hill's AssuredSnap snapshot capability for improved data availability and business continuity, allow companies to reduce the burden of meeting modern data retention policies.

The AssuredSAN 3000 Series features a number of eco-friendly enhancements such as drive-spin-down capability and 595-watt 80 PLUS-rated (greater than 80 percent energy efficiency) power supplies for reduced operating costs. Additionally, the AssuredSAN 3000 Series also features Dot Hill's patented EcoStor "green" battery-free alternative for cache memory, which leverages a combination of super capacitors and flash memory that outlasts traditional batteries nearly fivefold. Business benefits include lower maintenance and disposal costs and reduced server and application down time due to scheduled battery replacement and maintenance.
