Storage consolidation through SANshare® storage partitioning software capitalizes on the power of Engenio and delivers significant benefits to the IT
environment. By solving many of the challenges faced by IT organizations today, SANshare enables higher storage ROI through improved efficiency, cost
avoidance, and lower total TCO.
SANshare can create as many as 64 logical arrays and up to 2,048 volumes from a single Engenio storage system. Its heterogeneous host support enables storage
consolidation implementations in multi-platform environments. A storage-based implementation ensures data integrity by regulating volume access at the
controller level. And SANshare is fully integrated into SANtricity® Storage Manager software, creating a single point-of-control for all storage
administration and partitioning needs.
- More efficient storage management - SANshare enables busy storage administrators to reduce the number of individual arrays that need to be managed and maintained
- More efficient utilization of storage capacity SANshare enables all attached servers to receive storage from a unified storage pool, reducing the amount of capacity overhead required and eliminating the unused storage that typically sits wasted in a distributed environment
- Storage flexibility SANshare creates flexibility by de-coupling servers from storage and eliminating server-captive storage limitations
- High-end storage functionality for smaller servers SANshare enables smaller capacity servers to benefit from higher performance, higher availability, and more functionality than is typically offered by the low cost solutions designed for smaller capacity requirements
- SANshare's logical partitioning implementation combined with SANtricity's ability to allow multiple RAID levels, individual volume settings, and various drive capacities / rotational speeds to reside in the same array, enables administrators to choose from a range of volumes with different characteristics to meet a servers exact needs for a given LUN
