The StorTrends 1300i is a 1U IP-SAN and NAS Storage Solution with SATA Drives up to 8 TB, with the full-featured version of StorTrends iTX 2.7 Data Storage Software.

This rack-mount storage appliance manages both block and file data in a form factor that is perfect for departments, branch offices, and small or home office (SOHO) users.  It merges Ethernet-based Storage Area Networks (IP-SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) on a single storage platform. Ideal for either primary or secondary storage, it provides enterprise-level features at a price that is attractive to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

Its support for iSCSI enables block applications like Microsoft® Exchange and Oracle® to be deployed or stored on the same server as traditional file services and storage. The StorTrends 1300i is designed with performance in mind, and includes features for advanced storage management such as High Availability, Advanced Snapshots, Volume Replication, Failover and much more.

The StorTrends 1300i offers a host of advanced features that until now only existed in systems costing many times more than the StorTrends 1300i. The Volume Replication features of the StorTrends 1300i allows data to be stored on multiple StorTrends appliances at multiple sites, for high availability and disaster recovery in the event of a catastrophe.
The OS-agnostic High Availability module allows for the configuration of two StorTrends nodes in a High Availability configuration for maximum uptime and reliability. It takes advantage of IP virtualization to manage the HA pair, avoiding the need for special modules or clients to be loaded on client systems to reap the benefits of HA in StorTrends iTX.For improved reliability and disaster prevention, the StorTrends 1300i features a redundant power supply, as well as Smart UPS support, which allows the appliance to seamlessly switch over to UPS power in the event of a power failure and initiate a graceful shutdown.

Each StorTrends IP-SAN and NAS appliance also includes the ManageTrends™ web-based GUI for StorTrends iTX Data Storage Software, which provides discovery and management of multiple StorTrends appliances deployed across the network. ManageTrends also monitors the storage performance, capacity and storage-related events, and provides a detailed analysis of the storage usage and the availability of the storage servers.

Notes:

*Only SAN volumes can be created with High Availability feature; no NAS volumes can be created on an applliance using HA

**Auto provisioning feature available for NAS volumes only
