With StorMacX i4000, consolidating storage resources for Mac OS X environments exclusive or heterogeneous open systems platforms is simple. Using an advanced virtualization engine with Apple’s cost-effective Xserve® RAID platform, makes building advanced iSCSI SANs fast and easy. At the heart, the StorMacX i4000 utilizes the latest dual core processing power, dedicated iSCSI cache, and the award-winning StoneFusion IP SAN operating system.
Fast Track to Storage Consolidation
Centralizing storage resources into an intelligent storage area network supporting advanced storage services provides the benefit of increasing storage utilization and removing islands of under-utilized disk resources. An IP SAN aggregates all storage into a centralized virtual storage pool that can be provisioned as necessary when application growth increases storage requirements or new servers are added to the network, eliminating the need for disparate direct attached storage. StorMacX i4000 is an ideal foundation for all storage consolidation projects for businesses looking to take advantage of storage services driven by advanced storage virtualization to support highly available mission critical applications. StorMacX i4000 also supports business continuity efforts, tiered storage implementations, disaster recovery projects, and disk based backups.
Intelligent IP SANs Made Simple with StoneFusion
The award-winning StoneFusion® Intelligent Network Storage Platform (NSP) core storage networking architecture reduces the total cost of ownership by lowering management costs and increasing storage utilization. By adding block level storage intelligence to the IP network core, StoneFusion powered Storage Concentrators deliver all the benefits of managed SANs: including increased storage utilization through resource consolidation, storage provisioning, centralized access control, volume management, and advanced storage services including clustering, mirroring, and snapshotting. At the core of StoneFusion is a robust storage virtualization engine that enables provisioning of physical storage resources in to virtual volumes. With StoneFusion the power of IP SANs is at your fingertips.

Input an estimate of the amount of storage you will need. Your available storage capacity will decrease depending on the RAID level you choose. Do not include hot spares in your raw storage calculation.
Input the amount of data you currently have in use. This will be used to generate an estimate on the number of disks you will need for this amount of available storage, after accounting for the RAID level.
