Scalable Network Storage Platforms for High Performance or Mid-Range Applications
BlueArc offers a range of scalable, high-performing network storage hardware products that support both traditional network attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN) services on a converged network storage platform. BlueArc's products enable customers to benefit from lower total cost of ownership through improved productivity and efficiency derived from high data throughput, storage consolidation and the reduction of costs through simplified management.BlueArc's Titan and Mercury Server product families leverage an advanced hardware-based file system that scales both performance and capacity well beyond conventional PC or processor-based servers. With its ability to virtualize up to 8 petabytes (Mercury) or 16 petabytes (Titan) in a Global Namespace of usable, tiered storage, BlueArc servers can scale with growing data requirements and provide a competitive advantage for business processes by consolidating applications while ensuring optimal performance.
The BlueArc architecture is designed to overcome the data network bottlenecks created by software-based storage appliances and delivers superior performance without sacrificing scalability, storage bandwidth, or overall capacity. BlueArc's innovative architecture incorporates several key features, including a unique hardware-based operating system; an object-oriented file system with write-anywhere capabilities; separate metadata; standard fibre-channel switches; and multiple tiers of enterprise-class storage devices to support storage scalability and high performance.
