About LeftHand Networks
At LeftHand Networks® we deliver physical and virtual SANs that are easy to grow, easy to manage and designed for high performance. LeftHand pioneered IP-based SANs in 2001. Our innovative, scalable SAN solutions are ideal for storage and server consolidation, multi-site SANs, and disaster recovery, providing around-the-clock access to data for many applications, including server virtualization, Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, Oracle, file sharing, and replication to and from remote and branch offices.
Our open systems approach to storage allows customers to deploy entire, full-featured iSCSI SANs built with LeftHand NSMs, or to integrate our award-winning SAN/iQ® software onto servers from leading OEMs including HP, IBM and Dell. Businesses equipped with VMware ESX servers can also install LeftHand's Virtual SAN Appliance (VSA™) software to create a highly available SAN with internal server disk drives that leverage all the advanced features of a VMware VI3 environment without the purchase of an external SAN.
